I love Peter Weir's early work. The Cars That Ate Paris is a great example of forgotten Ozploitation, an Australian cult classic!

Hmmm... the story really stunk. And I like bad B cult/horror flicks, but this one was just awful. Skip it & see THE PLUMBER instead.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Cars That Ate Paris" !
