Monster Hunter
When this was released in the U.S. it was retitled The Devil's Bride, probably because The Devil Rides Out really doesn't make any sense, but there wasn't any bride the devil was trying to get either. ...read the complete Devil Rides Out movie review at Monster Hunter
Fulvue Drive-in
Though his writing is always solid, there is something that seems to get lost in translation from his talents to the Hammer way of doing things. ...read the complete Devil Rides Out movie review at Fulvue Drive-in

Movie Gazette (Gary Panton)
This Hammer studios adaptation of the classic Dennis Wheatley novel looks more than a little dated these days, of course, and I can't deny that much of it had me chuckling rather than diving behind the sofa. ...read the complete Devil Rides Out movie review at Movie Gazette (Gary Panton)

Cinema Laser (Derek M. Germano)

Teleport City
About the same time Black action heroes were fighting the Man in the cities, deep in the country or in the swamps, hillbillies were fighting off corrupt sheriffs or running moonshine. ...read the complete Devil Rides Out movie review at Teleport City
