02
The Car
Why this pick
A similarly lean 1970s mechanical-horror tale, with an apparently unstoppable vehicle menacing a remote community and a stark, sun-blasted atmosphere.
03
Maximum Overdrive
Why this pick
It expands Killdozer’s killer-industrial-equipment premise into a rowdy siege movie, retaining blue-collar characters, hostile machinery, and direct creature-feature momentum.
04
The Lift
Why this pick
This compact Dutch techno-thriller makes an everyday automated system sinister, building suspense from malfunction, investigation, and the unnerving possibility that machinery has intent.
05
The Hidden
Why this pick
Its blue-collar Los Angeles setting and propulsive B-movie pacing echo Killdozer’s unpretentious genre drive, while an inhuman force turns familiar technology into a violent threat.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A meteorite crashes onto the Earth's surface on an island off the coast of Africa. Countless years later, after natural forces have buried it and restored the local environment, six construction workers are boated to the island to begin work building an airstrip for an oil drilling company at the crash site, the uninhabited island.
