Since the dawn of time, man has faced a constant battle with his technology, using it to build, to aid, and to kill. But as we reach to the new digital horizon, the technology we have created may now grow to become a threat to us. Be it through AI or alien sentience, any piece of tech, the hallmark of our civilization, may come to an existence of its own and decide its only recourse is to kill. That's why yesterday I watched...
KILLDOZER!
Construction workers out in the Pacific are clearing an island for a mega corporation to then develop. They must battle the elements, each other, and the alcoholism that inflicts them. But under the harsh regime of 1970s uber-corporate reality, they discover an alien entity subsiding within a meteor. And soon that alien lashes out with the most devastating weapon it can inhabit: A GOD DAMN BULLDOZER!
KILLDOZER!
It will give you thrills. It will give you chills. It will make you question whether mankind's construction equipment has become TOO POWERFUL.
Nothing can stop the Killdozer. Not high explosives. Not cranes. Not dramatically long sequences in which a bulldozer slowly bares down on someone who could simply have gotten out of the damn jeep and walked away, like that scene in the first Austin Powers movie with the road roller, only this time done with completely serious intent.
But the human spirit must persevere against all odds, be it against loneliness, the demon drink, rock music, or steadily growing insanity. Mankind must not let these poor plot devices stand in its way.
For in the grim dark 1970s of humanity, there is only Killdozer.
