It's Hammer time again! 1968 saw Hammer studios adapt Dennis Wheatley's novel The Devil Rides Out with Christopher Lee and Charles Gray as opposing forces and the combined talents of director Terence Fisher and writer Richard Matheson behind the camera. A hell for leather pace a surreal appearance by the devil himself
and the undoubtable talents of it's leads help iron out some of the more questionable moments (the not so special effects for one) and of course there is an amazing score by James Bernard
Over the years Wheatley seems to have become something of a forgotten figure in horror fiction, despite his works being among the best sellers in the 1960's, it's a shame, as there are far less deserving writers who recieve the credit Wheatley does not. Christopher Lee has often stated that he would love to see someone remake The Devil Rides Out, i'm no fan of remakes but i think i would gladly pay to see someone take a crack at this one.
