I'm a large fan of John Carpenter films, and his scores, and this movie is no exception. Even though it's totally different from the book I still like how he developed certain characters and I can see why he left out all the zombies from the novel as it would have made this movie well over 2 hours. The acting and transformation by Keith Gordon as Arnie Cunningham is my favourite part of the film and he does such a great job going from nerd to complete possessed psycho.
Another great thing about this movie is it has two soundtracks. There's the music from the 50's that Christine plays whenever her mood changes and then you have the score done by John Carpenter as well. I will admit that the score doesn't sound as great on CD, but I love what he did with it for the movie. Great atmosphere and I wouldn't call this a "horror" movie as it's more of a thriller and there really isn't any blood, except at the very end. Great movie overall and if they did remake this one I wouldn't mind seeing the zombie-Christine-victims in it, as it was in the novel.
