Christine The Movie
She was born in Detroit... on an automobile assembly line. But she is no ordinary automobile. She is a strange car with an evil mind of her own and when a nerdish boy buys her, his nature starts to change to reflect her.

Christine shows us what great filmmakers can do with flawed material, and how even their greatness can't solve every problem.

Slickly made dumb horror flick about a diabolical car and a nerd transformed into a lady killer.

Off the page, a 1958 Plymouth is no more scary than the St Bernard which romped through Cujo.

Tight editing and some decent scares make this one of the better King adaptations.

Only a moderately engrossing film.

Carpenter's thematic self-consciousness can't entirely overcome a shaky dramatic structure that sacrifices character logic to increasingly meaningless thrills.

I love Carpenter, and I like Christine well enough, but I'm not as enthusiastic about it as I am about other King films.

This is the kind of movie where you walk out with a silly grin, get in your car, and lay rubber halfway down the Eisenhower.

Proves Carpenter's mastery of both mood and the widescreen frame.

This deja vu premise [from the novel by Stephen King] combined with the crazed vehicle format, makes Christine appear pretty shop-worn.

Fifties fetishism here is not nostalgia but critique, the cultural residue that deforms consciousness
