Arnie Cunningham is a typical high school nerd who is picked on, overruled by his parents, and has very few friends. Until he meets Christine, a run-down 1958 Plymouth Fury and buys her. Arnie learns that Christine has a thing for him and devotes his time to restoring her to Mint Condition. But overtime, Arnie begins to change and becomes disconnected with reality and his friends. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis find out that Christine's previous owner cared about nothing else when he bought her and find out that Arnie is becoming just like him. The only way they can bring Arnie back to reality is to destroy Christine, But Arnie and Christine are ready to destroy them first and any one else who gets in their way.
What does everyone think of this?
John Carpenters most underrated film, a great film, and one of the best killer car films out there. Another stellar Stephen King book turned film.

It's been a while so I'm in need of a rewatch, though I definitely remember enjoying it.

To give an idea of how long ago it's been since I've seen this, I never marked the kills for it. This was done before I started doing that.

excellent soundtrack and greta performances, especially a small role by Roberts Blossom (Deranged). Harry Dean Stanton is also a great addition. I love the car and idea of it taking someone over.

One of Carpenters best and most underrated. A great film and one of the best King adaptions ever.

Yea I wish Carpenter had done more King adaptions, this was way better than any of the Mick Garris abominations.

Sleepwalkers was pretty good, it was mainly just the made-for-TV versions that were made which pretty much sucked for the Garris/King series.

Regretfully I haven't seen all of this, just snippets here and there. I managed to catch like the last 25 minutes. And some kill scene.
