Amazon.co.uk Review
She can't (and won't) drive 55.... Stephen King's novel about the twisted love affair between a boy and his car gets transferred to the screen, courtesy of suspense master John Carpenter. Although lacking some of the more outré supernatural elements of the source material, this high-octane cinematic tune-up more than delivers the goods, horror-wise (Christine's midnight rampages will never be forgotten)--as well as being a sly exposé of the random cruelties within the high-school pecking order. Keith Gordon (who has gone on to become a stellar director in his own right, with films such as A Midnight Clear and Mother Night to his credit) gives a wonderfully controlled central performance. Carpenter's atmospheric original score is backed up by a well-chosen collection of rock classics, including George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" (the titular character's all-too-apt theme song). --Andrew Wright, Amazon.com

Christine is a compressing movie!, 25 Feb 2005

By	B. Chandler "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christine [1984] (REGION 1) (NTSC) (DVD)

A kid, Arnie (Keith Gordon) inherits a car "Christine" with a dubious past. Poor thing needs some loving care. Parents say dump her. However Arnie is determined to fix her up even at the expense of his girl Leigh (Alexandra Paul) and despite the money grubbing garage owner. How will Christine respond to those who rival for her affection and those that despise her good looks?

She gets herself in to more tight spots. After each cursing experience Christine rebound with new enthusiasm (and a new paint job.) And talk about loyal to those who love her. Everyone knows that possession is nine points of the law; Christine had many points. This may have been the first car with an adjustable steering wheel.

Talk about fatal attraction.

Little Bitty Pretty One!, 6 Aug 2004

By	"kevin-187" - See all my reviews

Absolutely fantastic!

I first saw this movie when I was about 8 years old on November 5th - bomfire night - and believe that along with "DUEL" it is the most well done automobile movie. I have seen it so many time since. Although in Duel there was a driver who we never see, here it is the actual car that kills people.

Why?

Because of Love! The songs chosen refelect that fact and are an excellent choice in my opinion. The song title I used for the review featured in an excellent part of the movie. Was Arnie driving the car at that point. Who knows? He definitley wasn't when it killed the other three gang members because the car went on fire but here we don't know and are not told. The car fire scene was an excellent stunt for 1983. Now it would be done on computer and look terrible with fake fire. How did they stop the car from blowing up?

We never know how the car became evil or why. It is the mystery which makes the movie what it is. In Duel the truck had a driver but we never saw him and that made that movie have a similar sence of mystery.

If you haven't seen this movie it is a must buy - well worth the amazon price of �7.97

People who don't like it are probably looking for more than is there. It is a good story and very well directed.

I like the sign in the garage which reads:
"In God we trust - Everyone else pay cash!"

My Rating: 99.9%

Bad to the Bone, 5 Feb 2001

By A Customer

I love this movie, ok its not your average high-budget thriller with explotions etc. but it portraits a brilliant set of emotion, fear and evil. Ok its not that scary, but the acting is done well and considering I am not a fan of carpenters halloween series he has impressed me greatly with this...Awsome!!
