This movie may make you think of Christine or The Car, but it's different from those movies, really. It's an awesome mysterious car thriller/horror movie with a good cast, and I loved it.

I went to see this because it was advertised on Headbanger's Ball. It's a silly film. The car, however, is undeinably cool. And Sherilyn Fenn is undeniably hot.

Deliciously cheesy in all it's 80's drag racing glory this is a film every bit wo... read more
Critic Reviews
There is all too little of the quietly charismatic Sheen and all too much of Cassavetes, who is a dead ringer for the young Hugh Hefner. Full Review
A ridiculous mishmash of drag racing, ghosts, and science fiction. Full Review
The town (comprising one house, a burger joint and no citizen who isn't a teenager or a cop) is overseen by Sheriff Randy Quaid, who displays all the reverence the script deserves. Full Review
An imaginative, thrilling piece
This movie makes no sense.
An enjoyably trashy sci-fi/car racing action movie.
