Movies about KILLER INANIMATE OBJECTS
The cheezy horror subgenre KILLER INANIMATE OBJECTS have been around since the 1970s, at least, and are still with us today.
I do not count food as an INANIMATE OBJECT, so there are no titles like "Attack of the Killer Donuts" and "The Gingerdead Man" on this list.
Also, I did not include the many living doll films, such as Child’s Play, Dead Silence, Annabelle and others. Those films are practically their own subgenre.
You should check out:
1. The Car (1977)
2. Ferat Vampire (1982)
2. The Lift (1983)
3. Christine (1983)
