Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I find DVD for very cheap, it was so cheap, I not even going to tell you the price.I thought this would be really bad, it wasn't at all, it was decent movie. First twenty minutes of the movie was really entertaining and there few fights scenes in this movie, which I thought was really good. As the rest of the movie kind of dragged on little, there Friends are on a road trip.Who end up getting chased by some other person in the car, which make them fall out with each other.The rest of the movie is very predicable and the ending was so bad it was actually very funnyI thought acting was really good from the whole cast

Black Cadillac is about three young men driving around on an empty road having angered the patrons at the road house. Naturally when they're chased by an ominous black Cadillac they don't know what's going on. To add to their problems they run into a stranded cop who might not be who he seems.Naturally the film's quite spooky, although mostly we're watching these people drive while knowing what they know, which is nothing or at least very little.While this movie proves reasonably entertaining, it falls short of being anything special.

Tough Yale collegiate football star Scott(Shane Johnson), his naive, virginal 17 year old brother Robby(Jason Dohring)who idolizes him, and troublesome, wise-cracking school chum CJ(Josh Hammon)with a scar down his face, are taking a brief visit to Wisconsin to get laid and drink a few bears when a bar-fight at a roadhouse ensues. Scott saves the day, but the three must get out of dodge in a hurry, finding themselves on snowy dirt roads being chased by a psycho driving a black Cadillac. Picking up a Wisconsin town sheriff, Charlie(Randy Quaid)whose car broke down on the side of the road, they continue to receive endless threats by the Cadillac which is playing cat'n'mouse games with them. Soon, after stopping at a diner, a message regarding a sin one of them committed is painted to Scott's Saab windshield and the group realizes that the driver in the Cadillac might be targeting someone in particular. Scott, believing Charlie is the one aimed at, leaves him, but the Cadillac driver(..despite what he does to Charlie)continues to pursue them with the film following their efforts of evasion. Scott's car will suffer heavy damage along the way as the Cadillac driver will stop at nothing to cause great harm to them. The reasons behind the chase and the one truly being sought after will soon be revealed as Scott finds that his car's radiator is on the fritz and the cold, dark wintry Wisconsin woods offer no shelter of comfort whatsoever.Not a bad little low-budget chiller basically taking "Duel" and replacing the mad truck driver with someone behind the wheel of an ominous black Cadillac. The desert setting of "Duel" is replaced with the icy roads and frosty woods of Wisconsin. But, unlike films such as "Duel" or "Joy Ride", where the madman behind the wheel's face is never shown, we do get an opportunity to see who the culprit(s) are in this particular film. The film takes place almost completely at night, often inside the confines of the Saab car with the leads(..and Quaid for a little while before he "departs"). The flick is quite economical if you think about it, with a great deal of the film inside the car displaying the reactions of these frightened young men being pursued by a psychopath. The characters are your typical males preparing for their futures, finding themselves in a most dangerous situation, isolated into the backwoods and roads by someone with an ax to grind. The setting at night sure adds punch to this little film. Very reminiscent to films like "Dead End" and "Wind Chill", other nice little surprises concerning characters in a car haunted by things beyond their control. The ending(..why they are being chased and who the ones responsible are)isn't exactly fresh or original, but this is a nifty little ride until then. "Black Cadillac" ultimately, like other films of it's ilk, preys on the fears of many of us who worry about being caught in a place we are not familiar in circumstances spiraling beyond our control.

Black Cadillac starts late one night in the isolated Wisconsin forests as three high-school friends Scott (Shane Johnson) his younger brother Robbie (Jason Dohring) & CJ (Josh Hammond) barely make it out of a roadside bar after a big fight, they get into their car & speed off. As they try to put a few miles between the bar & themselves they notice a sinister black Cadillac speeding up behind them, the Cadillac tailgates them & becomes aggressive. As the three friends try to reach the safety of their homes the black Cadillac keeps on coming after them, the Cadillac seems to be forcing the friends deeper into the isolated wilderness but for what purpose exactly?Directed by John Murlowski a caption after the opening credits informs us the audience that Black Cadillac was 'based on a true story', looking at the IMDb 'Trivia' section for Black Cadillac it seems the director Murlowski bases this on events from his own experience when a car chased him for several miles through backwoods roads. Unfortunately that is about as interesting as Black Cadillac gets & I would hardly call Black Cadillac based on a true story from that slim incident. Anyway, the script by Will Aldis starts off well enough with a fairly intriguing premise but the film quickly descends into total repetitiveness & goes nowhere very quickly. The main problem I had with Black Cadillac is that it sets up a potentially good story but then ruins everything with a truly awful & contrived ending that destroys everything that has gone before it. For the majority of Black Cadillac it felt very similar to Dead End (2003) & for that reason I genuinely thought that it was going to end with some sort of twist, you something that turns all the events upside down but Black Cadillac has a terrible ending where everything that has happened comes down to someone having an affair with someone else's wife. Truly the most lacklustre & routine ending the makers could have come up with which contradicts some of the more supernatural & mysterious elements from earlier in the film. Overall the film is very slow going, the character's are quite well fleshed out but it all amounts to nothing & feels more like padding once the film finishes. I really did think Black Cadillac was building up-to something good, boy was I wrong.Director Murlowski does alright, the film is competent but little else. There's not much style here & disappointingly Black Cadillac has a lowly body count of two both of whom die at the very end. There's no gore so forget about that. Overall Black Cadillac is maybe more of a thriller than a horror, there certainly isn't much on show that I would specifically class as out and out horror. There are one or two effective scenes but they count for little when the ending comes around. There also a few scenes which stretch a largely serious films credibility, in particular a scene when the Cadillac literally runs into someone & pins then against a wall yet later on this person manages to walk just fine & seems unharmed.Technically the film is fine, it's not going to win any awards but it's competent. The acting is alright, in fact it's not too bad at all. Despite top billing in the credits Randy Quaid isn't in it that much.Black Cadillac felt like a Dead End rip-off all the way until the disappointingly mundane ending which is just about the most lacklustre & dull way the makers could have finished the film. So, a largely slow moving film which basically leads up to absolutely nothing.
