The Blood on Satan's Claw
Why this pick
Its isolated rural setting, creeping satanic corruption, and increasingly nightmarish imagery make it a strong companion to The Devil’s Rain’s lurid occult mood.

A brisk, richly atmospheric occult adventure centered on a determined struggle against a satanic cult, with the same earnest vintage-horror flavor.

Race with the Devil

Another 1975 tale of ordinary people pursued by a sinister cult; it trades the gothic mansion for paranoid road-movie momentum and sustained threat.
04
The Sentinel
Why this pick
Its doom-laden occult conspiracy, conspicuous genre cast, and unapologetically grotesque finale echo the heightened supernatural excess of The Devil’s Rain.

Messiah of Evil
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A curse affects the Preston family, caused by their betrayal of the Satanic priest Jonathan Corbis (Ernest Borgnine). Corbis has harassed the Preston family for generations to obtain a Satanic book of great power. Corbis captures patriarch Steve Preston (George Sawaya), who is allowed to escape to warn his wife Emma (Ida Lupino) and younger son Mark (William Shatner) about Corbis' wrath. He tells them to give the book to Corbis, but during a rainstorm he melts into a waxy substance.
