Drive In

I'm a fan a horror movies and I really don't like to judge movies just on their budgets, but rather try to find redeeming qualities about the films. Slasher films aren't the cream of the, after all. DRIVE IN wasn't the worst slasher flick I have ever seen. It was a bit cheesey in parts and the acting was questionable, though I thought the lead actress/heroine did very well with what she had to work with. The story is about a mentally retarded boy named Billy who grows up across from a Drive In movie theater that plays nothing but B-Slasher flicks. Well, they finally go to his head one night and he escapes his house and goes on a murderous rampage at the Drive In. I am not a fan of extreme gore, but I do think that this is one thing that would have helped this film. The clips of the movies that the Drive In was playing were pretty gory, but the actual murders were not. We get off screen stabbings, strangulations, and *something* that happends at a Merry-Go-Round. It was too dark to tell. It was a good effort and definitely a good premise, which could have been pulled off a lot better in the hands of a more creative film crew. The ending was a little rushed too......Overall, if you are a die-hard horror fan, you might want to see this, but if you like the polished, big-budget SCREAM0-type films, avoid this like the plague. 5 out of 10.

When I went to Red River Comunity Colledge they use to show you business films like how to handle a business interview. Well I heard from my friend Tony that the 2 companys that did these low budgets but at leat respectable videos made no money, so the company from Denver decided to do a porno and made lots of money and the other from California does horro films. I guess the one from California did this one. What they call acting is right out of how I do a interview, and they did not even change the sad music from the busines videos. Even the cheap VHS camra is used. This film is bad, I gave it a 4 becuase they did surpringly well with the low budget, and non film experience, meaning this film was watchable, but awfull. In the end if you seen any of these office films at school or work rent it and compare it.

Normally I don't take much notice when people make comments like one of the worst films ever, but in this case I do agree with other comments about this movie which is stinking bad.

The acting in it is even worse,& if there was any justice none of the people in it would ever act in a movie again. Looking at the cast list this doesn't seem to be the case.

A tailors dummy would be better than the killer, & why do they always have girls screaming. The only person of any merit being the guy who owned the movie theatre.

Can I have 75 minutes of my life back.

Where does one start? Poor script? Poor acting? Poor camera work? How about the first part of the movie being shot on video, while the rest is shot on film? Supposedly dead people adjusting skirts? Ultra lo-buck special effects? Haphazard editing? Folks, low budget does NOT always equal terrible work, Romero made Night of the Living Dead on a shoestring, and it's STILL a classic, sadly, this pile of garbage makes fun of Troma flicks, as if this movie is BETTER? Nope, take the writer, director, producers, etc, lock 'em up, throw away the key, and NEVER LET THEM NEAR A SET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, So we see this movie lurking in the corner of the store. Sitting beside the stinker CHILDREN OF THE LIVING DEAD we thought "How bad could it be?" Man were we wrong. At first it looks like a promo for the drive in. But it gets worse and worse. For one, there is NO gore in this movie. Aside from all the hilarious scenes from the amazing TROMA line of movies on the screen. The gore in this is minimal. And when people get killed it just shows gore on the drive in screen and some screaming. its lame! The story is terrible. Bad acting. Everything about this movie is bad. Steer clear! If you see it RUN AWAY AND RENT SOMETHING BETTER!
