Race with the Devil (Starrett, 1975) + The Brotherhood of Satan (McEveety, 1971):
Prince Charles Cinema, 6pm
Time Out review of Race with the Devil:
Less a race than a chase, with holidaymaking Peter Fonda, Warren Oates and wives
fleeing a bunch of Texas Satanists whose human sacrifice they've barged
into. A crescendo of near-miss car smashes, horrible discoveries in the
caravan, and out-of-order telephones, convinces the quartet that the
whole state's bent; by which time we think so too, and dread the
outcome. A wittily efficient quickie, the film is a winner all the way -
a surprise, since Starrett's career thus far had been the movie
director's equivalent of a criminal record. But it was scripted by Lee Frost and Wes Bishop, who produced another jolly horror, The Thing With Two Heads and who started classically by making sex films in a garage.
