I read the book about ten years before I saw the film and thought that it remained as failthful as possible to the book.

Call the Yanks whatever you like but the inescapable fact is they make the most beautiful cars ever, period. Christine is a '58 Plymouth Fury and to be perfectly frank if this car doesn't turn you then you haven't got a switch!!!! My wife looked bemused and said 'it's a car.' which is tantamount to saying Michael Schumacher is a driver!!

The film is about 20 minutes too long and the director didn't get the best out of all the shots but the car takes your mind off all those inadequacies.

I've seen this on both T.V. and DVD and I'd choose the big screen any time.

Definitely worth a watch and the car gets 5 stars!

About the reviewer: Stinger

I am an old-timer and a traditionalist but I can be persuaded to up-date my ideas if it is worth it. I like horror/thriller/action movies but hate the films that rely solely on stuff like CGI as they usually detract from the value of the film. I long to see the tough guy actors make a comeback as I just cannot see Leonardo DiCaprio as a toughie, he is like a teenager with a stuck on moustache.
