Nerdy high-school kid Arnie gets bullied all the time at school. He finds comfort in a ´58 Plymouth, a red beauty called Christine. She´s rather dusty when he discovers her, but he buys her and fixes her up. His friend Dennis discovers that he is becoming obsessed with the car, and he also suspects that Christine might have a life of her own.
Horror-writer Stephen King teams up with horror-director John Carpenter, but the result feels that it could have been even better. But this is not bad, "Christine" mixes high-school life with horror elements in a nice sort of way. The scenes with Christine has lots of athmosphere, much thanks to the creepy music composed by John Carpenter himself.
The lead trio (Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul) works well, but these days no one has ever heard of them. Solid actors like Harry Dean Stanton and Robert Prosky supports them.
A nice and interesting horror-movie, which doesn´t really offers any scares.
3/5
