Killdozer (1974)

While doing construction on an island 200 miles off the coast of Africa, a strange blue light goes from a meteorite into a bulldozer that’s trying to move it. After this, Kelly the foreman has trouble controlling  the machine and Mack gets fatal radiation burns from seeing the blue light.

When Kelly tries to drive the bulldozer the next day, it seems to have a mind of its own.  He cuts the hydraulic lines to make it stop and tows it back to base camp to have the mechanic look at it.  Nothing appears to be wrong with it so he fixes the hydraulic lines. But when Beltran gets in the drivers seat, the bulldozer takes off. Later they find Beltran’s body.  

With two of the six dead, Kelly starts to think Mack was right and the blue light did something to the machine.  While the others are skeptical, Dutch says machines can’t run by themselves.  Soon it’s a battle between the four men left and the slow crawling, yet stealthy and tricky bulldozer.

It’s not the most exciting film, but it’s got a great title and where else can you see a bull dozer try to take out a construction crew.
