Killdozer [Blu-ray]

Best movie I've watched in awhile. Holds your interest from start to finish. It was very good and interesting. Loved the actors and the plot. One of my favorite movies. Highly recommend watching it.

I saw this when it first aired back in early 1974 as a kid. With a plot about a bulldozer which becomes possessed by an alien intelligence the movie is kind of unforgettable. I think it was an ABC movie of the week. I later learned Marvel even did a comic book adaptation of it. I never got to see it again until it came to home video. I have both the Universal vault DVR and the Blu ray from Kino Lorber. The Universal DVR was watchable but the Blu ray is definitely an improvement in picture quality. The only complaint I have about it is about the package art. It makes the movie look like a straight to video movie from the 2000s. But unlike the universal artwork it's not kill loader

He likes the movie

While this isn't one of the really great horror movies it certainly is good entertainment. I liked it enough that I recorded it from tv onto a vhs tape the last time I saw it (some 20-25 years ago). One added benefit to getting it from broadcast television is the inclusion of some classic commercials from the time including one by the 'California Raisins' and a potato chip commercial starring Justin Wilson. The premise of a bulldozer running amok and trying to kill people may sound squirrelly at first, but it really works in the movie. The movements of the blade almost convince you the machine is thinking and planning its moves. One last note of interest: this flick doesn't use cgi, it doesn't use 'claymation(tm)', it doesn't use anything other than actors and real machinery! The director did a bang-up job of creating an atmosphere of believability. If you can find this hidden gem, buy it.Note: Not related to this movie. In the mid-1070's I saw a flick about a black Camaro that chased some guys down after they caused it to run off the road. The owner of the Camaro was a girl who picked up a keychain with a troll on it from a flea market before the wreck, then ended up in the hospital as a result of the wreck. The keychain was still in the ignition and the troll commandeered the car and began seeking revenge. It was a lot like "The Car" in that nobody was driving the Camaro. I don't remember the name of the movie but am hoping somebody else will. Any replies will be appreciated.Update 11-7-13Thanks to some replies I found "Crash!", the movie I was searching for. Unfortunately, the transfer was horrible and much of the flick was difficult to watch. Maybe someday it will receive a decent treatment and release. Also, I bought the DVD release of "KillDozer" and just watched it last week. The transfer was adequate but not spectacular; a result, I suppose, of this being a made-for-tv movie with a limited market appeal. Still spooky the way they made that dozer blade move. My wife was unimpressed with the idea of a murdering machine, so I won't even try getting her to watch the Camaro going on a rampage - lol. I guess The Walking Dead has jaded her a bit and made her less susceptible to being scared, although The Exorcist will do it every time.

Loved this movie as a kid. It's cheesy, but I still really like watching it and adding it to my movie collection.

Movie was ok but not the best..

It arrived early and was packaged well. Video and audio were both good quality. Will order from this supplier again.

This movie is an old favorite so naturally I was happy to find it available on DVD (even if only DVD-R). As far as I'm concerned, it's held up fairly well in the intervening years. The script is taken from a 1944 novella by Theodore Sturgeon. The plot isn't complicated; a few men are working on a small isolated island when something from outer space crashes on the beach. While using a bulldozer to remove this bit of space debris, a man is killed and the bulldozer becomes possessed with an alien presence. From that point on, it's strictly run for your life.What I particularly like about this movie is the way they managed to make each man a solid character, the danger quite real, and the killdozer a force to be reckoned with.A solid piece of entertainment. It's amazing how they were able to convey so much with so little. This one definitely goes in my collection.

I was really looking forward to watching this movie and when it arrived I was excited to watch it. Unfortunately it won't play, I tried it on two universal (ignores region restrictions) DVD players and it didn't work on them. I tried out other DVD's and they played them just fine. I don't see any scratches on the DVD so I am confused as to why it won't play... It is the first DVD that I own that has a blue shiny part instead of a white/gray/silver shiny part.

First class

Another older movie and very good. Would recommend it to all.

Remembered this from way back. It's based on a story from the old Si-FI mag and predates Maximum Overdrive. Simple story about alien possession of equipment. Video quality is a decent transfer and story isn't too bad. Good trip down memory lane if you have seen the movie and like seeing these old stars.

It's the B of B's for me like it very much
