Christine (1983): John Carpenter Adapts Stephen King
Description
Does John Carpenter's Christine live up to the horror fan hype?
From the novel by Stephen King, Christine is the story of a nerdy teen who decides to fix up a broken-down 1958 Plymouth Fury.
But instead of Arnie's flashy new ride, Christine becomes the engine of his revenge on the bullies who have taunted him.
With her powers of self-repair, she begins to slay those not kind to her newfound driver, Arnie.
The next film in my John Carpenter series, this episode explores this Carpenter fan favorite.
But did I agree with the many fans of the film or have to go against the tide of opinion?
Listen in as I discuss this cult classic movie and its lasting legacy.
Directed by John Carpenter. Starring Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, and Harry Dean Stanton.
