Films like Race with the Devil.

Race with the Devil (1975) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured satanic / chase, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
