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!

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!

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.

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.
