Don't Mess With Christine!

I'm not particularly a fan of horror movies and I couldn't fix an ailing automobile if my life depended on it so the workings of cars don't fascinate me.....but this movie fascinated me. The '58 Plymouth Fury, alias "Christine," is absolutely gorgeous. What a piece of machinery!

This is a horror story but there are no ghosts or monsters nor is there any gore. A car is the star of the film, a very jealous and vengeful one at that. Man, that sounds silly but, if you're reading this you have probably watched the movie so no sense going into details. It's hard to describe the story in a paragraph without it sounding stupid....but it's not. Maybe the quickest way to explain it is that it is about a car that is alive, like a human, and you mess with it, you pay!

It is definitely one creepy, well-made, unique and always-entertaining film.

The car is a lot better than any of the people, sad to say. No, I didn't like any of the kids in this film (high schoolers who all look 30 years old!) and the language is a little too rough in spots, but that can be filtered out.

The car, the '50s music, the unique story, the satisfying revenge angle all make this very watchable.

Scarry scarry bang bang!

There is a "whoa!" Moment an hour into this adaption of the Stephen King novel which is more than just a male version of "Carrie". Keith Gordon is a geeky high school kid in his senior year, misunderstood by his parents and brutally harassed by the school punks. When he comes across an old car, he expresses interest in buying it from the brother of the previous owner, and finds out that it has a bit of a history. The harassment of the kids continues, and the car takes revenge for him.

Like Amy Irving in "Carrie", Gordon has a cool kid on his side, and it's actually a best friend rather than someone who's just trying to do right. He's John Stockwell, a class jock who has been there to support him through the difficult times, and he even gets himself beat up in protecting Gordon. There's also the new pretty girl who likes him (Alexandra Paul), so it's not like Gordon doesn't have a chance of survival. But the bullies are brutal, so when Christine, the name of the car given by the late owner, takes it's revenge, it's brutal and violent.

This has a good supporting cast including Roberts Blossom (a veteran at playing spooky characters), Robert Prosky and Harry Dean Stanton, and while the film is not as graphic as "Carrie", that actually has a bigger impact because of the subtlety. Christine has the ability to rebuild itself, basically rising like the phoenix. That makes this a modern horror classic that takes an old theme and puts a unique twist on it.

Do not knock Christine

John Carpenter turns his back on visceral horror. Instead he is inspired by films such as Grease, Animal House and television shows like Happy Days. Nostalgia, rock n roll and a demonic car.

From the early scenes we can sense Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) is a High School nerd. He has never had a girlfriend. The big surprise is that his best friend Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell) is still hanging around with him. Dennis attracts women and is the top football player at school.

Arnie gets bullied at school with Dennis coming to the rescue.

When Arnie spots an old clapped out red 1957 Plymouth, he just has to buy it despite Dennis insisting that the car is junk.

Arnie becomes obsessed to fix up the car. He gets to help out in a garage where he works on Christine night and day.

Next time Dennis sees Arnie. Christine is spruced up and Arnie has a hot date, whereas Dennis gets injured at the football field.

Arnie is a changed man. Confident, even arrogant and rude. However after some incidents Dennis finds out the true history relating to Christine.

John Carpenter went for a slow build up of suspense with this Stephen King story. It probably is the best way to deal with a possessed car. Each time Christine gets angry the radio turns on.

When the high school bullies damage Christine, both Arnie and the car ride after them for revenge. Harry Dean Stanton plays the cop who seems to be more bothered where Arnie got that shade of red paint from to repair Christine.

It is a silly, flawed film but done so well by Carpenter.
