3 parts moody indoctrination thriller, 1 part Mad Max-esque car terror, Cars That Ate is Peter Weir's first film, and he hadn't developed the eerie atmosphere he would become known for (see Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Last Wave). While it could have done with slicing some deliberate dialogue and upping the brazen thrills, Cars That Ate is a sturdy Aussie cult classic.
