I didn't see it in the theater. I was 10 when it came out. I remember a friend and I rented it from the video store for a sleepover and thought it was amazing. I've watched it multiple times throughout the years, and I still love it. Yeah, it's pretty low-budget looking and a bit on the campy side even, but it's still got some weird sort of charm to it.

Absolutely incredible!!!
Saw it in theaters when I was 12. All the adults thought it was stupid as hell. All the kids thought it was insanely cool!!
Watching it now for the first time in many years, and I still love it!!! -

I watched it as a teen and my friends and I thought it was incredible! Bad reviews or not, as a 13 year old, it was cool with a great sound track. I don't remember how it was recieved other than my friends and I.

I wasn't born yet. I guess it wasn't too memorable. My mother loves Stephen King, and she didn't even remember this film. I saw it when I was between the ages of 4-7, is best guess. But hadn't seen it since then. I asked my mother if she knows a film where vehicles come to life and kill people. She told me "Christine." But didn't know of any others. I just watched that yesterday.
I just found this film today when I searched for films about killer vehicles. I enjoyed it. I liked it more than
Christine
. Connie is what helped me find it. Because I remember a woman who complained a lot, who was always yelling for
"CURTIS!"
lol And how she screamed about being scrunched up in the car. I still remember my great grandmother saying, around that part, how Connie talks to much, and that she was sick of her. lol
So I enjoyed it. It seems like one of those films that you look about on as one of the old classics. Even though it was a flop at the time, and corny by modern standards, it's just one of those films most people have seen. Like
Wizard of Oz
in the 50s. It's seen as a big classic. But seems I recall reading, at the time of its release, it was not considered anything special -if it wasn't a total flop.
If you're gonna pretend to cut her hair, at least put some scissors in your hand!
