Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"Jaws" ripoff or not, "The Car" succeeds at making a vehicle just as threatening as any psychopath or killer shark. It's no "Duel," to be sure, but it's pretty solid all the same.

Rating: 1/5 --
The performances are terrible -- thin and overwrought in the manner of actors trying to improvise without an idea in their heads.
New York Times
Interminably drawn out, with some good special effects but its characters hauled straight out of the cracker-barrel, it has nowhere near the same minatory charge as Spielberg's Duel.
Time Out
Rating: 2/4 --
The film eventually grows tedious, and the climactic showdown is truly awful.

silly horror classic
Shadows on the Wall
It's hard to believe that Elliot Silverstein directed Cat Ballou or A Man Called Horse because in this picture he didn't even direct traffic.

...with a script this silly, it's hard to maintain any sense of horror or suspense.

Product Description:
James Brolin stars as Sheriff Wade Parent, a man who must stop a large, black 2-door sedan from terrorizing a small New Mexican town. No one knows the car's origin, who is driving it, or how to stop it. After it kills three people, the Sheriff must find a way to stop this seemingly indestructible machine. Who is behind the wheel' Could it be...Satan' That may be the case given that late Church of Satan leader Anton LaVey was given a 'Technical Advisor' credit on the film! Though it was greeted by a chorus of jeers when it surfaced in 1977, THE CAR is an oddly gripping and altogether unconventional horror film. From the director of A MAN CALLED HORSE and a script co-written by Michael Butler, writer of PALE RIDER.
