Arnie Cunningham, a nerdy and bullied teenager becomes obsessed with a decrepit 1958 Plymouth Fury, whose previous owner died mysteriously. The car, which seems to have a mind of its own, begins to affect Arnie's personality. John Carpenter's creepy and entertaining horror movie is based on Stephen King's novel. It tells an original story and it features well-drawn characters and superb visuals. The practical special effects look amazing to this day.
