For horror movie fans there is possession movies like The Exorcist. And killer car movies like Duel. Well, in 1976 almost a decade before Stephen King's Christine would hit the silver screen, director Charles Band would give his own killer car film entitled Crash.
Crash was released on DVD, but in 2022 it's time for a Blu-ray release. Full Moon Features have released this film on Blu-ray from a new uncut remastered edition.
After a woman is nearly killed in a car accident, a doctor investigates the collision, which points toward revenge, destruction, and occult. After a woman is nearly killed in a car accident, a doctor investigates the collision, which points toward revenge, destruction, and occult.
José Ferrer and John Carradine are great and everyone else is very good in their roles, but the script seems to be a bit lite on plot and relies totally on car crashes and somehow it doesn't seem enough to carry this film to the next level of a great horror film. But for campy horror film fans this is going to be right up their alley.
Crash has been transferred in 1080p in aspect ratio 2.40:1 with two audio versions 2.0 and a 5.1. It it presented in a new remastered and uncut version. The film looks really impressive on Blu-ray. There is no signs of damage to the print. it is crisp and clear.
But a beautiful remaster version of the film is not all that is on this Blu-ray. Full Moon Features has added some very cool bonuses features to this Blu-ray. Take a look at what is included.
