Summary: Crazy Trucks
Comment: Who'd have thought a movie about killer trucks could be so great? I have loved Maximum Overdrive since I first saw it when I was a kid. All the blood and gore appealed to me, and the AC/DC soundtrack didn't hurt. I seem to watch Maximum Overdrive at least once a week, and it never gets old. A fantastic cast really does a great job with their characters and adds that something special to the movie. Of course anything based on some of Steven Kings work will be good, especially with the man himself directing and writing the short story it was based on as well as the script. Maximum Overdrive is a must buy for any Steven King fan, or the sci fi/horror fan.

Comment: The Bottom Line:
If you go into Maximum Overdrive with the right frame of mind (basically don't expect anything intelligent) then you'll probably have as good a time as I did watching trucks with no drivers terrorize middle America; it's not good per se, but it's good trash.

Summary: Great popcorn movie
Comment: Stephen King writes and wait for it, actually directs this adaptation of his short story "TRUCKS" (not to be confused with the later made for Sci-fi remake which was just a plain no brainer). Packed with a heavy hitting soundtrack by the Australian thunder from down under AC/DC (ironic I know), Maximum Overdrive despite it's cheeseball story will delight gorehounds and headbangers a like.
Much like a mechanical version of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, machines big and small begin revolting violently against people. Loaded with more dead bodies than an action movie and seriously dark humerous moments, this is a perfect movie for those saturday nights when nothing is on and you're so bored staring into space hurts. Hands down my favorite scene is the incredibly well shot chase sequence, where a huge and seriously ticked off Mack truck chases down a newly married couple down a deserted highway. Awesome. Though I still love the scene with the lawnmower, classic.
More so, the quiet moments of the film are usually slow but well accented with AC/DC's earlier blue's style motiff filling in the despair and desparation. So if you're looking for ninety minutes of bad B-movie to help you escape the day, look no further than Maximum Overdrive and enjoy Stephen King's hilarious cameo.
