9/10
Extremely refreshing
2 August 2005
Every now and again I'll switch onto a Sky Movies channel expecting to be presented with more over-hyped trash and teen-comedy garbage (even though I'm a sociable 18 year old myself I don't tend to go for that kind of film).

But alas, one day I read a listing on a Sky website about a film called 'Black Cadillac'. The synopsis seemed fairly intriguing but I still wasn't expecting much. Anyway, it came to 9pm and it started...one of the most exciting films I have ever witnessed. The plot is simply amazing and despite Rnady Quaid being the only real recognisable face (I recognised Josh Hammond because I saw him in Time Cop: The Berlin Decision) the acting is totally believable.

Apparently based on a true story the film begin with 3 teenagers (2 brothers and their friend) at a party in a bar out in the middle of the woods. The older brother is in his car with a young girl he's met whilst the other two are inside, the younger brother being shown just exactly what sex is and the other telling amusing fake stories about how he got the grisly scar on his face. They end up getting into a bar brawl in which they prevail (thanks to the older brother's intervention) and promptly leave. Driving along the dead woods in the middle of the night whilst it is snowing, they spot that they are being followed by a mysterious black Cadillac. It eventually drives ahead into the distance but re-appears again, then disappears then re-appears. The trio are quite confused. Then when they stop to pick a cop up who's car has broken down they seem to relax a little knowing they've got someone from the authorities riding with them. But the Cadillac continues to hound them, somewhat trying to race them down a 2-lane forest road. The cop reminds them he's off duty and encourages the driver (the older brother) to show the Cadillac what he's made of. They end up being ran off the road. They come to realise the Cadillac mean them harm. But why? Someone from the bar fight maybe? Who could it be? And what do they want? Buy this amazing film to find out, the twists and turns in the plot are amazing and will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The eeriness of the dark, snow-covered forest roads are what makes this film so exciting to watch. There is absolutely nobody around except for them, the cop and the Cadillac. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Take the time to see this film, you won't regret it.
