Bad, but watchable for old time sake. - Race with the Devil review by CP Customer
Like others watched this little ‘gem’ years ago. It’s not aged well, but I still enjoyed it for nostalgia sake. The plot has so many holes in it, the ensemble cast acting is dire. Car chase scenes are still not bad at all. Overall It’s old, has dated badly, but good for a laugh. Don’t expected to be scared, but not bad for a few hours entertainment. Peter Fonda grimacing is worth the rental alone.

PETER FONDA ON A BIKE, AGAIN! - Race with the Devil review by Frank Talker™
Very good scary White people chasing scared White people movie.
Here we are presented with a culture from which there is no escape, when two couples go against their culture and are repeatedly threatened until an explosive climax is reached.
Lara PARKER, in particular, essays a superb sense of being trapped in a nightmare from which she cannot awake, by showing how complacent White people are in their uncontrollable fear of each other.
Despite the implausible plot, the emotional realism and dread-filled atmosphere grips like a garotte and never let's up.

I first saw this film years ago and having just watched it again it’s just as good as I remember. It’s thrilling from beginning to end. Edge of the seat fantastic film.
