The Car (1977)
Movie based on the an Urban legend of Route 666

Warning: Spoilers
***Contains Spoilers!!***

This movie about a black sedan that terrorizes a town by running over anybody it can. Is actually inspired by the legend of Route 666. The story goes, that a black sedan or truck sinisterly use to run vehicles off the road, and even play chicken with on suspecting drivers. Legend says this black vehicle is blamed for numerous deaths, and actually at one point in time; had a real Police A.P.B out on it.

If this is not enough to scare you, it is a very little known fact that Anton Levy the one time leader of the satanic church is listed in this movie's credits as an advisor!!

James Brolin gives a wonderful performance as Wade. The unfortunate sheriff faced with the problem of stopping something, that can't be stopped.

The Black car gives off a very sinister sounding air horn that just goes right through you.

I first saw this movie at age 8, on Late night T.V. I must say it gave me nightmares. Watching it now does still gives me a bit of a chill, knowing that out there some where in the Arizona desert, they may be a car just like this!!

I give it 7 out of 10.
