Yes, really. A film about a killer bulldozer!
Plot: A meteorite falls from space, impacting an island off the coast of Africa. As it happens, there's a construction team there levelling the beach for an oil drilling company. While 'dozing', one of the men touches the unearthed, blue glowing rock. He dies and the bulldozer absorbs the 'evil' powers of the meteor. Then it goes around 'dozing' people to death.
'Dozing' to death is the best term, considering the vehical can barely best 5mph and yet, it manages to 'off' the majority of the crew on the island.
This is one of the many maniacal motor movies, in the vein of The Car, Christine and Duel that came out in the mid 70's-early 80's...and with it being mercifully short (70 odd mins), it's just this side of tedious.
I'd love to meet the executive that 'green-lit' this project.
Fun Fact: Based on a 1944 story, where in the malevolent force originated from an underground temple, post WWII.
