    I always interpreted Arnie’s death in Christine to have been an accident. Arnie was aiming for Lea, but she dodged the attempt and Christine crashed through the office launching Arnie through the windshield. (I don’t think that model of Fury had seatbelts). This is further evidenced by Christine mournfully playing “I’ll forever love you”. I chalk Arnie’s death up to his own mistake.

    The idea is ridiculous but you can make it work like Christine, the scene where she repairs herself should have won an Oscar. Its the best one but the most fun one is Maximum Overdrive, cocaine does wonders, come on King, admit, you had fun doing it plus the trailer gave us Halloween 3 score although you should have added ACDC music instead. And you get the dumb ones like "With Friends Like These"....well at least you get one funny scene where the driver gets possessed and says, "Noo!" in a laughable way.

    It’s funny, my mom was just talking the other day about when she was little she had nightmares about a truck chasing her. We both live in Florida so the fear of getting hit by a car is pretty real. It’s pretty creepy how when you see a road of cars you cant really see the people inside them at all and that’s freaky to me. Although I’m surprised no one ever made a car horror movie about a mini van with automated doors that slice a kids hand off, have really tight seatbelts, and of course child safety locks. Just saying it’d be an interesting and relatable take that might stir some childhood memories.

    I would love to hear your thoughts on The Hitcher (1986). I know it's considered a thriller and not a horror movie, and I guess it would fit in the "stranger danger" category, but in a way, it can be seen as a twist on the "killer car" movies. "Killer on the road, but even closer than you think : on the passenger seat".

    Christine is a book and film I became attached to in High School, I never realized when I picked it up how many comparisons I would draw with my own situation of being bullied. For me it focuses on that heavily, showing how far a person will go if they get pushed too hard and belittled enough. Christine (and in the book the spirit of the owner) personify sheer rage, and as King put it Fury, Arnie becomes exposed to it and uses it like a drug, fueling him to kill everyone that has ever wronged him. For me Christine was a warning, in that as much pain as you feel from these people, it's entirely possible to walk over the edge of sanity and never come back.

Some great characters in it as well - one old guy tells a horn playing hitch hiker that if he makes any more noise he will 'shove it so far up your ass you'll be fartin' to music for a year' - or something similar. James Brolin as well , always class.

    Ryan: "All I know is, car go vroom vroom and suddenly I'm selling my organs to pay for the insurance." Me: "Ooh, look. A Datsun 120Y. I haven't seen one of those in forever." Okay, getting to the point, no, it wasn't about the inherent danger of driving a car. It was the fact that the car itself was a tool of harm. Think about it. A giant mass of metal, plastic, and rubber rolling about at speeds the fastest animals on Earth can't match. And there's someone who can direct that weight and power. Cars up until about the last decade have been symbols of freedom. The ability to go wherever you want whenever you want. And the killer car is some madman using that freedom to kill and maim.

    I just love how Carpenter turned Christine into a cautionary tale against nostalgia by having a 1980s kid becoming a 1950s toxic jerk and now our nostalgia for the 1980s is responsible for all those Carpenter remakes and maybe even the election of Trump.

This is one of those channels. I don't particularly like horror movies, nor do i watch many of them, but the way ryan makes his videos is so interesting and entertaining that i can somehow always enjoy watching film reviews of horror movies I've never seen, and don't particularly care to.

    Yes, I just actually read a collection of Richard Matheson's short stories and I was disappointed that time hasn't been kind to a lot of them. In the story, the protagonist's last name is "Mann" (like, Everyman) and the name inscribed on the truck is "Keller" which he reads as "Killer" - it's just so corny. The movie has definitely held up better. I would've liked to see the truck auditions.

    Thank you Ryan! SO MUCH! Oh, and Happy Father’s Day! As a car fan myself, this was a topic I was eagerly awaiting to see you to cover. Christine is one of the most underrated films of all time IMO (especially coming from John Carpenter’s filmography), so I’m so elated to see you give it the spotlight it deserves. Honestly, the end feels more symbolic. Christine is so obsessed with killing Leigh, that she doesn’t consider Arnie’s safety, and Christine even briefly mourns for him when he dies. Arnie dies for letting his flaws and first urges take so much control that his common sense goes out the window. Christine not having seatbelts didn’t help, of course. Oh yeah, and Duel. That’s one of my late granddad’s favorite films, so it deserves some spotlight, too.

    I think an element of the horror in these films also comes from our sublimated fear of the car accidents one encounters as a driver; the same thing that makes us rubber-neck accidents while simultaneously trying NOT to think about the danger we're putting ourselves in whenever we merge onto the freeway. We live a mostly comfortable life into which car accidents are, for many, their only real life experience of violent death and gore. The only context in which decapitations and so forth are anything other than theoretical. I'm surprised you didn't mention at least as an aside films like "Hereditary" and "Final Destination 2" that aren't killer car flicks as such but definitely derive key moments of onscreen terror from the situation of horrific car accidents. No supernaturally animate cars are involved, but the accident itself is what STICKS with you from both films.

You can feel the sense of Christine losing her loved one, as Arnie Feels her with his blood covered fingers.

    I believe the scene where Arnie gets ejected through the windshield of Christine was more his fault. Since he was driving instead of Christine trying to kill his girlfriend, and being a 1958 Plymouth made in a time when seat belts were an option/not being available at all. it was pretty dumb on his part.

    The reason Christine's film has such a bizarre ending is because it was changed by the movie. In the novel, Arnie actually does try to resist Christine's influence at the last moment, for which she kills him; this works really well with the established metaphor of Christine as a toxic relationship in mechanical form, because she immediately flips out and kills him for this one transgression. Although even there it comes out of nowhere after Arnie has been Christine's willing puppet for the whole story. In the movie, however, there's no real attempt to convey any sense of resistance, so it just comes out of nowhere, especially with the film-unique scene of Arnie stroking her bumper, making it clear that his love for her never wavered.
