4/5
Never thought a blaring air-horn could conjure such memories...
by Jake Kincaid (Intellectually Underrated Deep South, USA)
What can I say? In my perusal of horror flicks here on Amazon, I happened across this particular little bit of cinema and was taken aback: My subconscious childhood memories stirred with recognition of a black, evil-looking car and James Brolin on a motorcycle. Was this really the same movie?
Of COURSE it was...and I was delighted to see it on disc...I ordered it immediately (expedited shipping, of course) and gleefully watched it as soon as it arrived.
THE CAR and DOGS, running their courses through late-night double features throughout my childhood, are largely responsible for my love of horror films. It's in several ways what you expect from a low-budget, 70's horror film, but this one in particular had a little extra panache, some undefinable trait that makes you (or, upon viewing as an adult, made ME) recall it when you're driving alone on some deserted stretch of highway.
I believe this movie is very underrated, and that belief is strengthened by the following that it has. The acting is solid, with a good cast of known (or at least up and coming at the time) performers, the cinematography is excellent (I do agree with another reviewer: SEE IT IN WIDESCREEN), the music lends just the right amount of atmosphere without overpowering, and the overall feel of the film is just...well, it's spooky.
You can't beat the combination of an unexplained predator terrorizing a small, isolated town where the local law must circle the wagons and deal with it...especially when the predator is supernatural in origin, and the script cleverly weaves religious undertones into it's mystique, as well as a goodly amount of characterization for those challenged to combat the evil...all excellently acted and played out for us in a different but very relatable version of good vs. evil.
Whereas it may not be on anyone's top 50 greatest horror film list, I would highly recommend THE CAR to anyone who wants to have fun watching a movie, enjoy a good story, and have that little creepy feeling at the back of their neck.
5/5
Roscoe
by M. Lamb (PLAINFIELD,, IL United States)
I saw this movie a long time ago and thought it was scary than.
I enjoyed it even more now that it is not so dark on DVD as it is on VHS.
It is very clear and more enjoyable now that you can see everything crisp and clear.
If you have liked this movie in the past you will enjoy it better now.

The Car DVD
by Roland Hilaire (Louisburg, NC USA)
I remembered this classic and could not believe it was available on DVD!
The DVD and movie are excellent!

hell on wheels
by James R. Kincaid (north vernon, in. usa)
i loved this movie. it's one of those classic b movies we all used to watch when we were kids. it still gives me goosebumps when i watched it. a small town gets picked as a stop over for a car that likes to run over people. they try ot stop it but you can't, nothing can. the ending was off the hook, it keeps you locked in and won't let go. remember, if you see bright headlights, a loud roar of an engine and a honking horn coming at you, you can run but you can't escape hell on wheels. watch the movie the car, it will run you down.
5/5
ENJOYABLE
by Rebecca L. Polen
I LIKED THIS MOVIE AND GOT A FEW JUMPS JUST THINK AN EVIL CAR RUNNING AROUND.
The Car Summary
Fasten your seatbelts for the terrifying thrill ride that has become a cult classic - The Car! The peaceful tranquility of a small Western town is disturbed when a murderous car wreaks havoc by viciously mowing down innocent victims. New sheriff Wade Parent (James Brolin) may be the only one who can stop this menace in its tracks until he realizes that the driver of this indestructible vehicle is far more dangerous than any man it is driven by pure evil. With a digitally remastered picture The Car has never been more thrilling more chilling or more explosively entertaining!System Requirements:Running Time: 97 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR/CULT MOVIES Rating: PG UPC: 025195027571 Manufacturer No: 61103503
