I bought the DVD, The Devil Rides Out, it is a fantastic film, I also got To The Devil A Daughter, haven't watched that one yet, I am savouring the experience. You can't beat a good Dennis Wheatley story, I have to say that reading the books is by far more satisfying than watching the DVD, but I suppose reading allows one to get right in to the story, I can imagine myself being there, experiencing all the horror of the occult and work of the devil. back to the DVD " The Devil Rides Out " it may be an old movie but it still had me glued to the box, watching it on my 50 Inch TV made it even better. I would like to get more DVD's by Dennis Wheatley but unfortunately they are few and far between, I am however building up a nice collection of his books.
great film for its time

Well, it's a late 1960s Hammer film, typical of the period, it has much in common with another classic Hammer film of the same period, Quatermass and the Pit. Both films, by modern standards lack special effects and bling, but rely on the all important story line. They both play on the mind, are atmospheric and evil is made all the more apparent by inference than out and out flashy special effects. This makes it more effective, a bit like a Norse saga told around an open hearth fire on a cold and windy night. This film is based upon the Denis Wheatley novel, set in the 1930s and is fairly true to the novel. The time period in the film isn't strongly stated, the clothing style and 1930s sports cars (Bentley 4.5 litre etc) are the give aways. Bottom line, this is a classic British horror film of the 1960s, well worth watching and placing in you classic collection.Read full review
