MCT:July 7, 2008Very faithful adaptation of the Dennis Wheatley novel. Christopher Lee gives a commanding performance of the hero.

MCT:June 16, 2008One of the best films Hammer made, this sees the studio casting about for new horror subjects and coming up with an adaptation of Dennis Wheatley's Satanist adventure. Richard Matheson, who had scripted many of the superb Poe films for Roger Corman, was drafted in to write. Lee is on great form in a rare heroic role and the rest of the cast are good, especially the effortlessly evil Charles Gray as leader of the Satanists. "The Devil Rides Out" is only let down by some - by today's standards - unconvincing effects work, and by the fact that the Black Masses are merely silly when they should be frightening, as they are for instance in Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby", made the same year. This latter problem does not, however, spoil the whole film, as it did the earlier "The Witches".

Christopher Lee fights Satan and Blofeld in this Hammer Horror Classic. An obvious influence on Dr. Orpheus in the Venture Brothers.

One of the best Hammer horror I've ever seen many thanks to good performance by Lee & Gray. Nice cheese :D

This has to rank as one of Christopher Lee's finest, subtlest performances - which is saying something. The plot is rather good, as well - very British, and never a bad thing. Suspense is brilliant, and it's well directed. Unfortunately, the special effects are just slightly rough around the edges for the period.

With extra money this could have beenreally something. As it is its still one of the better Hammer offerings with everyone putting in a good effort. Lee is great in his role and Charles Gray avoids going down the "boo-hiss" route with a nicely understated performance as the baddie.

MCT:October 11, 2007One of Hammer's all time classics, a very English battle between good and evil, with excellent performances from Christopher Lee and Charles Gray. The latters character saying "I won't be back later, but something will" is one of the most chilling lines in the history of cinema.

The only thing limiting this film is the budget and the time period. Otherwise? A fun mystical/fantasy/black magic adventure movie. Fans of Christopher Lee as Saruman should definitely give this one a shot.
-
MCT:June 24, 2007Still a great story and Christopher Lee acts his heart out, though if you want something even better you need to read "The Haunting of Toby Jugg" which is by far the best of Dennis Wheatley's work.

Very enjoyable Hammer horror. Christopher Lee is great as usual, and the special effects are amusing- particularly the rearing horse on rewind.

This is a true classic movie of the acult...1968, great looking English film...the devil as a goat!!

One of the great horror thrillers of the 60s. Sure, it's got an Victorian attitude about who's good (Jolly old Englishman) and who's bad (dirty foreignors) but it's a smashing, exciting film that is, in my opinion, director Fisher at the top of his game. I love this movie.

Great Hammer film with Lee as the good guy! Lee's dopey friends get involved in Satanic Worship and he has to straighten everything out.

Great fun watching Christopher Lee as a good guy for once. Charles Gray is mockingly evil as his opposite.
