Christine: Special Edition

Besides Carrie, Christine is my 2nd favorite Stephen King film! John Carpenter did an awesome job at directing this, as he did with my all-time favorite movie, HALLOWEEN! I love the idea of a classic red 1958 Plymouth Fury being possessed and kills for her owner. Her name is Christine. A nerd named Arnie Cunningham finds a crappy Plymouth Fury, and fixes it up. After he fixes it, it looks awesome! The bullies that pick on Arnie and trash Christine get whats comin' to them. Arnie's friend, Dennis, and Arnie's girlfried, Leigh try to find out about Christine's haunted past and try to stop her from taking over Arnie, who is now obsessed with Christine. I love how Christine fixes herself. If you love horror, classic cars, and Stephen King films, you'll love CHRISTINE!!!

This is still a good old suspense movie. Shilling and thrilling. With a good story line behind it.

Christine (Special Edition) During post-war, pre-inflation 1957, the Detroit assebly lines were the bread and butter of the American economy. It was a time of cheap Gas, plentiful steel, and an insatiable hunger for the dream-machines that were cranked out by the Big Three, FORD-GENERAL MOTORS-CHRYSLER. John Carpenter, opens the film in are-created Plymouth plant in Detroit, late 1957, where a singular red and white Fury rolls down the line amid the roar of machinery and the whine of air-tools. Finned, fitted, sleek and shiny, another new '58 is ready to cruise. The foreman is glad to see this one go. It has been trouble all the way down the line, killed a line worker - somehow even the air feels cold as the car goes by. Some cars are just - born bad. Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) is the school - jerk. There's no getting around it. The minute you see the adhesive holding his glasses together, the moment the Garbage bag breaks all over the driveway, you know this guy. Arnie Cunningh... Read more

She can't (and won't) drive 55.... Stephen King's novel about the twisted love affair between a boy and his car gets transferred to the screen, courtesy of suspense master John Carpenter. Although lacking some of the more outré supernatural elements of the source material, this high-octane cinematic tune-up more than delivers the goods, horror-wise (Christine's midnight rampages will never be forgotten)--as well as being a sly exposé of the random cruelties within the high-school pecking order. Keith Gordon (who has gone on to become a stellar director in his own right, with films such as A Midnight Clear and Mother Night to his credit) gives a wonderfully controlled central performance. Keith Gordon makes the most of the lead role as the nerdy Arnie who quickly becomes the disturbed owner of "Christine". Support cast, including John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul and Harry Dean Stanton have precious little to do, though Robert Prosky does a good job of being gross. Carpenter's atmosp... Read more
