Sven- The Car (1977)

 

A large, black, driverless car begins randomly killing people.  It doesn't seem to be looking for anyone in particular.  It can get its feelings hurt if disrespected.  Finally the local constabulary figures out that they need to deal with with this car to stop the violence.  This involves a lot of dynamite in the canyon so the car cannot escape.  After a lot of car chases, it works!  A huge fiery explosion along with a demonic visage appears, but the car does not.  Except later, in Los Angeles, a large black car prowls the streets...

No explanation is given for anything in this movie.  The car just appears, it doesn't aim for anyone in particular, it is random violence.  Perhaps some kind of motive for it would have helped make me care more about the characters in the movie.  Thanos' father, James Brolin is good, but he is surrounded by a poor script.  The car looks amazing, though.  No surprise, it was made by car customizer genius, George Barris.  The town and state is never named, but parts of the movie were filmed in Utah.  The outside scenery is gorgeous.  But car chases are always boring to me.  And is anyone in LA actually gonna notice an evil car?

Next- The Ghoulies (this is gonna be a rough month for Sven watching, I'll tell you what)
