Christine: Directed by John Carpenter. With Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky. A nerdish boy buys a strange car with an evil mind of its own and his nature starts to change to reflect it.

“Ah, do I remember the day that I saw Christine, which is disturbing since I was only 6 years old, but my sister said u0026quot;Do you wanna watch Christine?u0026quot; and I was confused, my name is Kristine, but she told me about this little horror movie and thanks to her I couldnu0026#39;t go near our family car for a few months. This is a movie that has always stayed with me and still scares the heck out of me when I watch it in the dark. Who knew that even before taking a driveru0026#39;s ed class that cars could scare me? But this isnu0026#39;t just any ordinary car, this is a killer car! This is a car with ghosts in it and you wouldnu0026#39;t like them if you make them angry or try to take their owner away. Christine is the car that you definitely donu0026#39;t wanna mess with, otherwise you may have to face those bright lights and loud rock and roll music, what happens next, you may not wanna know.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eArnie Cunningham, a typical high school nerd with only one friend, a childhood companion named Dennis Guilder, a popular jock. Arnieu0026#39;s life begins to change when he discovers Christine, a red 1958 Plymouth Fury in serious need of repair. Arnie begins to restore Christine to her original beauty, but as he spends more and more of his time repairing her, those in his life notice that he is changing as well. Formerly shy, Arnie develops a cocky arrogance. Dennis, as well as Arnieu0026#39;s new girlfriend Leigh, discover that the car has a deadly past. The previous owner, Roland LeBay, became consumed with Christine and he paid for it with his life. Leigh and Dennis try to save Arnie from a similar fate. They realize that the only way to save Arnie is by destroying Christine. Christine, however, isnu0026#39;t ready to give up Arnie without a fight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChristine is a classic horror movie that for me will always deliver on the good scares. I still have a hard time watching it. I think the scariest scene for me will always be the last scene where Leigh and Dennis face off with Christine and you see that Arnie just completely gone. Iu0026#39;m honestly shocked that Keith Gordon didnu0026#39;t continue on with his acting career, he just blew me away as Arnie, reading the book I couldnu0026#39;t picture anybody else. Heu0026#39;s absolutely incredible. John Stockwell also pulls in a good solid performance as well. This is one of the rare horror movies that is over all very enjoyable and if it doesnu0026#39;t scare you, I still think you will like it, it has a great story and a very good cast and crew. I highly recommend that you see this movie if you get the chance, itu0026#39;s a classic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8/10”
