Peter Fonda and Warren Oates are burning their bridges and a lot of rubber on the deadliest stretch of road in the country.
"Trust me, you'll be on the edge of your seat biting your nails and screaming with the rest of us. One of the all-time exploitation classics." - Lars Nilsen, Warped & Faded: Weird Wednesday and the Birth of The American Genre Film Archive
"A much-loved fusion of car-chase film, paranoid thriller, and devil-scare horror flick that benefits from game performances by its cast and muscular direction from b-movie vet Jack Starrett." - Don Guarisco, Cinema Sewer
"A generally exciting merger of chase and chiller genres." - The Phantom of the Movies
"An action-packed car-chase movie." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia
For old friends Roger (Peter Fonda) and Frank (Warren Oates) and their wives (Lara Parker, Loretta Swit), it was supposed to be "the best damn vacation they ever had." But their RV road trip takes a deadly detour at a secluded campsite when they accidentally witness a satanic sacrifice in Race With the Devil. Now horror hits the highway as the couples are pursued by satanic cultists through some of the most intense car chases and into one of the greatest twist endings in drive-in movie history.
