this sounds like a fun flick on paper but it's fricking boring
too much plot and character shit with uninteresting characters
not enough funny shit with cars and lawnmowers and refrigerators rising up against humans
i love the first fifteen minutes where kids are getting run over by steamrollers and shit. when it gets to the diner and it turns into night of the living dead but with rednecks and trucks my attention goes right out the window.
you can't call this slop good. cable in the 90s used to have a TV guide with star ratings for movies. maximum overdrive has been a 2 star movie for like 40 years
I haven't watched the movie and don't even know the premise, it's probably shit tbh.
but that is a kino horror movie poster. whoever made that did a good job.
Wasn't this the movie Stephen King was totally cracked out on cocaine throughout the entire process. I think I read a quote on how he doesn't even remember filming it. Can anyone confirm?
LOL I'm not turned on by snuffing kids I'm more into the art of it.
>Wait, is that a steamroll-ACK!

Short story is kino when they see the military jets flying overhead at the end and realize they don't have pilots

King was thinking he is directing Birds but with technology. But Birds is exquisitely directed and sharply written while King is a fricking hack.
That's not Christine.
It’s the only movie he ever directed though. unless you’re also counting adaptions
There was a made for tv movie with the same plot called Trucks. Haven't watched it in years, but I liked it more than Maximum Overdrive.
Dl'd this a while back off YT. Been meaning to watch it.
Duel was better.
yup... also
one of walken's best
I'm leaving 'The Night flier' here.

>muh appeal to authority
A 2 star movie from 40 years ago is a 3 star compared to todays movies.
that's not how it works. you should be subtracting more stars from the shit modern movies, not retroactively pretending that old shit movies are good

ever
thats not tommyknockers
>The only good steven king movie
Is the one he hates.
Cause Kubrick saw Jack for the abusive alcoholic he was, whereas King was self-inserting and wanted him to be seen as sympathetic.
That’s not Silver Bullet
HE-YAH!
first half is fun but when they hide in the gas station with the trucks circling them it's boring
why can't the trucks just ram right through the walls
Please, I'm a huge fan of 80s cheesy horror movies and even I was bored during that movie.

king was high on cocaine for probably 25 years straight
I agree it's good, but not the ONLY good one.
Should have gotten the turbo.
What about Misery?
11.22.63 starring Sarah Gadon and James Franco is Kings best work
