Product Description

Product description

1986 ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT DVD

Amazon.com

"I'm gonna scare the hell out of you," intones Stephen King in the trailer for his sole directorial effort, the much-maligned Maximum Overdrive. While the end result doesn't live up to that boast, this sci-fi/horror tale isn't as awful as it's been described. King's script (based on his short story "Trucks") focuses on the patrons of a North Carolina truck stop, which comes under attack by a convoy of trucks and other machines animated by Earth's passage through the tail of a "rogue comet." King's fans, tired of half-baked screen adaptations like Cujo and Children of the Corn, expected a horror home run from Maximum Overdrive and instead got an old-fashioned drive-in movie filled with car crashes, cheapjack gore, and fart jokes. Needless to say, they stayed away in droves; the film's failure helped ruin producer Dino De Laurentiis's DEG Films and forced King to sheepishly claim that he had created a modern-day Plan Nine from Outer Space. While the film is torpidly paced and often amateurishly acted, it's no worse than any direct-to-video thriller, and King's ear for dialogue occasionally shines through the gloom. Emilio Estevez and Pat Hingle register as a heroic cook and his black-hearted boss, respectively; the cast includes Yeardley Smith (Lisa Simpson's voice), Giancarlo Esposito, and Marla Maples (!) as a victim. Anchor Bay's letterboxed print is the R-rated theatrical version; the film was cut extensively after receiving an X rating for violence. The original trailer and a thorough biography on King are also included. --Paul Gaita

My husband wanted to watch this with my teenage boys, they love it! I have seen it several times, but since I am "a girl" it really isn't my thing. The storyline is fun because it is about all these big trucks and vehicles coming alive, a great Stephen King story with fun 1980s music. Not some thing my daughter and I would want to sit down and watch together, but overall, it is a great movie for those who love that kind of thing!

Maximum Overdrive is an absolute thrill ride that delivers a perfect blend of horror, humor, and high-octane action. Directed by the master of horror himself, Stephen King, this film takes the concept of machines gone rogue to a whole new level. The storyline, where machines develop a malevolent mind of their own, is as ingenious as it is terrifying.

Emilio Estevez leads a stellar cast in this adrenaline-pumping adventure, delivering a performance that captures the chaos and intensity of the situation. The special effects, considering the era of its release, are surprisingly effective and add to the film's overall charm.

What makes Maximum Overdrive truly stand out is its unabashed embrace of its own absurdity. The film doesn't take itself too seriously, incorporating dark humor and a killer soundtrack that perfectly complements the on-screen chaos.

If you're a fan of '80s horror with a generous dose of campy fun, Maximum Overdrive is a must-watch. It's a wild, entertaining ride that remains a cult classic in the realm of horror cinema.🚗💨🤖🎬

Oxfordshire England Brand does not work in the States. It shows how the d.v.d. is defective when on the screen. This is how they make their money. It's a hassle to get a label to return it. They should send a return label incase it doesn't work. DON'T BUY THIS D.V.D. BRAND!

I had this film on video tape for years from the TV but I always wanted it on DVD, to me it's a brilliant film, makes you want to look in the rearview mirror in case a murderous truck comes up behind you, one of the best trucking films I ever seen and it was written by non other than Stephen king brilliant writer. If you like trucking films, this is one to get.
