Well, given the premise of the movie and the synopsis, I must admit that my expectations to "Phantom Racer" weren't exactly sky high. I assumed that I would be in for something in the likes of the 1983 movie "Christine", the 1971 "Duel", the 1977 "The Car", the 1980 "The Hearse", the 2007 "Death Proof" movie, or a movie in that ilk.
And that was exactly what "Phantom Racer" turned out to be. So if you enjoy a good old fashioned thriller/horror movie with a possessed vehicle, then "Phantom Racer" might be something for you.
Sure, the storyline in the movie is fairly out there, I mean, a possessed vehicle with a returned ghost at the steering wheel, well, it is pretty far fetched. But hey, it actually made for adequate entertainment.
The movie actually had a decent enough cast ensemble, for a movie such as this. With the likes of Greg Evigan and Nicole Eggert at the helm of the cast list.
Visually then the movie wasn't actually all that bad, and the effects definitely served their purpose well enough. So that worked well in favor of the movie.
I found that "Phantom Racer" proved to be adequately entertaining for what it turned out to be. Was it a cinematic masterpiece? Not even close. But the movie provided me with sufficient entertainment for a single viewing, However, this wasn't an outstanding movie or particularly memorable movie, unless you like racing cars I suppose.
My rating of the 2009 movie "Phantom Racer" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
