Christine
How do you kill something that can't possibly be alive?
Directed by John Carpenter
Produced by Columbia Pictures, Polar Film
A darkly playful supernatural thriller about obsession and possession, where a vintage car becomes a jealous, vindictive entity that corrupts its owner and destroys those around him.
Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.
