Until I start my trademark "Isn't It Funny" series again, let's delve into the movie industry shall we? I particularly enjoy an awesome horror movie, action and adventure, but my main movie attraction is comedy...I love a good laugh. I recently saw The Car and it was amazing what they could do back then everything now seems so commonplace. Yeah, there's the occassional exciting scene during a new movie trailer but when you think about it it's all been done before, it's just being used in a different face.
Studios rely too heavily on revolutionizing special effects and what have you and not revolutionizing the movie. It's not the special effects that make the movie, it's the movie that makes the special effects and if you believe differently; ask yourself this question: Out of all the current movies that rely heavily on special effects, how many of those movies have gone on to be sequel-consideration successful, and out of them all how many of them weren't bashed upon for the very aspect of heavily used effects?
My idea would surround itself in the horror genre, when was the last time you saw a good horror flick about a possessed or otherwise pissed off automobile, or for that matter anything? My idea pays great homage to those such as The Car, Christine, Maximum Overdrive, hell even The Wraith. Around this age I can't think of too many cars that look scary or intimidating enough for the role (of course you could opt to modify the look of an already existing car) but the perfect fit now and tomorrow would be the current generation Viper SRT-10. Think about it, if you look at it from a certain angle it's scary-looking as all hell and it does look pretty pissed. Give it a modest modification here and there and you've got yourself a killer.
Use your imagination anyway it pleases you, but this idea would pay it's respect to The Car (i.e. gliding, fast-movement, fading away, etc.) Horror movies the way they are today are nothing more than subtle comedy movies of a different taste, everything is going under and no one is looking to fix it (if "fixing" is making it worse, then they're doing a fantastic job.) Someone needs to fix this or either let it crumble underneath and go about it that way. Whatever it calls for...someone has go to do it.
