Christine
She was born in Detroit… on an automobile assembly line. But she is no
ordinary automobile. Deep within her chassis lives an unholy presence. She is
Christine – a red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury whose unique standard
equipment includes an evil, indestructible vengeance that will destroy anyone in
her way. She seduces 17-year-old Arnie Cunningham (KEITH GORDON), who becomes
consumed with passion for her sleek, rounded, chrome-laden body. She demands his
complete and unquestioned devotion and when outsiders seek to interfere, they
become the victims of Christine's horrifying wrath.
CRITIC REVIEWS FOR CHRISTINE
- “Between the smartest effects and Gordon's canny performance,
[Christine] is more diverting than the material probably deserves.” –
Gary Arnold , Washington Post
- “Relatively artless when compared to several other King adaptations
around the time (Carrie, The Shining, The Dead Zone) or even with
Carpenter's previous picture (1982's career-best The Thing), the film still
delivers the goods as entertainment.” – Matt Brunson , Creative
Loafing
- “Proves Carpenter's mastery of both mood and the widescreen
frame.” – Nick Schager , Lessons of Darkness
