Running with the devil

dworldeater

Simply put, Petey Wheatstraw The Devil's Son In Law is a beautiful movie man. Along with Dolemite, this is Rudy Ray Moore's best and most memorable work in film.This crosses over into the horror/supernatural genre a little bit as Petey Wheatstraw makes a deal with the devil to marry his daughter if he brings Petey back from the dead to get even with the treacherous Leroy and Skillet. Lucifer gives Petey a pimp cane that gives him all the powers of The Prince Of Darkness to even the score and along the way Petey has some fun with it. Eventually, this puts The Godfather Of Rap at odds with Satan. This is a constantly entertaining picture with almost no budget that works due to the natural coolness of Rudy Ray Moore. This features his usual Rudy Ray Moore Fu as he takes on the devil. Petey Wheatstraw is totally insane entertainment and one of my all time favorites.

score 10/10
