A group of people try to survive when machines start to come alive and become homicidal.
Rating:6/10 When watching a movie like Maximum Overdrive, the first thing you should do is to turn off your brain. This movie has a lot of flaws. I mean, a lot of flaws. But the one thing this movie isn't, is boring. Lots of excitement and original kills to this one. Where can you see a soda machine attack little leaguers? The scene that stands out the most is when a steamroller rolls over an innocent kid. That scene stuck with me for years. Another thing that stands out with this movie is the awesome soundtrack from AC/DC. I still kind of rock out to this to this day. The acting was ok, but would someone tell Yeardley Smith to shut the hell up. Oh my God, If I have to hear the name Curtis one more time, I'm going to be driven nuts. How annoying. Not a bad movie, but this isn't the worst Stephen King movie by a stretch.
