Review of Phantom Racer (2009) by Anthony R — 02 May 2010
Two rival racecar drivers, JJ & Cutter, have a collision resulting in the death of one of them. Years later and crash survivor JJ is working as a truck driver, delivering a car for a racing team. He manages to get run off the road and stops in a nearby town for repairs. And what do you know, it's only his hometown, and on the day that Cutters brother has just rebuilt Cutters old car.
If that sounds really hokey, then you are really not gonna like this because, oh no, JJ has cut his hand & bled onto the bonnet which absorbes the blood...hey presto! Possessed car.
The death scenes are ok, but nothing special and most are just daft, a prime example being decapitation by electric window.
Another brilliant moment of stupidity is whilst being chased by the possessed car one of the charcters voices their surprise at there being nobody in the car despite the fact there was no way they would've been able to see inside due to its tinted windows.
The thing is, despite how poor a movie this is, it isn't entirely unwatchable.
If it's on TV and you've got nothing better to do and you've got some beers handy, then this is worth a watch.
Although I don't think anyone is going to want to see it for a second time.
