Isn't this the stupidest and greatest horror movie of the late 70's?

[Shadowstrike]

One of the best movies you’ll ever see.

I know everytime I went outside as a kid, I kept an eye on my parents car.

THE CAR (1977, trailer) James Brolin

Everytime I know he movie is on, I watch it. Another car movie of a somewhat supernatural nature is the 1986 Charlie Sheen movie, "The Wraith." IIRC, it was about a bunch of punk bullies who went after this one kid plus they would force people to race against them and if they lose, the loser gave up their car to them. One girl in the film was in an abusive relationship with one off the punks after the punks killed the older brother, Jamie, of the kid, Billy, who wanted to date her. A mysterious driver shows up and drove a powerful car where he takes on the punks where they die off one by one when the mysterious driver challenged them with the exception of the nerdy punk, which was not involved in the murder and turned good. The car was a Chrysler concept car and if you look hard enough, you can see the Chrysler star emblem.

Charlie Sheen shows up and befriends Billy and is later revealed to by the mysterious driver and the ghost of Jamie who came back to avenge his death and help his kid brother.

I watched this recently on Netflix. Another great movie of the hell-on-wheels genre is The Duel with Dennis Weaver.

There is no driver in....The Car

I still remember this great movie the first time I saw it when I was a kid.

Christine is my favorite evil car movie though. This one is second.

[Salamander]

Yes.

I both loved and feared The Car.

“Race With The Devil” is another schlocky but terrifying 70’s flick.

Lazlo, do you like roman polanski’s “the tenant”? That’s the best one, to me. From before he lost his wife, I think.

I liked this film; it’s somewhat underrated, and easily dismissed as a schlock-fest. It’s not bad as horror films, especially from the supernatural horror genre. And c’mon; who wouldn’t love to actually own a car that looks like that?

A horror film I’ve recently seen, from the supernatural horror genre, which I found very good is a J-Horror film called, “Noroi”. It’s one of the films I’ve seen which genuinely made my skin crawl.

Somehow this subject came up in a recent conversation, and I mentioned ‘The Car’. The ending gave me nightmares for years.

[RegulatorCountry]

That movie singlehandedly killed off the ridiculous Superfly retro kitsch that was so popular at the time. I wonder what sort of vehicle.was the basis for that dreadnought Monte Carlo? There’s a hint of late sixties Lincoln in the wheelbase and lower body, but that can’t be it, the unibody on those was notoriously flexible, to the point that doors would jam if you had to jack it up yourself to change a flat.

My best friend and I lived about a half a mile from one another. Our treks back and forth from house to house were never the same after seeing that movie. ; )

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How would Joe Bob Briggs rate it?

I know a guy who has one of these:
