The Devil Rides Out (aka The Devil's Bride)
The Devil
Rides Out (1968)
My personal
review is that this is one of my favorite films and I think one of Christopher
Lee’s best and who can resist Charles Gray as a villain? The only flaws are that the spider effect
didn’t hold up well (go figure it was 1968) and the ending can be confusing for
those who haven’t read the book. The movie
does away with the real plot of the book in retrieving the part of Osiris’
anatomy that Isis didn’t find after Set chopped him up in Egyptian
mythology. In the movie we’re never
really sure why Mocata won’t let Simon or Tanith go as there seems to be plenty
of devil worshippers running around at the grand sabbat. In the book they need Simon as a foci to find
Osiris’ bits because of his astrological chart and being easily hypnotized (we
see that in the film). The ending of
Marie calling on Isis (positive magic) to defeat Mocata who is using Setian
magic makes sense if you have the proper context. Isis responding to a mother in need fits with
the book.
Sir
Christopher loved playing the Duc and getting to be a good guy with the
character using a vast array of occult knowledge. He was very well read and wanted to get details
right.
