Phantom Racer was a SyFy original that was released on the channel in November. If you missed the premiere, February 16th is your second chance to watch demon car trunks chew people in two. Sometimes people just cannot let go of a grudge. In the case of Phantom Racer Nascar driver McCullough will not let got of the stick-shift, or the the steering wheel, as he torments track rival JJ Sawyer (Greg Evigan), from the afterlife. The film has been described at Dreadcentral as "decent acting and the campy car kills are the only things keeping Phantom Racer from completely crashing and burning" (Dread). That sounds like two thumbs up from this side of the keyboard, but SyFy originals are known for their campiness and reliance on the viewer's suspension of reality, or good taste. Have a look at the trailer that shows one deadly encounter between an unknown character and a pair of razor blade windshield wipers.
The synopsis for Phantom Racer here:
"After a fiery crash on the track between NASCAR rivals Cutter McCullough and JJ Sawyer results in the death of McCullough, everyone thinks they have seen the last of the racecar driver - but nothing can stop a man driven by revenge. Seventeen years later, Cutler and his car emerge from the grave to settle some scores with JJ and an ex-girlfriend. Not letting anyone get in the way, a frantic race for survival is underway as the Phantom Racer goes out for blood and will not rest until old rivals are turned into road kill (Arrow)."
