When machines become autonomous and start killing, a group of people try to survive at a diner surrounded by tractor trailers.
Verdict
This is not a good movie by any metric, but it is a great B-movie. If you want to watch a great example of a bad movie this is it. The soundtrack is surprisingly good, provided by AC/DC.
Skip it.
Review
This is the only film Stephen King has directed, and he later admitted he'd like to try directing again, though sober this time.
It's an improbably premise that fits squarely within the bad movie cliches. Little did I know the end of the movie would make the premise even sillier.
It's a ridiculous movie on nearly every level. It's a true B-movie with over the top acting and silly situations. Trying to make sense out of this will only lead to frustration.
It's frequently gruesome as many '80s movies were. It's a bad movie, but you could have fun watching this as you pick it apart.
