The Car

More killer-vehical movies, this time, it's a rather large black muscle car with chrome and a distinct lack of driver.

Plot: James Brolin (Deputy Sheriff) lives in a small, dusty town with his two young daughters and his girlfriend. Happy, settled and enjoying a life of handing out parking tickets, until one day...
the entire town becomes a target for a car that revs its engine and honks its horn repeatedly before an ensuing attack. You only need wait 6.30mins for the first murder and the action never stops.

There have been quite a few films of this ilk, the previous review being an example, though not a great one.
The Car is pretty well acted, the direction is good and some of the dialogue is laughable because it's funny, a change from many others of the genre.

Budget: $ ?

Gross: $ ?

The critics panned the film, but I can only assume it's because they failed to enjoy it for what it was, malevolence gone rife...in a Lincoln Continental Mark III.

Fun Fact: The car was designed by George Barris, the fella that built the original Batmobile in the 60's and the Munster coach.
