5.0 out of 5 stars Best B Horror/Monster Movie ever
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The 5 star rating is for the B Movie that it is. It didn't win any Oscars, and didn't expect to. It's a low budget horror flick that doesn't pander or have gratuitous anything (even the violence is (mostly) implied. But it takes itself seriously, has some great writing and sub plots (without getting bogged down in them) and a great bad guy (the car). I've seen this movie 5 times or more since I was a kid, and have watched it with my own (when they were old enough) as well. To me, if you want a great B horror movie that isn't embarrassing to watch with your 10+ year olds, this is it.

This is one of my favorite movies. I know it is a horror movie but it’s not gory. It makes your heart race and peaks your interest and stirs your imagination.
5.0 out of 5 stars Didn’t get as ordered. Great copy though!
I love The Car 1977 and this is a great blu-ray of it. Unfortunately I did order the multiformat, but I only received the Blu-ray version. They did a great restoration on the old film. Colors and sound are wonderful. No scratches to be seen.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Thrilling Ride of Terror
If you're in the mood for a classic thriller that will keep you at the edge of your seat, "The Car" from 1977 is a must-watch. I remember being completely terrified when I first saw it—it was one of the first thriller/horror films I ever watched, and it left a lasting impression.The plot is simple yet incredibly effective: a mysterious, driverless car starts wreaking havoc in a small desert town, and the local sheriff, played by James Brolin, has to figure out how to stop it. The suspense builds steadily as the car takes out anyone in its path with ruthless efficiency. The eerie, almost supernatural presence of the car is what makes this movie so gripping.The special effects and car chases are impressive for the time and add to the relentless pace of the film. The sound design is particularly memorable, with the car's roaring engine becoming a terrifying character in its own right.What makes "The Car" stand out is its ability to create an atmosphere of dread and suspense without relying on gore like the horror films of today. The tension is palpable, and the sense of helplessness as the townspeople try to combat this unstoppable force is incredibly effective. Yes, it's dated but it delivers."The Car" is a thrilling ride that delivers chills and excitement in equal measure. If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for a treat—just be prepared to be at the edge of your seat, as I was, from start to finish!
5.0 out of 5 stars You should watch this.
A very, very underrated killer car movie. Out a few years before Stephen King's "Christine".
5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites
This is a great all time movie. My favorite all time go to.

Good movie
5.0 out of 5 stars A charming and fun drive-in movie the likes of which they don't make anymore!
I love this 1977 B-movie action/horror, it is a textbook example of how a good director… Cat Ballou’s Elliot Silverstein… can take even a ridiculous premise and turn it into a solidly entertaining flick. And The Car is exactly that. The plot is simple, a demonic looking black sedan comes thundering out of the desert one morning and heads into the small rural desert town of Santa Ynez and begins to mow down innocents like a hitchhiker and two young bicycle riders. While the Thomas County Sheriff’s office, including Captain…soon to be sheriff thanks to The Car…Wade Parent (James Brolin and an awesome 70s mustache), think there is a psycho on the loose, we already know something supernatural is afoot from the red tinted POV shots from within the vehicle and the mysterious wind that blows through right before it’s thunderous engines and blaring horn can be heard. Despite road blocks, the vehicle appears and disappears at will and Wade and his deputies start to realize something is satanically wrong here when the vehicle tries to run down a group of school children and is stopped when they flee into the hallowed ground of a cemetery and Wade himself confirms eye witness accounts that the vehicle has no driver. But something evil is inside as indicated by the gleeful sounding horn after a kill and the fact that single dad Wade’s pretty school teacher girlfriend (Kathleen Lloyd) finds out the hard way that calling the ‘driver’ a “chicken s***” is a bad idea. Now with the body count mounting and all signs pointing to the fact that Old Scratch himself might be out for a joyride, Wade and his rapidly diminishing police force must find a way to stop Satan’s Sedan before Santa Ynez becomes a ghost town.As with our previous Tomb Of Nostalgia… The Devil’s Rain… The Car is another film that employed Satanist Anton LaVey as a technical advisor and even opens with a quote from him. Not sure what he advised as there really is very little religious talk in the film and even when they start to believe something evil is going on, a priest is never even mentioned much less consulted. Who cares, as Silverstein takes this laughable idea and makes a really fun and suspenseful action/horror flick that actually has some goose bump inducing moments such as when The Car has the kids trapped in the cemetery and when Wade has an encounter with it in his own garage. Silverstein accomplishes this by taking his subject totally seriously and not only instilling his villain with a good deal of menace, but delivers some really intense chase and action sequences including a very thrilling climax where all Hell literally breaks loose. Obviously the 70s nostalgia adds a lot of fun to it too, but this is actually a well directed film and we enjoy it far more then we expect from a movie about a demon driven car. Another thing that adds to the effectiveness is that The Car appears in sleepy Santa Ynez for no reason, nor do we ever get one. It’s very spooky and random and that works far better than a hokey explanation and it gives The Car added personality to what Silverstein already imbues it with.The cast, also starring Ronny Cox, R.G. Armstrong and Kyle and Kim Richards as Wade’s precocious daughters, take their roles very seriously with Brolin making a very human and sometimes fallible hero. He and Lloyd really do come across as a cute couple, too. The film was criticized for it’s acting back in the day, but personally, I think they are just fine for being in a flick about a demon possessed car. And speaking of which… the real star is George Barris’ customized 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III and it’s an iconic movie vehicle and is very intimidating and effective. If Beezelbub had a car, I have no problem believing this is what it would look like. Leonard Rosenman’s score is appropriately spooky and incorporates bits of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique…the piece that open’s The Shining and Gerald Hirschfeld’s cinematography makes nice use of the desert locations. Despite being filmed mostly in the day, it has plenty of creepy atmosphere.All in all, The Car is a really fun B-movie blast with a well deserved cult following and a favorite guilty pleasure of mine that I actually saw at The Park Lane theater in Palisades Park in 1977 when I was a kid…and it delightfully holds up all these years later! A fun action/ horror of the type they don’t make anymore!
great

Awesome movie
This is a great movie. The car itself looks amazing, almost CGI but obviously it couldn't be as its a 1977 movie. It's just a really unearthly looking car. Great stunts and effects and thoroughly enjoyable.Please give the 2019 remake a miss though as it will surely disappoint. It is probably one of the most offensive, poor taste and embarrassingly awful remakes in the history of remakes.
leggendario
il suono assordante del clacson, il vento che si alza ad annunciarne l' arrivo, l'assoluto disprezzo per ma vita, e una sagoma nera impressionante. Un film culto.
DE LAS MEJORES PELICULAS DE TERROR!!!!!
La calidad de imagen muy buena.El sonido , magnífico.Y la presentación muy digna, aunque bien se lo podrían haber currado un poco más y editar un libro con información sobre la película.También noté en falta unos extras en el disco porque ni el tráiler trae.Pero en fin, en general un le doy un notable.En cuanto al servicio de Bolo, muy serios y profesionales. El paquete tardó exactamente lo que me prometieron y llegó en muy buenas condiciones, no como uno que pedí a EL CORTE INGLÉS y me llegó deteriorado por estar mal embalado. Bien por Bolo.
Quel plaisir de voir ce film en DVD !
Quel plaisir de retrouver ce film à l'histoire originale et passionnante !Servis par de très bons acteurs, ce film accroche avec ces multiples rebondissements. Ce fameux son de klaxon est inoubliable !La qualité de l'image est très bonne ainsi que la qualité du son pour un film fin des années 70. J'ai regretté l'absence totale de bonus ! Les coulisses du tournage pourrait apprendre beaucoup... comme la transformation d'une Lincoln Continental Mark III 1971 pour en faire cette voiture diabolique, les cascades, les prises de vue, etc.En résumé un excellent film de très bonne qualité DVD !
