Drive In

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!!
