Verdict: A smart horror thriller
Story: Stephen King can always tell a great story and with this we get that. The idea is or was fresh when it came out a killer car was new to the over the top killer and a welcome addition. The story also tackles to ideas of not fitting in during high school and deals with bullying and being different. (9/10)
Actor Review: Keith Gordon – Arnie the young boy who gets bullied at school before buying an old car that turns him into everything he never stood for. Good performance but never really excels. (7/10)
