Maximum Overdrive DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is a loud, crude, big budget film with lots of opportunities for sound field activity, most of which Anchor Bay's DD 5.1 takes advantage. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE thrives on huge explosions and rumbling of mammoth trucks, but barely a trickle of bass emanates from the soundfield. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is a failure as a horror film, while it still delivers the goofy and gory delights. www.dvdcult.com /rev_Maximum.htm   (1549 words)

Classic-Horror Review of Maximum Overdrive (1986) Maximum Overdrive is best enjoyed on television with the benefit of commercial breaks, editing for time and content and hosted by Joe Bob Briggs; the shorter and easier to swallow, the better with this one. But… it’s horrible in a Roger Corman drive-in way that we all know if viewed under the right conditions (accompanied by a few tall boys for instance), can be a hoot. Stephen King based the screenplay for Maximum Overdrive on his short story "Trucks." His first and last time as director, King unfortunately misses even the mark he set for himself. classic-horror.com /reviews/maximumoverdrive.shtml   (1011 words)

Monstervision Host Segments for Maximum Overdrive I'm Joe Bob Briggs, and it's time for "Maximum Overdrive," considered by most critics to be the WORST Stephen King movie ever made. Or whatever you call it they were doing--I guess it's not dating if the guy is married to somebody else--anyway, when they first started rootin around, the newspapers would report on her as a "mysterious actress."

Scifilm -- Reviews, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986) MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE suffers from an episodic lack of story, focus, and character. The movie was trimmed to avoid an X rating for gore, so a wound pops up out of nowhere in one attack scene and the fate of another character appears undetermined. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is a complete and utter misfire, albeit one that is highly entertaining for fans of such things. www.scifilm.org /reviews2/maxoverdrive.html   (299 words)

Last check: 2007-09-11) Writer-director Stephen King falls short in his debut at the helm with Maximum Overdrive, an absurd tale about a radiation storm that somehow animates machines across the world, causing them to turn on their makers. The film focuses on a group of survivors held captive at the Dixie Boy Diner by a group of bad-tempered semis. Maximum Overdrive's only distinction is that it is, without question, one of the worst films released in the '80s. www.amazon.ca /Maximum-Overdrive-Stephen-King/dp/B0002B161E   (367 words)

DVD Review - Quick Peeks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) At the outset of ’Maximum Overdrive’, we are told that the Earth is passing through the tail of a comet. ’Maximum Overdrive’ walks a fine line between horror (with very gruesome deaths, which were actually cut for an R-rating) and camp (with the aforementioned circling trucks) and never seems to make up its mind about where it’s going. While many consider ’Maximum Overdrive’ to be a turkey, Anchor Bay isn’t treating it as such. www.dvdreview.com /quickpeek/collect/359.shtml   (3912 words)

Maximum Overdrive Maximum Overdrive was the first film Stephen King ever directed and to date it’s the last one too.

Motherfucking Masterpieces: Maximum Overdrive Strange, because although it tends to be a horror film that people are aware of, it’s not one that they think of when they think of horror films in general. Nowadays, I appreciate Maximum Overdrive with the same regard my parent’s must’ve had when they watched it for the first time. It’s good downright campy shit for the whole family. King’s ability to turn innocent everyday items into thrashing death machines is well in place as an ice cream truck seems to be playing look-out for any straggling humans in the neighborhood, its comforting little jingle playing harmlessly in the background.  As it nears, the sight of blood on the corner keeps us in check. www.acidlogic.com /mm_max_overdrive.htm   (1136 words)

Maximum Overdrive - DVD - Title M Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk Of course, a few stand out from the crowd as being the exceptions which prove the rule, but for the most part, and especially when you think of his short stories, Hollywood has made some real howlers out of undeniably excellent source material.
