Summary: VERY COOL MOVIE!
Review: I loved Maximum Overdrive! I've never seen the video I just saw it on TV with lots of stuff cut out, but I think it's really cool! Critics think it's dumb, but it has a neat story and I didn't know it was a Stephen King story. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE!

Summary: Maximum Failure!
Review: One of the worst Stephen King movies ever made and one of the worst premises for a horror film. Predictable and pointless plot make this movie dull, static, and easily forgettable. The opening "machines attacking" scenes have almost nothing to do with the rest of the movie, which deals mainly with trucks driving around aimlessly. Acting is bad: Why doesn't anybody ever see the machines coming? What is with the ending? Will going on a boat actually solve the "machine problem"? I definitely don't recommend this movie. It's hardly scary, just aggravating and mindless!

Summary: KICK BUTT
Review: This movie rocks! Terrible acting, poor use of fake blood, steam rollers, a soda machine that I would love outside my place of business, the psycho music when a machine is about to kill someone, bible salesman gets his sh@* ruined, random sex scene that has nothing to do with the plot, and senceless destruction of cars, trucks, power tools, and buildings. This movie serves up 31 flavors of whoop a** with a side of good old fashioned beatdown. This movie would have kicked a** even if Men at Work did the sound track but just to add even more flavor to side of beatdown, the producers threw in a sound track by AC/DC.
Besides Dawn of the Dead this movie is one of the best ones out there!!

Summary: Stephen King's Worst Film But It Was The 80's After All
Review: This 1986 Stephen King film (he directed the movie and wrote the screenplay) is possibly his worst film. The cheesy 80's is written all over it and it's not the mature work of Stephen King, who has come up with scarier material than this. Stars Emilio Estevez as the leader of a group of truck stop diner who have to band together to defeat possessed trucks. A comet that passed through the skies left an eerie green cloud over the town and has made it possible for human's inventions, electronic or otherwise, to rebel against humans. Soon, all the trucks come to life and drive themselves, killing off their drivers. This film is really nothing exciting or even scary. Stephen King has created more frightening horror films. Even if he was trying to go for a science fiction type of horror genre, it did'nt work. Maybe because it was the 80's and this is just one bad apple in the bunch.Yeardley Smith, best known as the voice of Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons is part of the cast. It's refreshing to see her in person and in movies outside from the cartoons. She was also in the short lived early 90's series "Herman's Head". This is definately not Emilio Estevez's best work. About a year earlier, he had performed in The Breakfast Club in which he did a much better job. He would do the same later in the 90's with the Mighty Ducks movies. The trucks are funny to look at and the humans being killed by them is not as frightening as it should be. Especially comedic is the truck with the Green Goblin head on it. This movie, which is a sort of camp classic, is more enjoyable if it does'tn take itself seriously. This movie DOES try to be serious horror. The ending implies that the survivors made it possible for the aliens in the green cloud to be defeated and it is supposed to be a sort of serious film about survival. But it's not really a good film for that type of plot. I feel this movie would be better to look at in Mystery Science Theatre 3000 where they showcase old camp, bad movies with ad lib jokes. Then maybe this movie would be better to look at. But if you're into the 80's, Stephen King (no matter what he does) and Emilio Estevez, this is the film for you. Thank God it' not well remembered.

Review: Oh man. This was such a cool film when I was younger.
I waited for it to come on TNT or Sci-Fi, and I tried to watch it, seeing as how I don't own it. This is a true "guilty pleasure" (a term film buffs use).
Here's the plot:
For a week in 1987, the Earth passed through a mysterious comet.
Now, we have truck stop customers and employees trying to stay alive when trucks come "alive" and start killing.
They must stop the trucks before the trucks stop them.
Based on Stephen King's novel "Trucks", this film will satisfy any King or horror movie fan. Check it out.

Summary: well, what can I say?
Review: I know some people who are HUGE car fans, but I'm not that kind of guy. Nor do I really care that much for AC/DC. This was an ok film. I just don't know why cars would react like that when a meteor falls to earth. It definetely doesn't react like Creepshow does. 4 and a half stars.
