BLACK CADILLAC is sort of a mixture of DUEL, THE CAR, CHRISTINE, MACON COUNTY LINE, and JOY RIDE. This turns out to be a decent combination of elements. Three teenagers are out for a final night of drunken, debauched fun before entering the real world of college and work. Things go along just fine until a mysterious black Cadillac Eldorado begins following them. The terror mounts, even after the trio picks up a sheriff (Randy Quaid from ID4, Parents, and The Day The World Ended) in need of a ride. What does the unseen driver of the Caddy want? Why does he go to such insane lengths to mess with these kids? Watch and see! I got a kick out of BC. It's jam-packed w/ thrills, chills, and laughs! Great fun...

I loved this movie and wish there were even more stars to give it. This starts out as a typical B horror movie, but the acting and writing quickly skyrocket this movie up to classic cult status. It's both hilarious and gripping. By far, the best actor in the entire movie is Jason Dohring. He does a wonderful job of portraying a young man with just the right amount of brains and looks. Honestly, I watched this twice during the same weekend and I usually don't do that; but, this movie is well worth the time.

Ok, this wasn't the best movie and it wasn't the worst either. I was getting the feeling that the black cadillac was a paranormal vehicle until it was revieled that it wasn't. It did remind me of the movies Christine and Dead End but was a little different. I was also wondering through the whole movie where in WI this took place. I live here and was just curious. The movie was scarey and funny at times. I recommend this movie to someone that likes a thriller that is not gorey.

WARNING: possible spoilers ahead
Going by Black Cadillac, you'd think it was impossible to make a good scary road movie. But what about THE HITCHER? Or even more recent is the surprisingly effective DEAD END, which I've recommended highly on this site. It's definitely possible to make a good scary road thriller, but Black Cadillac is not one of them.
Randy Quaid is the only thing that saves this movie from being much more than a rotting pile of road kill. The story centers on three underage guys who make their way across the state line to get drunk and hopefully get laid. One of the trio is a smartass with a weird scar on his face who continually pops Pez candy through the whole movie. I love those quirky characters. Nothing screams B-level thriller like an intentionally quirky character.
Scarface Pez Eater gets into a fight at the bar, which causes our trio to go on the run before any of them can get lucky with the ladies. The local hicks chase them out into the parking lot and throw bottles at their car as our heroes make their escape.
Pretty soon, a mysterious black Cadillac starts following them. There are some decent chase scenes through the snow, with this demonic black Cadillac chasing our boys. Reminded me a little of Christine or even The Car. But after about twenty minutes of this cat and mouse routine, it starts to get a little boring. So, enter Randy Quaid as a stranded Law Dog.
Our boys pick up Randy, who instantly becomes the Mysterious Oracle in the Back Seat, spouting crude jokes and words of wisdom with equal enthusiasm. His presence in the car causes all the requisite dirty little secrets to come to the surface. We come to find out that all three of our boys have skeletons in their closet, things that they don't like to talk about. The big reveal is that one the boys slept with Randy Quaid's wife and ruined his marriage.
If you've seen Angel Heart, you'll probably be able to figure out that Sheriff Randy planned this whole evening as a really long, boring, drawn out way of getting his revenge against the pipsqueak who stole his woman. He could have just confronted the kid at the beginning of the movie and saved me 90 minutes of my life.
