A murderous car wreaks havoc on a small Western town in this thriller that has gone on to achieve a small degree of cult status in spite of its own silliness. After a pair of bikers and a horn-playing... read more

One of the most bizarre films I've ever seen dialogue-wise. The Car is a bit of a take on the killer car genre, which includes Duel and later Christine. It's halfway decent, if not incredibly boring at times. More time is spent by the characters sitting around trying to figure ou... read more
The Car is a pretty good Horror film involving a possessed car terrorizing a small town. This film came a few years after Steven Spielberg's similar Horror thriller, Duel. Duel has been credited of influencing the genre of killer of vehicles. The Car is one of many of these types... read more
A not so great movie, but it's entertaining anyway. The plot is very simple, and the story is kind of bare, and silly too. Even so, it was fun to watch.
I'd heard about this over the years, but it sounded a little hokey. Finally ran across it, and, yes, it is pretty hokey, but it's really not bad, especially considering it's more than 30 years old. The dialog is probably the weakest part of the film, and their are some ambitiou... read more
Opening with a quote from the irrelevant Anton La Vey, The Car looks like what someone would have come up with after seeing the success of Duel and Jaws, and combined the two. The car was designed by George Barris, and is a hulking brute of a thing, with massive bumpers and head... read more
Made in 1977 this film features James Brolin as the sheriff of a quaint desert town that's being terrorized by one very cool looking black sedan that just appears out of nowhere. The Car has no driver, no motive, and no mercy as a tag line for the film reads

Silly desert-themed movie about a demonic car. It has some frightening scenes, but it's now very dated.
In many ways it is a similar kind of story to "Christine" though the Stephen King effort was even sillier.
A backwater town is terrorized by a demonic black sedan in an entertainingly silly 70s B-movie horror. Not as good as the rather more adult Duel, but a lot more fun than the overly po-faced and humourless Christine.
After watching the History Channel the other night and seeing the pilot for the cool new series entitled Canadian Restoration, where a customer bought a Lincoln Mark III and wanted the guys at the shop to literally transform it into the car from The Car, i immediatly re-watched t... read more
The performances are terrible -- thin and overwrought in the manner of actors trying to improvise without an idea in their heads. Full Review
Good score, OK crash sequences, and lots of unintentional laughs are the only reasons to sit through this movie. Full Review
Interminably drawn out, with some good special effects but its characters hauled straight out of the cracker-barrel, it has nowhere near the same minatory charge as Spielberg's Duel. Full Review
silly horror classic
The action centres on a remote Midwestern town where a demonic driverless car terrorizes motorists, pedestrians and, in one of the film's genuinely scary moments, cyclists. Full Review
...with a script this silly, it's hard to maintain any sense of horror or suspense. Full Review
