The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
If anything, this film is a cautionary tale for those who clamour for the driverless car. - 38
Chicago Tribune
A possessed-car film that beat Christine by a few years but is a much inferior version. [02 Feb 1993, p.3C] - 30
The Guardian
A demonic limo, driverless behind its tinted windows, vrooms around killing people in this squashy horror that fails to match other vehicular creepies like Christine and Duel. [24 Sep 1999, p.20] - 25
TV Guide Magazine
Good score, OK crash sequences, and lots of unintentional laughs are the only reasons to sit through this movie. - 25
The A.V. Club
It is, in short, sub-par as demon-possessed-car movies go, even if watching Brolin attempt to act horrified at the sight of a classic automobile makes it almost worthwhile. - 25
Chicago Reader
As silly as it sounds, but strangely dull. - 20
The New York Times
The performances are terrible—thin and overwrought in the manner of actors trying to improvise without an idea in their heads. - 20
Washington Post
There's no telling how many sounder, wittier scripts, including stories in the same genre, might have been overlooked or rejected in order to waste time and resources on this feeble in-house imitation.
