Following the massive success of HALLOWEEN in 1976, horror icon John Carpenter continued his assault on the hearts and minds of cinema lovers with a run of films including THE FOG, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, and THE THING. 1983 marked something of a return to form, as he turned his lens back towards the most terrifying thing of all - high school - with his adaptation of author Stephen King's novel, "CHRISTINE"

Unpopular nerd Arnie Cunningham buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine. Arnie develops an unhealthy obsession with the car, to the alarm of his jock friend, Dennis Guilder. After bully Buddy Repperton defaces Christine, the auto restores itself to perfect condition and begins killing off Buddy and his friends. Determined to stop the deaths, Dennis and Arnie's girlfriend, Leigh Cabot, decide to destroy Christine.With Keith Gordon, Harry Dean Stanton, John Stockwell, William Ostrander, Alexandra Paul.

"'Christine' is a perfectly enjoyable tale of the macabre, which can be read as a satirical parable of that particularly male kind of arrested development which manifests itself in car obsession." (Guardian)

"This is the kind of movie where you walk out with a silly grin, get in your car, and lay rubber halfway down the Eisenhower." (Roger Ebert)
