Critics reviews

One of [Hammer's] finest films, with a concerted focus on the occultist leanings that would soon overtake the horror genre after the mania surrounding the likes of Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist (1973), and The Omen (1976). The Devil Rides Out was, in fact, perhaps too ahead-of-the-curve, but remains ripe for rediscovery due to its overwhelming sense of control over its cryptic, unnerving tone.
