Editorial Reviews

What starts as a night of celebration for three friends, quickly becomes the ultimate test of survival when their car breaks down on a frozen and deserted mountain road. The mystery grows further when they are joined by a local deputy sheriff and are stalked down the mountain by the ominous, probing headlights of a black Cadillac. It’s a terrifying race against man, machine and Mother Nature’s most feared elements. Based on a true story, when writer/director John Murlowski and two friends were on a late night road trip from Wisconsin to Minneapolis in a January of 1983.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good small budget movie, June 8, 2005

This review is from: Black Cadillac (DVD)

While not the best movie I've ever seen, this movie does what it sets out to do - draw the viewer in for some thriller action.

2 friends and a little brother have travelled to Wisconsin for an evening of booze and girls at a backwoods bar in the winter. After a barroom brawl a 1950s Cadillac menaces them and eventually persues them - but our 3 protagonists have no idea why.

Unlike some spoilsport reviewer on this page, I won't tell anything more so that you'll be surprised at the end.

Randy Quaid is the only actor you're likely to recognize but, in my mind, young, pez-consuming Josh Hammond steals the show.

4.0 out of 5 stars A true B thriller, January 13, 2007

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cold Pursuit..., April 10, 2009

This review is from: Black Cadillac (DVD)

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...
