Sinopsis:

Arnie Cunningham, un joven que sufre acoso escolar, consigue el automóvil de sus sueños: un Plymouth Fury del 58. Arnie se obsesiona con el vehículo y este cobra vida propia y empieza a asesinar a quienes se interponen entre ellos.

Opinión:

Tengo opiniones encontradas con respecto a este clásico de John Carpenter basado en la novela homónima de Stephen King.

Los efectos especiales es quizás el aspecto mejor logrado de esta película, el auto en cuestión es una preciosidad, hasta yo babearía por un auto así, pero en vez de llamarlo Christine le pondría Robert Pattinson, pero bueno. Los personajes son una pereza total, el protagonista hace un buen trabajo, pero es desagradable y cae mal y los demás parecen que tuvieran depresión todo el tiempo. Por último la historia y ritmo es a mi juicio el punto más débil, la ejecución es débil y penosa, el ritmo es insufrible, los 110 minutos de duración se me hicieron eternos, pero bueno, logré quitarme la curiosidad, ya que desde hace años que quería ver esta película y nunca me había hecho el tiempo de hacerlo.

Tiene escenas muy buenas y vistosas, pero por si solas son fáciles de olvidar y la banda sonora no ayuda en lo absoluto.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This all starts with a predictable beginning. Judging by the atmosphere, the soundtrack and the presentation of the elements, I knew that everything would revolve around this car.

What I like in horror movies is when they simulate some things that could be real or if not, some events that could be real in a total parallel universe but still follow the rules of that distorted universe. In 'Christine', the majority of the scenes are from what could be part of our world, but there are also many inconsistencies about what is clearly not normal, rather possessed (that car). In fact, many deaths (or murders if you prefer) are simply not explained, not logical, not even possible. Until the end this movie reamins an impressive joke without anything looking like a true end. In addition to that I found that the general rhythm was very jerky.

And I keep this feeling and impression even if I have to underline the acting performances of Gordon and Stockwell. Some of their jokes are honestly funny. Their characters show some depth even if their core personalities and goals remain as shallow as they are stereotypical.

One of the major flaw of 'Christine' is its constantly mixed atmosphere. It's all about a high school and stupid teenagers, one of whom really wants a car. Events quickly get out of control and totally dangerous, but only one policeman takes a close interest in the case. Even the parents of the victims do not move an inch! In what crazy world are we evolving? This just doesn't make any sense at all.

So yes, this film has what could be called iconic and humorous scenes with incredible acting and a bold plot, but it all falls apart miserably in the end, with no consistency or even a sense that it served any purpose.… Expand

I enjoyed this eighties tale of Herbie gone psycho. The violence was a bit muted for my tastes but the idea and the execution are entertaining enough for it not to matter. It is not too slow even though not a huge amount happens. There isI enjoyed this eighties tale of Herbie gone psycho. The violence was a bit muted for my tastes but the idea and the execution are entertaining enough for it not to matter. It is not too slow even though not a huge amount happens. There is excitement in the form of lots of car action sequences but nothing too huge to handle. The petrol station blowing up was very cool. There wasn't much suspense. This is not an especially scary horror movie but it is a good film to watch with a beer to warm you up to something scarier. Entertaining but not as good as a less obviously hokum filled horror.… Expand
