The Car1977
“Is it a phantom, a demon, or the devil himself?”
Directed by Elliot Silverstein
The premise
The Utah community of Santa Ynez is being terrorized by a mysterious black coupe that appears out of nowhere and begins running people down. After the car kills off the town sheriff, Captain Wade Parent is determined to stop the murderous driver.
Horror Vault's take
A sleek, driverless black car materializes in the sun-baked Utah desert and begins systematically hunting down the residents of a quiet small town. With local law enforcement overwhelmed and outmatched, one determined officer takes it upon himself to confront a threat that seems to defy every rational explanation. The film builds a creeping sense of dread around the question of what — or who — is truly behind the wheel, blending vehicular mayhem with an unsettling supernatural undercurrent.
