Trivia:
Screenwriter Bill Phillips and rocker George Thorogood filmed a cameo appearance as the junkyard workers who compress Christine and dropped the cube at the end but the sequence was cut because neither one could act very well (as Phillips states in the documentary). It was Phillips who also suggested that they use Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone" as the movie's theme song. more

Keith Gordan and John Stockwell shine in this classic horror movie, 14 November 2003
8/10
Author: Kristine (kristinedrama14@msn.com) from Chicago, Illinois

I remember watching this movie as a child and being brutally afraid to watch it again. For like 11 years I didn't watch this film, and when I was DVD shopping I saw this movie for $9.99 and I remembered how scared I was. But I'm such a big horror movie fan, that I bought it and watched it. And I was very impressed with it.

The acting abilities it brought out were great, the music brought a lot of suspense, and Christine just filled you with fear. This is when John Carpenter still had his touch, so I'd recommend it.

10/10
