Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

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 would consider myself to be a fan of all types of movies, I've see just about every movie considered to be a decent one by highly regarded critics, and it completely baffles me that people enjoyed this movie. It shames me to say that i'm writing this comment without having fully watched the movie, but i honestly couldn't even finish it it was so bad, and believe me I've watched my fair share of bad movies. The fact is that this is just a cheap release by wannabe film-makers. I understand that they were dealing with little or no budget but the idea of someone rebuilding a human who in turn becomes a killer isn't even close to being original e.g. Frankenstein. They could've at least tried to make an original crappy independent film. 0 out of 10 from me and probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

I never write comments on movies until I read some of the other ones that bash this movie. Miss this one?.. COME ON! And what film stock was it shot on? Who cares. Motorman made me sick, I will agree, but that's what horror does and thank you director and actors for making me feel something for once. I just can't imagine what is was like for these guys to shoot an opening scene like that. My hat goes off to you crazy BAS****S. Anyway, my positive thoughts on the movie; Motorman's place was set up nice, gave the movie it's own feel. I think the acting was good, not great. The director has got a sense of style, it may be his own, but a sense.The negative thoughts. The movie needed more action. 3/4's into the movie it slowed up a little but then came through which I thought was good for an ending.9 Stars out of 10

come on now! how you going not show his face? i mean the little parts that were shown of the dudes face being all messed up was real cool. and when he was drilling the girl i seen his face in the background all bloody under the other mask. i kept thinking i was going to see what his face looked like at some point. at the end would have been a good time after his sister stabbed him or even when she was in the bathtub and he gave her beans. he should have shown her his face then. but thats pretty much the only thing i didn't like about it. it was creepy and well acted. the big guy with glasses made it creepy. and i liked hearing the hurt guy talk repeating everything the fat guy was talking about. he should have did that a little more. the cop getting killed from the old blind lady was a cool middle twist that made the situation even more messed up. and i liked that once they got the cops gun they didn't use it. straight killers don't kill with guns. he was watching all that crazy stuff on the TV and thats what made him kill the way he did. someone else said that the killings were too simple and the same. thats crap one killing was with the knife through the neck, then the knife between that girls chest, then those things he stabbed the cop with, then the knife through the back, then the drill. and he chased his sister around with a bigger knife. i don't think the story was about showing blood and making it look stupid ,just showing how crazy the situation was. 8 out of 10.
