Adapted from the novel by Stephen King, this killer car chiller is the ultimate in auto eroticism. The idea that a 1958 Plymouth Fury can turn into a jealous mistress is a cracker and, through his ingenious use of close-ups and seductive angles, director John Carpenter turns Christine into the sassiest thing on four wheels. He also gets a likeable performance out of Keith Gordon as the geek who becomes a dude the moment he inserts his key in the ignition. It's overlong and is more effective as a dark comedy than a horror, but remains a triumph of subtle effects work and soundtrack selection.
"...[The] flashy auto dominates everything, its jealousy is effectively, and sometimes humorously conveyed....Technically, the film is outstanding..."
What can I say? I havent seen this film for like 10 years but remembered it as very scary.
Watched it and wow! Its still lost none of its charm or appeal. Its not like todays horror films, where they scare you with vile images, its a proper head trip! You never see anything really gory, but somehow youre still just as scared.
The acting is very good, and the car is a classic American beauty.
Watch it on a dark rainy night, alone, and it'll give you nightmares :-)

Actor Martin Short gave female stylists working on his 1994 comedy Clifford more than they bargained for during his first day of filming, when he accidentally exposed himself. The funnyman portrayed the 10-year-old title character in the movie, despite being 44 at the time. He was required to shave his legs for the role but was in such a rush to get to the set, he forgot to do so and had to ask the on-set hairdresser, Christine, and her assistant to help him with hair removal cream Nair.
