La rebelión de las máquinas
Directed by Stephen King
- Richard9 de noviembre de 2025This is the cinematic equivalent of a fever dream in a truck stop. Stephen King, riding high on fame and other substances, decided to direct his own short story (Trucks) and turn it into a full blown movie. The result? A glorious mess of killer machines, AC/DC riffs and Emilio Estevez trying to act his way out of a vending machine apocalypse. The plot is simple: Earth passes through the tail of a rogue comet and suddenly all machines come to life and start murdering people. Lawnmowers, arcade cabinets and most famously, a demonic semi truck with a Green Goblin face. It’s chaos. Glorious, greasy chaos. King himself later admitted he was “coked out of his mind” during production and it shows. The tone swings wildly between horror, slapstick and accidental comedy. The pacing is erratic, the dialogue is bonkers and the direction? Let’s just say it’s enthusiastic. The cast does their best, Estevez is stoic, Yeardley Smith screams a lot and Pat Hingle looks like he wandered in from a Tennessee Williams play. The soundtrack? Pure AC/DC, blasting like it’s trying to drown out the script. This was King’s first and last time in the director’s chair. The production was reportedly a nightmare, with injuries, technical failures and a crew that probably aged five years in five weeks. It’s a cult classic now, but back then? Critics roasted it like a malfunctioning toaster. Still, it’s a must watch. Not because it’s good, but because it’s King unfiltered. A cinematic car crash you can’t look away from. And honestly? That truck face is iconic.

En el año 1986, durante tres días, la Tierra está bajo la influencia de un misterioso cometa, aparentemente inofensivo, que dota de vida a las máquinas, las cuales comienzan a hacer cosas extrañas. Al principio, los problemas aparentan ser menores: las bombas de gasolina de pronto dejan de funcionar, los videojuegos se descontrolan totalmente y las máquinas de refrescos devuelven las latas descontroladamente. Pronto, los ataques son más graves, y ya no hay lugar seguro, incluyendo la parada de camioneros Dixie Boy, donde clientes y empleados tratan de ganar la partida a estas terroríficas máquinas. Con unas armas escondidas en el sótano de la parada de camiones, Bill Robinson (Emilio Estévez) conduce una escapada hacia el mar abierto en el último esfuerzo para salvarse a sí mismo, a su grupo y, a toda la raza humana.
