Devil Riders (UK title)


I bought this in Asda last week on a blind buy. I am usually wary of movies I've never heard of and don't usually buy them untill I find out more about them first. This is through there being too many crap movies out there (both independent and mainstream). But thankfully this was one blind buy that actually paid off in the end. I watched it tonight for the first time since buying it last week. I was only disappointed with the ending to the movie. Everything else was fine. The lovely Debra Hopkins was wonderful as always and the acting was decent from all involved. This is a rare thing in independent movies of late. A lot of these movies that pop up out of nowhere have acting like they had just grabbed someone off the street and stuck them infront of a camera and shouted "ACT!" and they started filming them. This is why I am wary of buying movies I have never heard of before.

Devil Riders (aka Poker Run) 7.5/10

I want to say 9 but the ending I wasn't happy with see spoiler below for why.

Susan didn't get away at the end. It gave us a typical horror movie (sequel planned) ending. It would have been better if Susan survived and Allen still did what he did at the end (drove off into the horizon). Only passing Susan and the girl as he went, ignoring them, and onwards he rode. Susan then kind of shocked at why he ignored them and on she and the girl walked down the road to the nearest help. But NO they didn't do that. Fools!.
