Yes, I've seen it albeit many, many years ago. It was quite a nailbiter in it's time. I believe it was a made-for-TV movie so it was spoiled by commercials constantly but it was still a good story. it was compared to Steven Spielberg's " Duel" (with Dennis Weaver) however, the only similarity is the fact that a vehicle is going around trying to kill someone. Duel was an actual movie therefore no commercials (unless you watched it on TV).
The other difference is that "Death Car" has more people involved in the story whereas "Duel" has only a few.
They are both good movies in their own right and I would recommend them both especially if you're a film buff/historian.
If I had to pick only one to take on a desert island with me though, I would choose "Duel".....it's more tense and menacing. Spielberg knew what he was doing.

Duel (1971) With its original runtime of 74 minutes, the TV movie was not long enough to be released in theaters. Universal called Steven Spielberg back to shoot additional scenes in order to make it a 90-minute film. These new scenes were the railroad crossing, the school bus, the scene where David phones his wife and the opening scene where the car backs out of the garage and drives through the city. www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/trivia?item=tr2368529 |
