The Car is one of the many 70’s B-movie that came from major studios and tried to cash in on the success of a previous hit. Here we have the mix of Steven Spielberg’s truck-chasing thriller, Duel, and Steven Spielberg’s shark-chasing thriller, Jaws, both films made by Universal ...
The name Poelzig was borrowed from the architect Hans Pöelzig (who had worked on the sets of the 1920 silent horror film The Golem) and was one the people who Anton LaVey dedicatedThe Satanic Bibleto, because he "knew all the angles." And since we're on the subject of The Law of ...
