IN RACE WITH THE DEVIL (with the Race Devil - USA 1975) by Jack Starrett
Running with the Devil (Trailer)
... The presence of RG Armstrong in "The Black Machine" got me back to mind another little cult movie of the '70s, in which the "Bob Ollinger" of "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid" goes alongside the great Peter Fonda and Warren Oates, one of the most c HARACTERISTICS American cinema of those years ...
SHEET FILM Two pairs of friends, I decided to spend their vacation in Colorado on a camper, inadvertently assist a human sacrifice by a mysterious sect of devil worshipers. From that moment will be the subject of "attention" of the members of the congregation, decided to obtain their silence, in a climate of growing unrest and suspicion.
The films are developed effectively (despite some small naive) some issues dear to the U.S. cinema, like the pioneering theme 's siege of conspiracy and conflict between city / country and civilization / barbarism. The novel pioneers took refuge in their camper / fort ("we are self-sufficient" wishes to reiterate Oates), surrounded by the ghosts of his own (justified) paranoia.
The last twenty minutes are nothing but a blatant homage to "Stagecoach" with Fonda who shoots from the roof of John Wayne as a camper, the camper instead of the same diligence, the asphalt in place of the desert and the worshipers of Satan that seem to Geronimo's warriors.
believe it is the usual, pointless remake.
