Oops, pardon my misinterpretation, Slortar. Still, I think most viewers would agree that eroticism was an element of the Christopher Lee Dracula films – what with all those swooning young female victims and their orgasmic expressions upon being bitten.

I’m not sure why Dijon Warlock calls THE DEVIL RIDES OUT a “cheesy satanist pic.” The film is actually very well crafted, written and acted. I guess the special effects could be considered cheesy; they don’t stand the test of time well at all. Since most of them come at the end, during the climactic confrontation between good and evil, I guess you could leave the film feeling disappointed.
