cadillac black is a 2003 thriller film distributed by MTI Home Video, First Look International, and Artist View Entertainment. It stars Randy Quaid as Charlie Harmon, Shane Johnson as Scott, Josh Hammond as CJ, and Jason Dohring as Robbie. The writers are John Murlowski and Mark Aldis. The director is John Murlowski.

Three kids, Scott, CJ, and Robbie, stop at a Wisconsin roadhouse on their way back to Minnesota. They fight and leave the bar. Not long after, a black car, a Cadillac, starts following and stalking them. Sometime later, they pick up Deputy Sheriff Charlie Harmon, whose car had died on him. He thinks the black Caddy wants a drag race and challenges the boys’ car driver, Scott. Scott then, believing Charlie to be the reason the car is chasing them, throws him out of the car. Apparently, the deputy is shot dead. But the car continues to chase the children and apparently becomes more hostile. The boys begin to fear for their lives.

cadillac black is loosely based on a true story. But the word “vaguely” must be emphasized here. Director John Murlowski experienced an event similar to this. Usually when a movie is claimed to be based on a true story, that story usually has some historical significance and not just some ordeal that one of the directors witnessed. For example, the slasher icon Freddy Krueger was based on a Wes Craven school bully. In that sense, could it not be said that A nightmare on elm street was loosely based on something real? All works of fiction, whether movies or books, are based on truth in some way. Using that logic, couldn’t almost every story be considered “based on a true story”?

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, cadillac black it’s still a great movie. A black Cadillac stalks three young men on the back roads of rural Wisconsin. Having the story take place in the heart of a midwestern winter adds to the suspense. Like many Midwesterners, I dread having car trouble in the middle of nowhere on a winter night. It’s cold, the roads are icy and snowy, and it’s hard to see in the dark. It is usually a very unpleasant experience. These guys had a little extra heat (no pun intended) put on them by the black Caddy that was stalking them. Due to the constant advances of the hostile car, they were forced to put a lot of pressure on their car’s engine, which increases the chances of having problems later on, and they obviously can’t outrun the Cadillac on foot.

To wrap, cadillac black it’s a constant thrill ride from start to finish. It will keep viewers on the edge of their seats!
