THE CAR-BLU RAY DISCUSSION THREAD
 

The Car Blu-ray

THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE, NO WAY TO STOP... THE CAR

Made when Jaws was still the most successful film of all time, The Car has almost exactly the same premise, but replaces the ocean with the Utah desert, and the shark with a Lincoln Continental Mark III of possibly supernatural origin.

When two teenage cyclists and a hitch-hiking musician are killed in apparently deliberate hit-and-runs, the police department of Santa Ynez investigates, whereupon the seemingly driverless vehicle turns on its hapless officers as well. And when the car strikes rather too close to the home of Captain Wade Parent (James Brolin), he vows to stop at nothing to defeat it.

Director Elliot Silverstein (Cat Ballou, A Man Called Horse) keeps everything as slick and streamlined as the car itself, turning the desert landscape into a powerfully mythic backdrop for a potent clash between the forces of good and those of inexplicable but clearly implacable evil.

Can't wait for this one myself. Saw it theatrically when it was double billed with Day of the Animals... Watched it ever since on its various home video incarnations and will be picking this up on Day One.

My fav of all the Arrow releases this time round. I love this film - it's a billion times better than Christine! I need a car that has that horn too.

A contender for Arrow's finest cover!

Hell yes!

Excellent news! I haven't seen this film for several years so it will be nice to revisit it on blu-ray.

Love this movie. Cover is kinda catoon-y but i will definitely get this one.

This looks fantastic!

Definitely buying

Glad to see there's a lot of love for this film. And that cover will certainly stand out.

I haven't seen this, but love the artwork - particularly that on the reverse – so will definitely buy it.
