This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Renting movies is sort of like fishing ,you throw out a line and see what you get.I had never heard of this movie so I thought I'd give it a shot a see what I got.Not much ,it turns out.This big fat weirdo of a mechanic who lives out in the desert runs runs over a guy walking along side the road.So instead of calling an ambulance our big fat bald weirdo takes the wounded guy back to his garage and puts him back together with mechanical parts.So then the big fat bald mechanic teaches Machine Man to kill people while baldy sits in another room and whacks off while watching it all on a monitor.I swear thats the movie.Really.But don't let my dazzling synopsis fool you.It was a terrible movie.Badly lit,badly acted.I mean badly,badly acted.No special effects to speak of except people being stabbed and then getting back up and getting back in the action as if being stabbed through the liver can be cured by holding your side.The movie also had all these annoying little atmosphere effects...like the light bulbs kept flickering and the monitor screens kept blinking off and on and these things happened over and over to the point of being so freaking irritating.So the mechanic could make a part man part machine to kill people but he couldn't fix a light bulb so it would stop flickering?And the Machine Man made these robot like sounds whenever he would move.Well Machine Man may be too grand a term....he looked more like some doofus in a football helmet with lights on it and he also had what looked like shoulder pads on too! There were a couple of topless chicks but they weren't enough to save this waste of time.This is just another home made looking piece of crap movie from Lionsgate.Shot on video at night in some junkyard......please someone take the cameras away from these little snot noses who all think they can make a horror movie.

While driving through the Arizona Sonoran Desert, Ryan (Jose Rosete) runs out of fuel and he is forced to stop his car. The sadistic mechanic and collector of serial killer weapons Motorman Dan (David C. Hayes) runs over Ryan and brings him to his workshop, transforming him in a killer wearing a strange outfit. Ryan kills clients of the mechanic workshop for the pride and joy of Motorman Dan, becoming a serial-killer. Meanwhile his sister Angela (Patti Tindall) seeks out Ryan in the desert and meets Motorman Dan, who abducts her for Ryan, while her husband Clay (Mark Ray) chases Angela.The sadistic low-budget "Machined" is an annoying and tedious crap. The ridiculous plot is stupid, and the soundtrack causes irritation to the viewer. The unknown Patti Tindall has a good performance but is unable to save this fiasco. The fake reviews promoting this flick misguided my choice and I saw this garbage expecting to see a reasonable horror movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Oficina da Morte" ("Workshop of the Death")

I loved this movie!! I watched it with my father who is much older and this movie got him to scream twice. Loved it all the way. Frighten's me to think what could happen if I ever had car troubles out in the sticks! I was really sad that Ryan did not recognize his sister. Too bad he didn't come back all in one piece because in the beginning when we saw him, he was a hottie!! Motor Man Dan is one sick, twisted pervert. What's really scary is he could be your neighbor next door especially in this day and age. (Now that's scary). I definitely am going to add this to my collection! Excellent for being an indie film, for once someone has some talent and doesn't need big bucks to prove it!

You are driving along and your car breaks down in the desert. What do you do? Start walking to try and find help. This poor guy named Ryan is run down by backyard mechanic named Motor Man Dan. Motor Man then turns Ryan into a major killer. What we later find out is that his sister looses hope from the police and takes off looking for him. The movie was shot on video but looked very good. The acting was good, the camera was always moving around which gives the feeling of nervousness. The score was different but I liked the mood it gave. Although my copy had a scratch which I then had to go back to my local store and wait for another copy to come in. I finally watched the ending another day. The director of this movie will be around for sure. He had his own style which is what we need more of.
