Drive In

A definite winner! Since the budget was very low, I must give praise to the people behind the budget. The music was okay, a bit campy in a bad taste of a way and the directing was quite clear. I guess it was watchable. I must say that the film was very camoy but in the end after knowing what the film was made for, i must say that it was amazing to have accomplished that much. It was al ow budget/ no budget film guys. Of course it was kind of campy, I mean it was a no budget movie, what would you expect-Godzilla. This film was good considering the budget. the people gave it their best and funded it privately, which was genius.

No one was ripped off!

Drive-In (2000) sucks. I can not find any other way to describe this "movie". There should be a law that bans people who make crappy movies to never make another one again. This "movie" blows major chunks. The authorities should also smash their digital camera and chase them far away from the entertainment industry. Who do I blame for supporting such tripe? The two suspects have to be the first and second largest video movie rental chains in this country (I don't get paid to advertise so they shall remain nameless).

If you see this title at your local video store don't even think about it! The D.V.D. is a waste of one's time and you'll never get your ninety plus minutes of your life back. Instead of viewing this disc, find a hobby or do a good deed. It's people like me who'll fall on the sword. Life is too short for people to watch garbage like this.

Don't watch this movie!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a direct to video release called "Drive In".You just can't expect too much out of it.I found a $5 VHS copy at a backwoods truck-stop and couldn't get it up to the cashier fast enough.

It's it "bad"? You bet,It has to be doesn't it? It was mostly shot at a drive-in with a video camera with about the same budget as the price of a popcorn and a large Coke at the snack bar.A (well...let's just call him "slow" to keep from being too unkind about it) teenage boy has spent most of his life locked in his room by his ashamed mother with no contact with the outside world.All that he knows about people is from his mother and a house keeper who are quite cold and cruel to him.Outside the window of the room he is locked in he can see the screen of the local drive-in that runs nothing but Troma and horror films( Sounds like heaven on Earth.Anyone got the address? I'll be there as fast as I can!). One night he finally can't stand it anymore so he breaks free and kills everyone he sees buy.....well.....he...uh..kills them by what ever he can find.I can only guess because we don't get to see anything! Bummer. It works out like this: He swings the speaker around by the cord walks toward the next victim and...and...nothing.CUT.The filmmakers didn't have the budget for any gore.It looks like they where going to cut it in later and never did.Did the local butcher shop close or something? Oh well I guess ya just can't have it all.

All in all I liked it.But, if it wasn't for it being shot at a drive in with Troma films playing on the screen,and a nacho cheese version of the fast food fun game "bobing for french fries" it would be pointless.For big time drive-in fans only.

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.
