Race With the Devil

For old friends Roger (Peter Fonda) and Frank (Warren Oates) and their wives (Lara Parker and Loretta Swit), it was supposed to be "the best damn vacation they ever had."

Now horror hits the highway as the couples are chased by blood-crazed cultists through some of the most intense crash-and-burn mayhem of the decade and into one of the greatest twist endings in drive-in history.

    Easy Rider was both a triumph and a millstone for its star and producer, Peter Fonda. Attempting to move on from that emblem of the counterculture on celluloid beads, shades, drugs, troubled family background Fonda lurched from one Easy Rider rip-off to the next. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, with Susan George and a lot of wrecked cars, was a momentary hit; Race with the Devil was a sort of sequel, with more high-speed chases. By this time, the influence of The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby was also present: the bad guys are satanists from the back of Texas beyond. It's a studio concoction and the characters are taken straight off the shelf, but director Jack Starrett keeps things moving and Fonda's co-star, Warren Oates, is always worth watching.
