I will buy this car: briefly; Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham [Keith Gordon:] this nerdy individual decides to purchase is very rundown car a 1958 Plymouth Fury, restore it; her name is Christine, but strange things happen, but one good thing is that happens is, he gets with Leigh Cabot [Alexandra Paul:] she is the new, hot girl in school that is into studying.

Generally speaking: the framework is dates and sometimes places on screen, the pacing for this 110 minutes film is atrocious, it never really fills you full of confidence that this film for most parts is going to get up and going at best I can describe it as starts and stops; meaning when it gets going it doesn't last too long

Action and art; the biggest action sequence that this film has to offer has to be the petrol station sequence; in short Christine has chased down hard targets to this petrol station where she gets one target and leaves the petrol station whilst it is burning down, as she is on fire herself chasing down the other target; it is a very explosive sequence of events which has been excellently put together and shot as a sequence of events.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be really and from beginning to end they get performed out as such.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; the only major problem as I have already referenced is the pacing, it is so slow that it actually makes this film feel so much longer than what it is; it doesn't do anything wrong and don't get me wrong I am happy I have now seen this film and on top of that on the big screen at the cinema, but man this film is so slow. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner Video Software Dealers Association 1984 VSDA Award Most Popular Current Horror Movie and 3 Nominees which include but not limited to from the same award/but different event just a year later 1985 Most Popular Current Horror Movie
