Tagline: What EVIL drives... The Car

Plot: James Brolin stars as Sheriff Wade Parent, a man who must stop a large, black 2-door sedan from terrorizing a small New Mexican town. No one knows the car's origin, who is driving it, or how to stop it. After it kills 3 people, the Sheriff must find a way to stop this seemingly indestructible machine. Who is behind the wheel? Could it be...Satan? That may be the case given that late Chuch of Satan leader Anton LaVey was given a 'Technical Advisor' credit on the film! Though it was greeted by a chorus of jeers when it surfaced in 1977, this is a goofy but oddly gripping and altogether unconventional horror film. From the director of A MAN CALLED HORSE and a script co-written by Michael Butler, writer of PALE

external linkUnimpressive big-studio mess is poorly acted and will make you doze. At least an annoying hitchhiker is killed. 1.5/4


external linkDon’t rent a film called The Car man! But if it’s a frightening, clever, violent and surprising, shameless JAWS copycat you crave; highjack this ride; it’s murder! 3/4
