It Is Ironic To See Lara Parker Running Away From The Devil Rather Than Running Towards Him!
by J. B. Hoyos (Chesapeake, VA)
Fans of the gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows" will want to see "Race with the Devil." It stars the beautiful Lara Parker as Kelly Marsh. Her husband Roger (Peter Fonda) and friends (Warren Oates and Loretta Swit) are terrorized and pursued by Satan worshippers as they travel the countryside in their RV while en-route to Amarillo, Texas.
Lara Parker is most famous for her role as the diabolical Angelique on "Dark Shadows." A Satan-worshipping witch, she would harm anyone who stood between her and her beloved Barnabas Collins, a vampire. Many times Angelique was merciless. Parker also starred in an episode of "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." She was a witch working as a model who wanted to kill her way to the top of the fashion industry. (Incidentally, both "Dark Shadows" and "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" were directed by Dan Curtis.) Therefore it is ironic to see Lara Parker in a role where she is tormented by witches. Her performance in "Race with the Devil" is an excellent one as it was with all her projects.
"Race with the Devil" has the same Satanic conspiratorial elements of "Rosemary's Baby." The helpless vacationers can't trust anyone as they race towards Amarillo. While watching this horror film, I kept hearing Rosemary Woodhouse screaming, "They're all witches!"
An excellent cast, suspenseful chase scenes, and an open, downbeat ending make "Race with the Devil" a must see for all fans of occult horror. Fans of Lara Parker and "Dark Shadows" will also want to see this film. It is interesting to see the gorgeous Parker in the role of victim rather than victimizer.
Anchor Bay has provided a great presentation of "Race with the Devil." It is shown in a widescreen presentation of 1.85:1 and is replete with full-length audio commentary from Lara Parker, an interview with Peter Fonda, and theatrical trailer. A movie poster replica has also been provided inside the plastic keep case.
4/5
A little gem, but the ending was atrocious... (spoilers below)
by M. D. Fonseca (Thunder)
This movie had me scared when I watched it back in the seventies or even in reprisals in the eighties...
The chemistry between Oates and Fonda was something great, above average for this kind of movie. The actions scene were well staged, the sense of claustrophobic doom is all over the film. We can always talk about plot holes, and there are a few of them in the movie, but they did not compromise the overall joy of watching it.
The only thing was wrong was the ending. Ok, it added to the notion of sheer terror, but I think they cheated the audience just for the sake of a twisting end. Why? We were led to care about the four main characters, all of them likeable people (and with good job done by the actors), only for them to die without even a glimpse of hope to escape... That was not fair.
3/5
2.5 stars out of 4
by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
As long as you don't take this 1975 Henry Fonda/Warren Oates vehicle too seriously, you'll probably appreciate its simple take of average Joes beset on all sides by middle-American weirdos; by no means art, it's a functional-enough little chase film.
5/5
I don't believe a school bus on Sunday...
by Ouija (Las Vegas, NV USA)
This is, without question, my favorite movie of all time. It has all the elements I love: a motor vehicle chase (in a brand new '75 Winnebago) and Warren Oates teamed up with Peter Fonda.
The premise is pretty simple: Two couples hit the road in a groovy Winnebago, the men witness a Satanic cult ritual late at night in the middle of nowhere, and the cultists only find out when Loretta Swit sticks her head out of the motor home to screech "Fraaaaannnk....it's late...come to bed!" From that point on, all hell (pardon the pun) breaks loose and audiences are treated to some great chase scenes, some creepy small town folks, and a bunch of snakes where they ought not be. Fonda and Oates were friends onscreen and off, and it showed. Their easy camaraderie is really the glue that holds this film together. Two friends, scared and running for their lives, do what they can to fight back. In addition to Swit, Lara Parker (Angelique on Dark Shadows) played the other wife and she too did a fantastic job screaming and acting terrified.
The defining moment of the movie for me was near the end when the now nearly destroyed, but still somehow running Winnebago approaches a roadblock. There's a bus by the side of the road and some kids standing nearby with adults, watching curiously. But Oates' instincts were spot on: "I don't believe a school bus on Sunday." And he plows right on through.
It's very 1975. Gotta love it. RIP Warren Oates.
Race With the Devil Summary
An Alternate Title For This Movie Could Easily Be
rv To Hell
. Two Middle-class Couples Take Their Spankin'-new Motor Home On A Trip To Colorado. While Camping Out In Texas, The Men See Something They Shouldn't--a Human Sacrifice By Satanists Who Somehow Manage Not To Notice Their Safeway- Sized Vehicle Until The Last Minute. The Tourists Flee From The Devil Worshippers, Getting The Monstrous Rv Hung Up In A Stream, And So Goes The Rest Of The Movie. The Local Sheriff Is In League With The Devil, And Every Town They Come To Is Full Of Pesky Satanists. The Vacationers Are Nothing If Not Resourceful, Though; When A Pair Of Determined Beelzebubbers Cling To The Vehicle Like Barnacles, Peter Fonda Pokes At Them With An Aluminum Vacuum-cleaner Wand Until They Give Up And Fall Off! Oddly, Halfway Through The Film, It Turns From A Fairly Routine (if Suspenseful) Horror Movie To A Ron Howard-style Car-chase Film, With A Half-dozen Vehicles Pursuing The Motor Home. The Vacationers Continue To Abuse The Rv Until Large Chunks Of It Begin To Fall Off, Fending Off Their Enemies With A Shotgun Until The Nasty Surprise Ending. With A Cast That Includes Fonda, Warren Oates, Loretta Swit, And Lara Parker, It's Hard To Go Wrong (though The Women's Roles Consist Of Screaming Ineffectually, Making Coffee, And Cleaning The Earth-toned Winnebago). Yep, This Central Texas-lensed Drive-in Feature Supplies Thrills, Car Wrecks, Devil Worshippers, And Unintended Laughs By The Bushel... What Else Can You Ask For?
--jerry Renshaw
Frank (Warren Oates) and Roger (Peter Fonda) take off for Colorado with their wives in a recreational vehicle, looking forward to some skiing and dirt biking. While camping en route, they witness a satanic ritual sacrifice, but the local sheriff finds no evidence to support their claims and urges them to continue on their vacation. On the way, however, they find themselves fleeing repeated attacks from cult members.
