Christine

Summary: A good movie
Review: The movie "Christine" follows the book very closly. Which is a good sign, the book was good too. It was directed by John Carpenter when he still cared about making good scary movies. The more or less unknown cast all did a good job with their roles, especially Keith Gorden, very creepy. But the crowning acheivement was making the car scary; blood red, grill looks like the mouth of a bear, and the tail fins that are sharp as a knife, every angle of that car was spooky. Definatly the perfect Halloween movie, after "Halloween", of course.

Summary: Scarry movie, about a Classic 1958 Automobile
Review: This movie wastes no time getting to the scarry part. The beginning is scarry and somewhat violent. Movie has it's humor spots and Teenage love scenes; but for the most part, it is scarry and violent! Don't let your kids under 13 watch it; cause it has some real violent scenes in it. I mean full view violent, like a car hitting a person running from it; and there is NO DRIVER in the car. Movie capitalizes on showing had bad a person can be injured by a car; by running over a person, squeezing them in the front seat, causing fire at a gas station. The car itself, is EVIL. Enough said. Has good ending though. Actors and Actresses are very good in this movie. Movie is more fictional than real life. Has some real life scenes; but mainly is a horror movie; and it will get to you. The music in this movie is classic, 1950s rock and roll, and very good. You will love hearing songs in this movie; if you you are into 1950s rock and roll. Lots of good hits in this movie. The car's radio only plays 1950s songs, all the time. Horror movie with Classic Car.

Summary: Gr8
Review: This was a great movie based on the book by Stephen King. A guy, which I think is a dork, found a car, Christine, at a junkyard and fell in love with it right away. He insisted on buying it. And that's what he did. His parents were angry with him, which was the beignning of this car madness. He got mad at them, of coarse. Soon he gets a hot girlfriend that his best friend likes and Christine gets mad because he loves someone else. That stops soon, cuz he begins to fall for Christine and reject his girlfriend. He seems to hate everyone, except Christine. Then, when Christine gets dented or something, it can go back to new. This movie sounded stupid to me at furst, but I rented it ayways. I really don't like cars and I wondered how a car could be scary.But I was wrong. It turned out to be one of my favorotes! So, see it!

Summary: One Of Carpeneter's (And King's) Best
Review: A lot of people say that John Carpenter lost it shortly after making the horror classic, Halloween. I say, huh? No way. Halloween came out in '78, The Fog in '80, The Thing in '82, and this wonderful adaptation of the equally inspired Stephen King book came out in '83. Ok, so The Fog is never going to receive the kind of acclaim that Halloween has, but let's not overlook the others. I still think The Thing is one of his best movies, and superior to the original in many ways. I remember loving Christine when I first read it, despite a somewhat slow beginning, so I was excited to see how it would translate to the big screen. I was not disappointed.

Carpenter took a plot that could have easily slid into hokum (a car that comes to life and forms an all-too dangerous bond with its owner) and successfully created an underrated gem of a horror movie. Acting, music (by Carpenter as usual), effects, great twist ending - it all works wonderfully.

Add to the mix some very memorable sequences and creative use of some classic rock songs (they'll never quite sound the same again) and you've got a welcome addition to any horror-fan's collection.

If you're open-minded enough to accept the plot, you're in for a real treat. Carpenter may be best known for Halloween, but to me he'll be known as the guy who took what might've been the hardest Stephen King story to adapt, and created a masterpiece.

Summary: Evil Car + Unpopular Kid = A Damn Good Movie
Review: Despite some opinions, Christine is a key movie to have in any horror collection. Although, the ending should have been kept the way it was originally planned, instead of crushing Christine into a cube and ending the movie... Haha - room for a sequal... The DVD needs more features, and they need to release a soundtrack and not a score. There are some great songs in that movie, not only the oldies but the 1970's songs as well.. All in all, buy this movie - your thirst for satisfaction will be quenched with this movie.
