Critic Reviews
-
Variety Staff, Variety
This deja vu premise [from the novel by Stephen King] combined with the crazed vehicle format, makes Christine appear pretty shop-worn.
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Carpenter's thematic self-consciousness can't entirely overcome a shaky dramatic structure that sacrifices character logic to increasingly meaningless thrills.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This is the kind of movie where you walk out with a silly grin, get in your car, and lay rubber halfway down the Eisenhower.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Only a moderately engrossing film.
-
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Proves Carpenter's mastery of both mood and the widescreen frame.
