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.

gavin6942 Two couples vacationing together in a new Vogue R.V. from Texas to Aspen, Colorado are terrorized after they witness a murder during a Satanic ritual.Some of the decisions made by the characters in this film defy all reason. The bad driving, the ritual sacrifice within view of others campers... and some just silly mistakes. But all the silly plot is made up for by the action, chases and explosions. This is sort of like "Duel" in an RV.The most interesting thing is how the film starts with dirt bikes and you quickly assume the "race" must involve the dirt bikes. And yet, not even halfway in, the bikes are destroyed and serve no real point to the plot. A tank of oil (or gasoline) does, though.

Scott LeBrun Never mind the nasty dismissal in the annual paperback guide to movies by critic Leonard Maltin and cronies. This is classic, exhilarating *and* suspenseful drive-in entertainment, man!Real-life good friends Peter Fonda and Warren Oates play buddies Roger and Frank, who embark on a vacation with wives Kelly (Lara Parker) and Alice (Loretta Swit) that includes, or will include, activities such as camping, motorcycle racing, and, hopefully, skiing. Frank has even procured a state-of-the-art RV for the occasion. Unfortunately for this quartet, Roger and Frank end up witnessing a Satanic ritual & sacrifice taking place across a river. The Satanists (supposedly played by actual Satanists) realize they've been witnessed and thereafter relentlessly pursue the heroes.Actor / director Jack Starrett ("Slaughter", "Cleopatra Jones") stepped in on short notice to replace original director Lee Frost (Frost and co-writer / producer / actor Wes Bishop being familiar names to exploitation aficionados) as 20th Century Fox was dissatisfied with what Frost was turning out. And the results make for a fine viewing experience. The tension just builds and builds throughout the whole thing. Just get a load of the sequence where the nervous Kelly sees, or seems to see, menace in every strange face around her. This will have the audience thinking, "Just how many people are in on, or could be in on, this whole damn thing?" You'll wonder, too, if there's *anybody* trustworthy in the cast of characters.Particularly exciting scenes are those where Roger and Frank have to rush to get their vehicle going again before the villains can catch up, and where they and their wives must deal with an attack by a pair of rattlers. But best of all is the invigorating, breathless climactic action featuring some extremely impressive human and vehicle stunts. Leonard Rosenman's music score is ominous through and through, and there's one Hell of a distinctive looking tree to serve as an enduring image. Fonda, Oates, Swit, and Parker are immensely likable, and the supporting cast includes old pro R.G. Armstrong as the sheriff, Bishop as Deputy Dave, Phil Hoover as the creepy looking mechanic, and Paul A. Partain (Franklin in the original "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre") in a bit part. The movie features one of the most priceless of the downbeat endings common to 1970's cinema, ending this on a perfect note."Race with the Devil" is must viewing for anybody looking to discover the drive-in favourites of decades past.Nine out of 10.

sunznc Race with the Devil is one of those anxiety provoking and unnerving films that takes place on Texas highways in the 70's. These films have a very straightforward and simple story and script and almost no gore. There is a thread of innocence running through them and even though they are low budget they are enjoyable to watch.I think of Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry and The Great Texas Dynamite Chase which I believe were made around the same time although the script and acting here are better. Most of the time this film holds up well. The chase scenes of course are a bit dated and tame by today's standards but there are some truly unsettling if predictable scenes in this film. The film does have a slight movie-of-the-week feel to it but the chemistry between the actors and the story I believe will hold a person's interest and I think most will find it entertaining. It's fun to see these films now. They really did a good job with this stuff before CGI.
