Crash!
After a professor is crippled in a car accident, he blames his wife for the ordeal and attempts to have her killed using the same means. Now hospitalized with amnesia, she appears to be protected by a tiny voodoo trinket that she still clutches in her hand, which possesses her car and other objects, causing mayhem throughout the city.
Why it matters
A late-’70s genre mashup where supernatural voodoo possession crashes headlong into domestic thriller paranoia.
- Early Charles Band cult curiosity blending haunted-car mayhem with psychological suspense before his full plunge into horror schlock
- Sue Lyon’s haunted amnesiac performance anchors the eerie mix of vulnerability and escalating menace
- Practical effects and a possessed Camaro deliver a quirky, tangible creepiness that predates later car-centric horrors
- For fans of ’70s genre crossovers and offbeat cult curios, this one’s a weird footnote worth tracking down
