The Car (1977)

[Movie 12 / Day 8]


Having not having had quite enough of possessed devil cars after Christine, I felt the need to watch this made-for-TV movie. It’s fun enough, in a bad plot, rubbish effects kind of way.

Basic storyline is a small town is terrorised by a big black car with no driver that is going around running people down. Turns out there’s no driver and it’s scared of driving onto hallowed ground (ie, a graveyard). Scary stuff.

Why they felt the need to speed the film up any time a vehicle was on-screen, I’m not sure. It never looks realistic, just sped up. If you want the cars to look like they’re going fast, drive them fast. Simple.

My rating: 5.1 / 10
IMDB rating: 5.2 / 10
Running time: 96 mins
