Christine was first released in 1983 and stars Keith Gordon as a teenager named Arnie Cunningham who spots an old car whilst driving with his best friend played by John Stockwell, he instantly falls in love with the car, a 1958 Plymouth Fury, but his friends also start to notice a change in Arnie, a dark change.
So what did I think of this movie, well I didn’t think that the film was as good as it could have been, I thought that it didn’t spend enough time of Arnie’s transformation from high school nerd to charismatic hipster nor did it show more of Christine as the car from hell, both of were good ideas but they didn’t have the oomph that they should of.
One thing I did like though were the few scenes with Christine as the satanic car who does away with her victims, the direction by John Carpenter, who later made Big Trouble in Little China works best in these moments.
Out of 5, I will give this a 2 and a half, it had some great ideas in it that sadly didn’t reach their full potential.
