**_The Dukes of Hazzard meets The Exorcist with José Ferrer and Sue Lyon_** A young woman (Lyon) innocently purchases a mysterious idol-trinket that remarkably helps her in dealing with her bitter crippled husband (Ferrer), specifically in the form of a possessed black Camaro. John Ericson plays the concerned doctor and Leslie Parrish her nurse. John Carradine has a negligible role. “Crash!” (1976) is the second movie by ‘B’ filmmaker Charles Band (and arguably his first). It’s basically a less competent (and more obscure) version of “The Car” and technically beat that one to release. Both would inspire the superior “Christine” and all were likely influenced by “Killdozer.” While I’m giving this mid-70’s oddity a relatively low grade due to non-sensical storytelling, questionable filmmaking, lousy acting (particularly Ericson) and totally unconvincing vehicle explosions, it has its highlights for those interested. For instance, the red-eyed ‘possession’ scenes are well done and very creepy. So, yeah, it’s a bad movie, but it has its points of interest and is strangely compelling despite its glaring flaws. Lyon is best known as the alluring teen in “Lolita” and “The Night of the Iguana.” Here, she was 30 years-old during shooting and too thin IMHO. As for Parrish, you might remember her from her notable part in the Star Trek episode “Who Mourns of Adonais” from a decade prior. While my title blurb describes this as “The Dukes of Hazzard meets The Exorcist,” the Dukes of Hazzard wouldn’t even debut for another 2.5 years when this was initially released. So, motor-mayhem flicks from the mid-70’s, like “Eat My Dust,” would be more apt. The movie runs 1 hour, 28 minutes, and was shot in Fillmore, California (substituting for San Cecilia), which is roughly 45 miles northwest of Los Angeles. GRADE: C-/C
