1975 - RACE WITH THE DEVIL, entertaining B movie with Satanists and Warren Oates


Finally the truth that good liberals have known all along, southwest Texas is crawling with devil worshiping satanists who aren't above sacrificing a virgin now and then.


Into this mix comes two couples on their vacation in their very cool  new Winnebago which has all the modern conveniences among them a color TV and a microwave.  The film also has a couple of seriously iconic actors, Peter Fonda and Warren Oates.

The director is B movie pro Jack Starrett who makes sure there is lots of action and that at some point in the film, the female leads will show up in tiny swimsuits.


This film is essentially a car chase movie with the red neck devil worshippers in pursuit of the Winnebago after Oates and Fonda accidentally witness one of their satanical rituals.  The stunt work with the cars and Winnebago is very impressive and this is a car chase using a Winnebago of all things.


But really this film is about watching a couple of cool guy actors like Oates and Fonda deliver the goods in an entertaining B movie.

88 minutes
