NGcs Sometimes less is more...The lack of over-editing and great camera angles make Wheels Of Terror my 2nd favorite ghost car film. A very well-crafted one for a TV movie, that makes up for the bad acting with very stylish atmospheres and amazing camera work! They modified the Dodge Charger superbly into a truly sinister-looking car. Yes, it is at times boring but it does have some really good car chases that are really raw and lengthy in the vein of Bullitt (1968) or The Driver (1978). I enjoyed the collision scenes very much, they were realistic and very well edited, unlike many well-recognized titles such as Drive (2011). This isn't exactly for Fast & Furious fans, but for people who enjoy seeing car chases without 40 montages per minute. Definitely an underrated one.
NoDefeat This movie is a take off of "Duel", "Christine", "The Wraith" and any other movie featuring people being chased by vehicles. The over use of slow motion, the pathetic ending and all of the awful parts in between which make no sense (for instance, the car coming back when it finally lost the school bus and when the girl escaped from the car and got back to the bus when all the car driver had to do was brake or something to get away from the bus) and of course the mystery of the car driver (unless of course it was the car that killed and raped the schoolgirls :) ) make this film not worth seeing. Try any of the movies I mentioned above instead they would make for much better entertainment that this rubbish.
brigade-1 I loved "Wheels Of Terror" I saw it back in 1990 on television and then recently saw it for sale on ebay and bought a copy......I liked it but I think some of the movie is wasted on slow motion scenes...I would recommend this movie to anyone. Joanna Cassidy is awesome.....the drama and the plot seemed kinda corny before I watched it ya know how could the bus keep up with that fast dodge charger...everything is explained...I am writing a scrip for "Wheels Of Terror II Burn Rubber" which is my own creation I am going to try my hardest to make that movie a reality and maybe it would bring "Wheels Of Terror" back to television or even put it in theaters but I doubt it. I left a message for the sequel I am putting together on the message board.....please give me in put on it. Wheels Of Terror on a scale on 1-10...1 is bad 10 is good......I would give it a 7 it is a favorite of mine.
gridoon Pretty dull thriller. The director chooses an "arty" approach with lots of slow-motion sequences, "poetic" music and minimal dialogue, and it doesn't work. The characters have no personality, the script is virtually non-existent and the suspense is deflated by the fact that the "evil" car's driver (or the evil car itself) has plenty of opportunities to get away from the heroine who chases him, but keeps returning to do battle with her as if he has some scores to settle (we never find out what they might be). While you're watching this movie, don't be surprised if your mind starts going elsewhere, like into thinking what's for dinner or the next day's chores. (*1/2)
