jacobjohntaylor1 This is only to people who are easy to scary. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. And it not scary. If you get scared of this movie you are to easy to scary. If you want to see something real scary See The Texas chainsaw massacre (1974). That is a real scary movie. If you get scared of this The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 will make you pooh pants. I do not know why it got a 6.6. A lot of people who are easy to scary must have seen it. Of course if you like really gross movies you will like this movie. And if you were scared by this movie do not see Leatherface Texas chainsaw massacre III you will go mad with fear. If you real want to get scared then you should see The Texas chainsaw massacre 2 and you should see Leatherface Texas chainsaw III. Do not waste your time or your money on this crap. It is not a 6.6 it is a 1.
PimpinAinttEasy RACE WITH THE DEVIL is a solid horror action movie that takes place entirely on the road. This film preceded MAD MAX and ROAD WARRIOR by at least 5 years. I bet the final chase scene in ROAD WARRIOR was inspired by this film's chase scene.It was a pleasure to watch it on blu ray - those beautiful American landscapes, gas stations, electric poles etc.The film has stood up pretty well even though it was made 40 years ago. The hands on action scenes are excellent. Though the people in the satanic cult are portrayed as rather dumb. But even then, great idea and execution.PETER FONDA is dull as usual. And WARREN OATES doesn't have much to do. For people who were into motorcycle racing, the two couples were pretty dour. The female characters were particularly common place.Tarantino might have been inspired by this film when he made the snake bite scene in KILL BILL 2.
thekesslerboy Does tick quite a few boxes of the period: satanic rituals, luxury campers, motorbikes, car chases and stunts (did they forget kung fu?) but this is one of the best - if not thee best - horror of it's type.The best laid plans of mice and men go to hell when our heroes-like-zeros spy on some Devil worshippers just to get a hazy flash of a young woman's upper charms. All hell breaks loose and a thrilling chase ensues. And when you start to think: well that was that, now things will go flat - you're just a wrong person living in negative town.This film has so much: the satanic thang, the automobile chases / fight action, the relentless threat, and Polanski-esk paranoia and claustrophobia. In 'feel' it's mostly like DUEL, with maybe a hint of ROSEMARY'S BABY.If a new law is passed limiting everybody to 10 horror films, I might keep this one, but 'm not sure, would be close, I'll let you know.
AaronCapenBanner Peter Fonda, Lara Parker, Warren Oates, & Loretta Switt star in this supernatural hybrid horror/chase picture about two couples taking a trip in their RV from Texas to Colorado when they accidentally come upon a group of Satanists whose human sacrifice they interrupt. In retaliation, they spend the duration of the film chasing them down, in an effort to silence them.Though featuring a good cast and direction, and is reasonably exciting, this film has too many loose ends/story loopholes to succeed. Exactly why the devil cult is so determined to kill them, no matter how many of their own die in the process, especially when, since they're so secretive, and have already covered their tracks well, it doesn't seem justified, is a real mystery. Then of course is the revelation of exactly how big this cult is, that leads to the gut-wrenching finale, which defies credibility.("Rosemary's Baby' again an influence!) Not bad really, film is watchable(needs a stronger script), just don't think about the logic too much(like I did!)
