The 80’s Horror Flop Is The Only Film Ever Directed By A Legendary Horror Writer

For those who have never heard Lots of Overdrive earlier, the 1986 sci-fi horror centers on a group of machines brought to life by the magnetic pull of a passing comet. As the story begins, an ATM beats up its customers as they try to withdraw money, while a fleet of 18-wheeler trucks begins racing to take the drivers off the road on a nearby bridge.

Early mechanical casualties include a group of North Carolina residents who are attacked by a vending machine, a steam roller, and a dangerous gas pump, blasting diesel into the waiting faces of passersby.
