This one has really grown on me over the years. Damn good Stephen King movie. It's a blast. Keith Gordon brings it down a bit with his goofy hamming it up, but it's quite entertaining.

Decent killer car movie. Not Carpenter or King's best stuff, but it's still fairly entertaining. It's funny seeing Keith Gordon transforming into this bad ass. It's less intimidating and more frustrating.

I haven't seen this in decades and I still love it. The book also stands as an all time favorite. Watch it. Then read it.

The film is about sex. Everyone wants to fuck Arnie - the mother, the friend and the rebels. And he just wants to have sex with his girlfriend who doesn't want him. In the end, the car remains. Sounds like a happy ending to me.

Like most movies, if you've never read the book, You'll Love It. If you have read the book, you'll be like WTF??? [spoiler] Changing the locale of the story from Pittsburgh to California sucks a lot of the life out of it. The deaths of Buddy and Darnell are extremely cheapened without the snowstorm. More

One of the most intriguing coming-of-age stories in cinema, and this tends to be overlooked, both as a Stephen King story and horror film, in place of the more sensationalized frolic and mayhem of works such as 'The Shining', 'Carrie', 'Misery' and 'The Shawshank Redemption', which is a crying shame More

As with most Carpenter movies, the directing is the clear highlight. Very atmospheric, love how wet and rainy this film is, good variety of shots and the music’s great. I also like this idea of the car being used as a metaphor for teenage rebellion/rock ‘n roll and almost being like a drug to th More
