Vestron Collector’s Series Announces MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE Blu-ray

1986’s Maximum Overdrive has always been a favorite of mine- a truly underrated horror gem involving possessed machinery and peak Emilio Estevez. Thankfully the folks at Lionsgate and Vestron seem to agree and are planning a new Blu-ray edition of the film as part of their Vestron Collector’s Series line.

The Blu-ray will be released October 23rd and host a slew of bonus features including new audio commentary tracks, a ton of making-of featurettes and more.

Take a look below for more details about the release.

Get ready for the ultimate battle of man vs. bloodthirsty machine in this terrifying Stephen King classic! For three horrifying days, the Earth passes through the tail of a mysterious comet. The skies glow an eerie green as humanity waits to see what the fallout will be. But what they imagine is nothing like the nightmare they find — the comet’s magnetic fields cause all the machines on Earth to suddenly come to life and terrorize their human creators in a horrific killing spree.
