LEE-A-THON MOVIE OF THE DAY NO. 30

THE DEVIL RIDES OUT!  

Hammer's almost entirely successful filming of Dennis Wheatley's black magic novel brought to the film company by the author's buddy Christopher Lee.  The special effects climax (which features not-very-special effects) may not be as spectacular as one would like but it doesn't dampen the fun.  Great performances throughout by Lee "on the side of the angels" this time as the Duc de Richelieu and Charles Gray (of the neon eyes) perfect as the Aleister Crowley-like evil mage Mocata.
