Christine (1983)
Directed by John
Carpenter this film based on the novel of the same name stars Keith
Gordon, Dennis Stockwell, Alexandra Paul and Robert Prosky. A high
school boy buys a damaged old car that seems to have a dark will of
it's own.
It would be easy to
say that this is a male version of Carrie (1976) as both films are
based on novels by Stephen King but I think this film lacks the
thematic depth of Carrie. There is one major change between the novel
and the film but I do not think it changes anything substantially.
The film is well made but not especially scary or spooky, there is
some tension towards the end but not a huge amount.
3/5
