On a snowy night, Scott (Shane Johnson), CJ (Josh Hammond), and Robbie (Jason Dohring) cross into Wisconsin so that they can have a good time at a notorious roadhouse.  After CJ starts a fight that gets them kicked out, the three of them start to drive back to Minnesota.  They stop to pick up a deputy sheriff, Charlie (Randy Quaid), whose squad car has broken down.  Charlie assures the young men that he’s off-duty and asks them a lot of questions about what they’ve been doing during the night.  When a mysterious 1957 black Cadillac pulls up and challenges the Scott to a drag race, Charlie tells Scott to “go for it!”

It turns out that the Cadillac is interested in more than just a race.  It tries to force Scott into crashing his car and, even after Scott seems to escape from the car, it keeps showing up wherever the friends are driving.  Why is the other driver after them and how is Charlie involved?

Not a bad film.  The black Cadillac and its driver are great villains that seems to be able to transport anywhere.  No matter what the three young men do, they can’t escape from or even slow down the Cadillac’s pursuit.  The three friends are all likable, even if the movie does get bogged down with all of their secrets.  Randy Quaid shows  why, before he apparently lost his mind and started talking about star whackers, he was one of the busiest character actors around.  Black Cadillac is a good mix of horror and car chases.
