Maximum Overdrive is perfectly mediocre but with enough interesting parts to make it worthwhile. The movie is produced by questionably renowned producer Dino De Laurentiis (King Kong ‘76, Orca, Piranha II: The Spawning); it is also written and directed by Stephen King, based on an early short story of his called “Trucks”. Director: Stephen KingProducer: Dino De Laurentiis, Martha De Laurentiis, Milton … Continue reading Maximum Overdrive (1986) Movie Review

Frankenhooker (1990) Movie Review
Frankenhooker is not the worst Frankenstein adaptation out there (hello, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter) but it ranks low. This 1990 black comedy comes from exploitation maestro, Frank Henenlotter, the director of Basket Case.
