Christopher Lee, perhaps best known for his role as Dracula, gets to show his good side as the heroic and cavalier Duc de Richleau, who maintains the air of a gentleman throughout his tireless battle with a Satanic coven, led by the wonderfully villainous Mocata (Charles Gray). An entertaining and extremely chilling adaptation of Dennis Wheatly's classic horror novel. [More]

Reviews for The Devil Rides Out
It all sounds silly, but it is directed with a style and flair that create a creepy mood.
Fisher's direction makes one of the Satanic orgies a production highspot, aided by some frenzied choreography by David Toguri and apt mood music.
Over the years, this film's reputation has grown enormously, and its cult status must be as high as any horror movie.
A curiously self-serious film, almost a message picture about black magic, albeit with great puffs of smoke, a giant spider, and a man in a goat costume
I can't recall Christopher Lee being more animated and more enjoyable to watch.
Spectacularly silly, stunningly colourful, and grounded by concise, unexaggerated direction.
