“How do you kill something that can't possibly be alive?”

Horror

Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.

VIBE

This is a ride into escalating dread, where a classic car becomes a vessel for sinister will and possessive rage. It's a darkly playful yet unsettling journey into obsession and transformation, wrapped in a distinctly 80s horror aesthetic. The tension builds steadily, leading to a relentless, vengeful climax.
