Christine (1983) | 4K UHD Review | John Carpenter Horror Classic

In this video, I take a look at the French 4K UHD release of Christine, directed by John Carpenter and adapted from the novel by Stephen King.

One of Carpenter’s most sleek and entertaining studio-era films, Christine blends supernatural horror, teen tragedy, and pitch-black humour into a killer coming-of-age story — with a sentient 1958 Plymouth Fury at its blood-red heart.

I talk about the film itself, Carpenter’s direction and themes of obsession and identity, and how this French 4K presentation holds up in terms of picture quality, detail, grain, and overall presentation for collectors considering an import release.

🎬 About the Film

Christine (1983) follows awkward teenager Arnie Cunningham, whose life changes dramatically after he purchases a battered vintage car with a dark, murderous will of its own. As Christine is restored, Arnie’s personality fractures — confidence turning to cruelty, love into possession, and freedom into obsession.

Carpenter approaches the material with icy control and formal precision, elevating King’s pulp premise into a chilling study of masculinity, control, and toxic transformation — all underscored by one of the director’s most underrated scores.
