Avis à la une
From the very first scene where we see a guy who must be in his mid to late twenties wearing kids pajamas and swinging himself on the swing, sort of mumbling softly to himself (the writer clearly thinks this is what people who suffer from any form of mental retardation do-they DO NOT) you know this is a piece of garbage. Why they made this movie is beyond me. I mean, how much money could this have made in video sales and rentals?! I'm shocked that it was even in the video store at all. This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen, and the writer needs to be publicly tarred and feathered...or something alone those lines! I mean...a high school drama production has better acting, better set design, etc...I myself could have written a better story and script in an hour!! The story is just ludicrous and not in a funny way...it's so bad, I wanted to jump into the movie so the big tall dude could kill ME and end my pain for having to see this pile of crap! To everyone who made this movie- PLEASE LEAVE THE FILMMAKING BUSINESS FOREVER! You are all a stain on what is a decent profession! Stay away from this movie at ALL costs!
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.

What do you get when a mentally challenged horror movie watching freak named Billy gets loose and wreaks havoc on the local drive in theatre? A bad movie that's what!
You can't take a movie very far when all it's about is a guy killing people from car to car or from car to canteen. The director attempts to add the moral issue of the effect of horror movies on people's behavior by having the killer, Billy, act as the way the horror movies playing on the big screen are progressing. With a movie so bad I don't think many people will even notice or simply won't care.

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.

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.

- GaffesWhen Billy kills the snack-bar girl he pulls the phone receiver cord out of the phone, but when the manager finds her body the sound effects included the high-pitched buzz of a phone that has been left off the hook. Without the phone cord between the phone and receiver the phone can't make that noise.
