Surprisingly layered for a film about a killer car. It can be read as an indictment of consumer society and car culture. It can be read as a sly subversion of nostalgia porn like GREASE and AMERICAN GRAFFITI. And it can be read as a blistering critique of toxic masculinity,…

Dork loves car. Car loves Dork. Future Baywatch babe loves dork. Car gets jealous. Greaser Bullies hate the Dork & the Car. Car gets even. Dork's best friend tries to help. All hell breaks loose. Carpenter's score is pitch-perfect. It creeps up on us at the right times…
Todd GainesOct 16, 2015'Christine' is a terrifying movie in its simplicity and its purity. It is what it is and nothing more. It is a movie about true love, about the fulfillment of true love, about meeting one's destiny, about becoming what one always was going to become, and knowing it,…

the characters felt like real people to me, the acting was super good i kinda wished the car talked but i liked how it communicated through music, why was it kinda hot though?
Tiger Z likedChristineNice watch, it was a real interesting movie/story. There were also some cool scenes in here but the movie did feel mega outdated. I like the better than the thing. It wasn’t lacking a whole bunch and I liked how it was psychotic and could get real intense. Kinda slept on 7-7.5/10
Whimsy is "meh" onChristineHonestly, it was a great movie to watch and laugh at. I just couldn’t get over the female lead. I get the movie is from the 80s, but all she did was gasp, moan, and say breathy lines. It was PAINFUL! If you’re just looking for a movie to laugh and cringe at, pick this movie 100%.

I was kindof skeptical on this movie because I wasn’t sure how they would pull off the concept without it seeming ridiculous, then I saw the words John Carpenter appear on screen. Nuff said. This movie is fantastic. Acting, characters, practical effects, soundtrack, chef’s kiss
Matt Ortiz lovedChristineI was skeptical before watching this King/Carpenter film but let me be the first to say, this is one hell of a horror film! It is genuinely chilling and the low hum of the motor being ever present causes an inescapable dread. This might be a new Halloween season go to!
kait lovedChristinei ended up watching this movie one night at my dad's house because it just so happened to be on tv, and i loved it so much! when i went to the local festival in my town a few months ago, they had a car show and the car from this movie was there!! i got so excited 😭

I love this movie, I loved it so much I named my first car Christine. Now we are all probably wondering why I named my car after one that tries to kill it’s owners. Idk I’m stupid and the car did try to kill me, anyways rlly good cinematic and great watch!
Vix Skeling lovedChristineI thought I wouldn’t like it at first because I’m not a huge car person but, I came to love it! It’s actually pretty good, not that scary or anything but I liked the story! Also Arnie is my favorite character cause he’s hot-
Colson110 is "meh" onChristinePretty disappointed in this after watching the fog I was at least expecting this to be another visually stunning movie from Carpenter, but overall this falls super flat for me both narratively and cinematically.

Metacritic
Christine is, of course, utterly ridiculous. But I enjoyed it anyway. The movies have a love affair with cars, and at some dumb elemental level we enjoy seeing chases and crashes. In fact, under the right circumstances there is nothing quite so exhilarating as seeing a car crushed, and one of the best scenes in Christine is the one where the car forces itself into an alley that's too narrow for it.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The early parts of the film are engaging and well acted, creating a believable high school atmosphere. Unfortunately, the later part of the film is slow in developing, and it unfolds in predictable ways. The special effects are good, the performances are nicely deadpan, and the score is clever. But Christine herself is something of a bust.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
Adapted from the Stephen King killer car novel, this John Carpenter film is more like an assembly line vehicle than a customised job, but is nevertheless a slick, entertaining piece of work.
