Drive In

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!!
