Maximum Overdrive (1986)

from The Confused Breakfast · host Cloud10

Make you Cry July starts off with an absolute bang. This movie was Stephen King's first and only attempt at directing a movie and the critics didn't like it. Stephen himself hated it. But here we are almost 40 years later, dissecting one of the best bad movies ever made. It caused an irrational fear of soda machines, lawn mowers, drawbridges, trucks and drain pipes.
