Christine [DVD] [1983] [2005]

Thank you for this Pure Quality Stephen King movie 👌

This movie is still a masterpiece I enjoyed it as much as I did when it was first released

Absolutely brilliant horror dvd.

I watched this film as a Stephen King fan in 1983 and was hugely disappointed. I then revisited it a couple of years later, this time as a John Carpenter fan, and was again disappointed. I don't know what has happened since, but I caught it again a few years ago and was blown away and left wondering why I never rated it before. I don't know if it was my age then or my age now. It may even have been because I was trying to put it in a box with the writer or director's other work, but I have watched Christine now many, many times and it has become one of my favourites. There are a lot of themes being explored including desire and obsession and the whole film looks beautiful. It's definitely a notch above the usual straight forward horror/possession tales, and the scene where Christine is on flames is 10 out of 10.

I just Love this Film the story of an Old Plymouth from 1957 that is possesed. Red and Gleaming in Chrome fresh from the Factory Christine was Born ! .... Taking peoples lives, a bit like ' The Car' but in a more Dramatic way ... Where as the Car was made to look Sinister and Evil, Christine was a factory built car of the 1950s that just wanted some love and attention and had a Severe Possesive Jealous Streak !! and if anybody tried to defile her in any way , they were Toast !... Bought by a guy in the !970s Christine is ressurected after being neglected for a long time and not only Posses him ...(or tries to atleast) and becomes his obsession and it takes his friends alot of time to make him realise what Christine is doing to him.... in the meantime killing off or maiming anybody who get's in it's way ! ....(When some Big bully types decide to Vandalise Christine ....Her Revenge is Oh So Sweet !)The speacial effects are great for the time this film was made and the tension and pace of the film is also very well done , The Guy who bought the car and Restored (Ressurected her) to her former glory, had two friends who even try to kill Christine off with a dozer (Ok they succeed in the end ) but the Old girl didn't go down without a fight and all the time the radio played 150s rock & roll ! ....Sorry if this review seems a bit wakward and rusty but I saw the film a few months ago before bying it on DVD. But it is a /deffinate Classic ! ....I'd love the next version to be a 66 Corvette Stingray built in June That's it a 666 Sting ray ;-D

Perfect for my needs.

Love this film. Brilliant.

Whilst Christine is not the very best of the master's works- It is a very solid piece of filmmaking.It's never easy adapting a Stephen King novel into a mainstream movie, many have tried and failed.But you have to give John Carpenter credit here, the film 'feels' like a King novel, but of course with the added touch of Carpenter. There is a rock n' roll soundtrack and an original Halloweenesque score by Carpenter to boot.Of all the satanic car movies out there, actually there isn't that many, Christine is not as good as The Car. But Christine remains a very good film. Some may however find the movie a little dated, something I do not subscribe to.It's interesting seeing a typical King character go from being goofy to cool to downright weird and then being ultimately owned by the demonic Car.I did find the film a little choppy in places, which was surprising given that Carpenter was behind the lens. The New Year's Eve pick up being the stand out.The climax felt rushed, but all in all this is a good movie, with classic Carpenter scenes. Not his best work, mind.

The subtle use of lesser known automotive knowledge coupled with creepy music can have you on the edge of your seat over what seems to be nothing. For example the scene where Detective Junkins queries Arnie about the paint color on Christine after some repairs... "I really like this shade of red, Arnie, I didn't think they still made this anymore. Do they, do they still make this shade?" - It hints at just how supernatural Christine actually is, because if the color (or other parts are no longer made (and unobtainable) then how the hell did Arnie get that car back to 1958 showroom specs? Creepy and one of the top 10 (in my opinion) best car movies out there. It will have you on pins and needles while Buddy Reperton (William Ostrander) stabs Arnie's lunch and spills his yogurt, lol, classic cinema excellence! Worth the price of admission and worth watching over and over from time to time.

John Carpenter hizo una obra maestra al filmar Christine. 100% recomendable.

Reçu avant la date prévue et super bien emballer franchement rien à dire vendeur sérieux mon fils est super content il adore ce film

Columbia Pictures/Sony has been in trouble financially for a while nowThere Home Video/Studio is where they can make moneybut, they have chose to broker a strange deal to sell back catalog titles of there cult/horror filmsthrough a indie company (Twilight Times) the problem with this deal the Blu Ray's are a very limited number 5,000 sometimes lessThere site at times (mostly during Pre-Release of there most popular titles example Night of the Living Dead '90, The Blob (Re-Make)Fright Night) tend to crash a lotanyone who has bought anything from Twilight Times will agree it's like buying a big mac for $20.00 cause only they have the big macThere prices are super over priced and they tack on a extra $4.00 s&h you'll drop almost $35.00 u.s. dollars on a BR with no real exclusives most of the times they take previous extras from the dvd and port them over (with The Blob and second printing of Fright Night they actually put in the effort and gave the fans **real exclusive extras**But, Twilight Times is in no way anywhere close to a Scream Factory or Arrow Films in terms of a Legit Distributor that give a damn about that name sake....... I've dealt with them a handful of times each time i cross my fingers to get my item @ some point I see the company vanishing out of nowhere I don't trust them as a business at all (some movie fans/collector defend Twilight Times and praise them for there effort) They reallly are not in the business for the love of the films they distributor or the prices wouldn't be so crazyCase in point TT got the License to distributed Christine for the first time Ever on Blu Ray (I think it was limited to 3,000 pressed)When the item when on sale there site crashed several timesBut, a few days later you could find plenty of copies of Christine on Ebay for around $75.00 +It's odd how crocked sellers were able to get a hold of copies of this film with n/pThen jack-up the price for fans who actually wanted itwhich lead to a secrete sale for the die-hard fans that missed out on getting a copy(Once again I actually was able to get a copy in my cart when i hit check out the site crashed)Twilight Times is a shady sleazy company imowill i deal with them again probably cause I'm a sucker!The Good news finally Columbia did the right thing and released there own blu ray version of ChristineIf you have the special edition dvd of Christine you can either sell it, donate it, recycle it or give it away!This BR has all the extras the Special Edition dvd hasThis is the exact same BR twilight times was over charging the consumers double the price forIt looks really good i forgot it was from 1983 it really doesn't look that old in terms of the look of the filmIt has this odd retro look to itI only watched 1/2 of it just to see how the picture looked I'm very impressed by how good it looksover all I'm happy never thought I'd get this on BR without taking out a loan for a copy of it on Blu Ray......The Audio is awesomeDTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (I doubt you'll ever hear it sound this good) the S.E. Dvd's audio was pretty good years ago this blows it out of the water it's Flawless and sounds just right!!!! This is a great example why i love DTS Audio if it's decode the proper way with the proper film it's Theater Quality sound at home x5The film itselfIMO Christine is one of John Carpenter's most forgotten filmspeople know Christine as a Stephen King Film most fans forget Carpenter directed itVisual it's one of his best looking films next to The Fog (It has this strange timeless look to it)Seeing it in HD makes you appreciate what a great eye Carpenter has for directing scenes everything looks real and aliveIf you don't know the story of this film by now you are living under a rock Futurama did a episode doing a parody of itIt's a classic........................ Evil lives inside of the car and the evil slowly turns the driver a little mad and evil tooThe Cast is good:Keith Gordon as ArnieJohn Stockwell as Dennis, (Stockwell is a actor that should've been much bigger then he ended up the dude could really act not sure how he was never a top leading man in the 80's)Alexandra Paul as Leigh (This is one of Alexandra first major roles and she is a natural always enjoyed her in this film you can clearly see her becoming the next Jamie Lee Curtis as far as being a Scream Queen but, that never happened..... which is such a waste she would've worked watch her in this film and proof me wrong she steals every scene she is in! (I'm surprised Carpenter didn't try and use her again in another film)she is a super under rated attracted actress that can really act (Keep in mind I'm not talking about the time she put into Baywatch I'm sure that was a steady pay check I'd hope anyway)Robert Prosky as Will DarnellHarry Dean Stanton as Detective Rudolph Junkins (almost anything he does is usually gold in my book of memories)Roberts Blossom as George LeBay, (Great actor RIP 1924–2011)Kelly Preston as RoseanneThis is a all around great horror film/adaptation there was a lot of love, sweat,and tears put into this film you can tell by the final productThey don't make films like this anymore they make torture porn, bad re-makes and scat porn (pretending to be horror)This is iconic and classic there is a reason that 3,000 units crashed a site!Besides inside seller (wink wink)One of the best John Carpenter films to this day and a little under appreciated 9.7/10This is a must have for the simple fact if it sells enough maybe Sony will wake up and sell there other horror titles on there own for a fair price not some gimmicky limited edition that only screws the fans that love the filmHopefully Columbia/Sony does the right thing and goes into there back catalog re-release a proper color corrected Night of The Living Dead, The Blob and Fright Night Sony wants money flow put out your cult films your make money!But, what do i really know I'm just a american consumer..................

Tiene sólo un disco, pero ahí mismo contiene cuatro apartados de material extra. Además mencionar que la película viene con doblaje en español latino y castellano. En inglés 5.1 con subtítulos en español. El acabado del Steelbook es hermoso. Si eres un cinéfilo, amante de Carpenter y King, definitivamente debes adquirir este bluray.
