Review of Maximum Overdrive (1986) by Kevin M — 19 Sep 2007
"Honey, this ATM just called me an asshole!" Thanks, Stephen King, for this comic masterpiece. A comet makes machines revolt against humanity. Men are killed by soda dispensers, kids are flattened by steamrollers, rogue lawnmowers rampage through suburbia.
Some idiots are also under siege in a truck stop. The smartest one is a 12 year old boy. Oh yeah, it's supposed to be scary but it remains perversely entertaining. Nothing says horror quite like a soundtrack of wall-to-wall AC/DC tunes, but that's part of MO's goofy charm.
