Trucks (1997 TV Movie)
4/10

"Maximum Overdrive" is considered a bad movie and one of the worst adaptations of Stephen King (which I firmly disagree with), although it was adapted by King himself. Chris Thomson and Brian Taggert were not satisfied with how badly this film was made, so they decided to show that it could be done much worse, adapting the same story a decade later, in the form of the movie "Trucks". Objectively, the film is in every respect cheap trash, and in addition, it lacks the AC/DC soundtrack, which has largely pulled out "Maximum Overdrive", but there are a few really memorable scenes for which I strongly recommend you to see this flick. The scene in which a small plastic remote control truck is killing a postman is at the same time one of the most idiotic and one of the most unforgettably hilarious scenes of death in the history of cinema, and the scene in which protective suit kills its owner with an axe does not fall far behind.
