The only reason I rented this is because I vowed to see every horror movie in the town. My comments are not going to be nice ones.

The premise is not bad. A demon rider living on through the ages. The problems are the writing, directing, acting, dubbing editing, cinematography...I'll bet even the gaffer had something to do with the poor quality.

This isn't even a good time-filler. Even as something just to have background noise while doing something in the kitchen, it don't work.

As a final complaint: isn't a devil incarnate supposed to dress in black?

Devil Rider (1991)

(7/10):In this obscure,shot on video horror/western a vicious cowboy killer who was hung comes back from the dead to kill anyone who sets foot on his property.

It's a simple concept and admittedly it's not great but I rather enjoyed it as this is more worth my time than the likes of Ghost Riders,which was kinda boring but this one doesn't hide a lot of its poor effects and has one thing really good going for it, the costumes are great!

The picture quality on shot on video horror flicks are usually pretty bad but this one had some decent picture quality.

I also liked the score for this movie,simple,maybe even just a stock soundtrack but for whatever reason it just worked for me.

The movie is that bad kinda good but is a cool little western slasher flick that is decent for what it is.

I finally watched this film...and frankly, enjoyed. After all, my father wrote it!!!! I happen to know a little bit about the film in that it was all shot on 200 foot reels AND everything was done in one take. NO multiple takes...which, outside of editing, would be akin to shooting a video on the fly today, and handing it to someone...

All that taken into consideration, it is actually a great horror story: The spirit of a psychotic comes back in the flesh to claim his land...bloodying up everyone on it in the process.

If it had been done with a multimillion dollar budget and b grade actors (ex: Cary Elweis, etc) it could be a lot of fun.

I say, remake it...only this time around with some big names and big budgets.

Great leading man, sure I'd say that, it was me ( Rick Groat ), I am proud to say that I co-produced and star in this good old fun, action horror movie, with my co star brother Tag Groat as the Devil Rider. I did a change of character for this one as a yuppie type dude taking some folks to a ranch to buy property, only to find out that it was being terrorized by an outlaw from H..., and things get hairy. I had a great time doing this film with some very good film makers, stunt men, and actors. Check out the e-f-x, as they are very creative, as we had a small budget, and had to be very inventive. This film is a great B horror movie, and combines the old west with the new. Check it out, it is worth the price of the DVD, I have one. Rick Groat. Come see my page here on IMDb.

I thought it was a fun movie. I went in knowing it was low budget. But the story was cool. I've never seen a western horror before so I personally thought it was a cool idea. Yeah the acting is bad but that's what makes these types of movies fun. If you like B movies this one's worth a watch. And I have watched lots of bad movies that I would not say that about. It checks all the marks of a fun low budget film. It has lots of violence. Has some good looking women. Of course some nudity. Bad acting but a unique story.
