Wheels of Terror (1990)

REVIEWER RATING: 
4/10

 


I remember seeing this film with my mom a long time ago while it aired on television. I thought it was okay back then and viewing it now I noticed many of its faults. At first I didn't remember exactly if the car was evil or if someone was really driving the car -- pretty obvious which it was at this point.

The plot is about a mysterious black car thats been seen cruising around local schools with the intent on abducting little girls. A mom, who is also the school bus driver and whose daughter goes to the school, happens to catch on with what the black car is up to and after her daughter is taken away she goes on a high-speed chase with the car to get back her daughter.

I've wanted to check this flick for some time, but it was always so hard to get a hold of it for some reason. I read somewhere the around the time of the movie's release that the censors wanted it banned, but it was released anyway and became somewhat of a success in South Korea. I saw the other films that were similar-themed to this one and also considered to be sequels: Momento Mori and Wishing Stairs. I heard that the first was the "scariest" so I gave it a shot, and found it to be rather disappointing. The movie has an interesting story, but it's too slow and the scares were lacking.
