This wasn't one of John Carpenter's better movies. The script had some fun moments in it. I'm sure that this would have been a fun date night movie at the time for teenagers or twenty-year-olds but it just doesn't hold up. I understand that the premise is supposed to be goofy but it's also supposed to be scary at moments and I didn't feel any fear throughout. The whole story was pretty boring from beginning to end. Once again, I did like some of the high school hijinx that happened but that's it

What it has going for it is a whole lot of fun, which is boosted by enjoyable performances & lots of clever visuals, as well as some extremely clever work in creating the character of Christine- the radio, the lights, the manipulation of her owner, etc. But, it's far from flawless & has a number of issues, such as a very weak female lead who's often more like a prop than a character & a few odd plot points that could use more explaining. It's definitely worth a look, but is far from great.

Rebel Without a Cause meets Halloween. Clearly an assignment for Carpenter, who was desperate for work after The Thing flopped, but he created a visually compelling film with great widescreen compositions and dollies that are slick and keep this inherently silly story moving along with efficiently controlled rhythm. The acting is hit and miss, and the death scenes are rather tame, but the finale in a gloomy garage is quite intense, and the effects of Christine restoring herself are well done.

Evil car. That's a premise you don't see all the time. But Carpenter uses his skills quite well to make this movie into one of the better King adaptions. That soundtrack is *chef's kiss* MWAH!

Though the characters are all archetypes, lead actor Keith Gordon shows considerable range. What's most fascinating is the suspenseful approach it takes to the coming-of-age genre. Pacing sets the film back quite a bit, but certain twists in the plot keep it engaging. A King adaptation that could certainly use an update, but Carpenter's is worth the watch nevertheless.

Enjoyable, but uninspired by the standards of both Carpenter and King. The second half is quite good but the first drags.

Christine is a movie that in the beginning shows a lot of promise. That ride doesn't last long. Overall, this is too long and incredibly underwhelming. Not worth watching.

Shame on me for thinking this was second tier Carpenter. Christine may not have been the passion project that his other films were around this era, but it is an absolute showcase of the filmmaker’s talent. Gorgeous in its simplicity, the film manages to be scary even when the menace is nearly always visible.

Hardly ever suspenseful, and never scary, it's still a very fine film. It's especially good at the beginning and loses it more and more towards the end (to familiar a trajectory). The visual effects could not be done better even today.

John Carpenter takes on a King story with his own unique style in Christine. The film is well shot and scored. It may be a little bit too vulgar at times. Christine is still a fun, if not all that re-watchable, film in the King canon.

A good King adaptation but as a Carpenter movie doesn't rate quite as high for me. Decent enough though and had some really good bits. The car squeezing in for that first kill is better than the fiery part for me.

If you think a demon car isn't much of a premise for a movie, this is one that can prove you wrong. John Carpenter really milks every last drop of potential from Christine and fetishises every tiny detail of her in myriad close-ups. The editing of the kill scenes really is a masterclass in creating a great deal of suspense and excitement out of not much action at all. Carpenter also pulls a star turn out of Keith Gordon, the nerd-turned-greaser. Predictable story arc vs directorial expertise.
