The Car

Made when Jaws was still the most successful film of all time, The Car has almost exactly the same premise, but replaces the ocean with the Utah desert, and the shark with a Lincoln Continental Mark III of possibly supernatural origin.When two teenage cyclists and a hitch-hiking musician are killed in apparently deliberate hit-and-runs, the police department of Santa Ynez investigates, whereupon the seemingly driverless vehicle turns on its hapless officers as well. And when the car strikes rather too close to the home of Captain Wade Parent (James Brolin), he vows to stop at nothing to defeat it.Director Elliot Silverstein (Cat Ballou, A Man Called Horse) keeps everything as slick and streamlined as the car itself, turning the desert landscape into a powerfully mythic backdrop for a potent clash between the forces of good and those of inexplicable but clearly implacable evil.Special Features:High Definition presentation (1080p), on Blu-ray for the first time in the world!Original uncompressed Stereo PCM audioOptional English SDH subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingAudio commentary with director Elliot Silverstein moderated by Calum WaddellMaking a Mechanical Monster: Special Effects Artist William Alridge Remembers The CarHitchhike the Hell: Actor John Rubinstein recalls becoming a victim of The CarIntroduction and trailer commentary by director and The Car fan John LandisOriginal TrailerEaster EggReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Joe Wilson
