A lot of fun.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
I thought it was just going to be another B movie, but hey, this one actually turned out pretty good. The only parts I wasn't too keen on was the fact that the car literally just "shows up" out of seemingly nowhere, and you never find out what it really truly is, or why its there. The way the movie is layed out, it can leave you on the edge of your seat at times, which is rare with this kind of film usually. There are some times as well that leave you forming your own little theories on why certain events are taking place, for example, the car being unable to enter a graveyard. The reasoning for this is suggested, but never truly set in stone. Later on you notice the car is completely indestructible, its tires unbustable, glass unbreakable and completely unstoppable, which adds to the suspense. The ending, for me, was both a bit confusing, and very eye opening. I really liked this film, more than I thought I would.
I don't know if it was deliberate on the part of the producers or not of The Car, but just what was the issue that this possessed vehicle had with the good citizens of this small Utah town? And why was it that it only just toyed with Deputy James Brolin instead of just outright killing him as it did others?We never get a reason for all the mayhem and murder The Car causes. But this driverless vehicle appears out of nowhere and starts running down random citizens. In the name of God knows why?Even some of the worst horror films are always a mystery, a mystery of the occult as it were, but still a mystery to solve. We get nothing of that here. Maybe because half the law enforcement community in this county get done in by the vehicle including Sheriff John Marley.That left me kind of up in the air after the rather spectacular conclusion and desperate measure taken by law enforcement to put a stop to The Car. Not a satisfactory end for me.
This is one devilish car: There is no driver, no door handles and it kills people - how do you stop it? Who possesses it? Who will be it's next victim and why? Watch The Car to find out more.The film is a very creepy horror-thriller with a lot of mystery surrounding The Car.I very much liked this movie - it really is full of suspense and thrills. It's actually another fun movie to watch yet it would be horrifying if this was reality.This movie would make a great double feature with another awesome horror movie surrounding a car Christine 1983. The only thing that is similar about these two films is the "creepy car" theme - the stories of both films are entirely different.9/10
Each of you must have a certain set of films, which can be combined into a single more or less slender list. It will tape sincerely loved you, and ranks high in all kinds of tops. This movie you can always with great pleasure to review, despite the fact that it has been N-FLOW time. These movies are loved, respected, and in the company of well-educated people in cinematic terms, you can start a conversation about this movie and keep the conversation going. So, "The Car" - with a huge degree of probability is not in those lists of most viewers. He's an old, rated the Audience Award - below average, and that's where something must now become the appropriateness write a review for this tape. The reason is simple - the movie is not so bad and is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. The tape does not try to outdo something to reach some point or pretend Th-what is not really. From the beginning, it shows its true face of low-budget thriller, with a fairly standard narrative scheme. In the life of a small town there is something that is killing (in this case - converted "Lincoln"), after a series of murders takes over the local hero (often - the sheriff), and after the failure of one still finds the strength to cope with the task. Scheme guileless and all long familiar, even in the distant 1977 But what distinguishes this case from many others like him - implementation of the protagonist, as such (in the sense of a car). Taking the example of the best samples of the genre, the killer if what scares because of its history, the idea of purpose in the end - or rather the lack of it all. Whence, what appeared, why kill - is not known. Fact - kills. And this, mind you, six years before the "Christine" by Stephen King and a quarter of a century to "Almost like a Buick" from the same master of horror. Some features will be present in these books, but to blame the inhabitant of Maine for plagiarism or copyright borrowing still not worth it - not such innovative ideas, but I wonder embodied already in «The Car». Local story and for history merciless to the main characters, as well as all honest thrillers of the time that were not afraid of the blood shed, and crush some of the approximate antagonist. With all the budget and a certain intimacy, which could not but affect the scenario and its capacity to accuse him of Leaky not work. If that happens in the film, then for some purpose, explicit or not. With four-wheel character fights a standard set of good guys quiet town. Then you and the main character, a positive from all sides a lawyer, and his friend with a drinking problem, and a grumpy family, and even a police officer, who stayed a couple of days until retirement (the author insists on putting on such characters timer countdown to death) . Volume of these characters have little or no, but to honor the actors who played at the level corresponding to the level of the film. The tape itself is well aware that he could not show off the main characters, and puts on a central character, the fact that "almost like" Lincoln. "He struggled trying to scare or impress. Designers had a hand in the appearance of the car, making the front of the more "evil" and expressive. More elegant solution - a yellow car windshield. The latter, though, and leads friendship with otherworldly powers, has the honor roll is not in the trivial type of blood-red, the color - the sun, from which contrast with the acts even more interesting. Completes this is not quite the standard position the horn, which is not something that scares - more annoying and adds discomfort. Cute car with cemetery relationship experts understand the theme from the first hint and get a real pleasure, without waiting for the fact that they all chew. Here such it is not a standard "The Car", 1977 edition. Not having a great timing and overgrown by a series of third-sequels (and where with such a budget, and this ending?), He is able to give a pleasant evening in the company cinephile. Stars from the sky it is not enough, but at the same time may be pleasantly surprised. Moreover, this movie even catered to the list under the sonorous title of "Top 100 worst movies that can give pleasure", which in itself is interesting and worthy of respect.Source - http://review.couplelovestyle.com/pochti-kak-linkoln/
