Comment
When earth passes through the tail of a comment all the machine in a small town become killers, but a small group of people holed up in a gas station attempt to survive. This is horror film with some darkly comic overtones. The first part of the film is machines killing of people in the townin various ways and the second half is how a small group of misfit people attempt to survive a whole convoy of lorries and other machines. This film is the only time Stehen King directed a film version of one of his stories.
