Race with the Devil
Dir: Jack Starrett
1975
***
Race with the Devil is a 70's oddity that doesn't seem to know whether it wants to me a road movie or a horror. Starring Peter Fonda, it's no surprise that motor bikes are involved, even though they bring absolutely nothing to the story. You will shout at the screen quite a lot too as all the horror film cliches line up but then you have to remember that this film probably wrote half of those cliches anyway. Not a great horror but the action scenes and the road chase at the end make up for it.
