Why it’s HorroRated

Christine works because Carpenter plays the whole thing completely straight. It's a love story gone very wrong, and Keith Gordon's transformation from meek to menacing is where the real horror lives. The scene of Christine regenerating herself while on fire is still one of the more visually striking images in 80s horror. Underrated Carpenter.
