Maximum Overdrive Left Stephen King Apologizing

Stephen King may be the Master of Horror, but his first foray into directing may have made him the Master of Disaster. Adapting one of his own short stories, "Maximum Overdrive," into a feature film and starring the acting talent of Emilio Estevez, it seemed like King was ready to conquer an entirely new medium. However, as you might have guessed based on the somewhat limited number of films he directed, "Maximum Overdrive" went down in film history as one of the most disastrous box office bombs of all time. This is the story of the horror film that left Stephen King apologizing.
