Black cadillac is a 2003 thriller film distributed by MTI Home Video, First Look International, and Artist View Entertainment. It stars Randy Quaid as Charlie Harmon, Shane Johnson as Scott, Josh Hammond as CJ, and Jason Dohring as Robbie. The writers are John Murlowski and Mark Aldis. The director is John Murlowski.
Three kids, Scott, CJ and Robbie, stop at a Wisconsin roadside pub on their way back to Minnesota. They fight and leave the bar. Soon after, a black car, a Cadillac, begins to follow and stalk them. Sometime later, they pick up Deputy Sheriff Charlie Harmon, whose car had died on him. He believes the black Caddy wants an endurance race and challenges the driver of the boys’ car, Scott. Later, Scott, believing that Charlie is the reason the car is chasing them, kicks him out of the car. The deputy was apparently shot and killed. But the car continues to chase the children and apparently grows more hostile. The boys begin to fear for their lives.
Black cadillac it is loosely based on a true story. But the word “loosely” should be emphasized here. Director John Murlowski experienced an event similar to this. Usually when a movie is said to be based on a true story, that story usually has some historical significance and not just evidence that one of the directors witnessed. For example, slasher icon Freddy Krueger was based on a bully from Wes Craven’s school. In that sense, can’t you say that A nightmare on Elm Street Was it loosely based on something real? All works of fiction, be they movies or books, are based somewhat on the truth. Using that logic, couldn’t almost all stories be considered “based on a true story”?
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Black cadillac it’s still a great movie. A black Cadillac stalks three young men on the back roads of rural Wisconsin. The fact that the story takes place in the heart of a Midwestern winter added to the suspense. As many natives of the Midwest do, I fear having a car trouble in the middle of nowhere on a winter night. It’s cold, the roads are icy and snowy, and it’s hard to see in the dark. It is generally a very unpleasant experience. These guys got a little extra heat (no pun intended) by the black Caddy stalking them. Due to the constant advances of the hostile car, they were forced to put a lot of pressure on the engine of their car, which increases the chances of having problems later and obviously they cannot outrun the Cadillac on foot.
Wrap, Black cadillac it’s a constant thrill ride from start to finish. It will keep viewers on the edge of their seats!
