Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
hellholehorror Oh dear this is bad. I don't know if it was the lighting or the transfer but it looked terrible and the dialogue sounded rubbish. It had potential but that was crushed very quickly. Bad acting with the odd funny bit and obvious mistakes. Thankfully extremely short but even so definitely not worth watching. Big-budget film fans should stay very well clear, low-budget film fans should also avoid!
MonsterVision99 "Drive-In Massacre" its a very watchable and schlocky slasher flick, it's not as bad as people make it up to be, its very campy and funny, it gives you the Drive-in movie charm you would expect from it, perfect for a Drive-In, but its not that fun if you watch it at home.The effects look cheesy and cheap, the acting its pretty bad at points (I guess, I mean, I watched the film with the Spanish dub, so I wouldn't really know), the ending may be a little disappointing for some people but it really didn't bothered me all that much, I saw it coming.Sometimes it wanders around and doesn't get to the point and the dialog its pretty cheesy, but its kinda of funny.I would recommend it for those who are looking for a campy, schlocky drive-in flick with some cheap kills.
dougdoepke Goofy teen flick that wants to be different but misfires. So who's the samurai wannabe who's lopping off heads at the local drive-in. Is it the a-hole owner (Johnson), the pathetic flunky (Germy), or maybe the peeping Tom (Orville). Then again, maybe it's someone out there in the dark. Meanwhile, our two escapees from the police gym (Alden & Leary) better find out before the drive-in industry goes ker-plop.You know something's different when the two cop "heroes" are middle-age beer- bellies. Actually, I thought their restrained turns were the flick's best feature. Then too, the pitifully needy Germy is like nothing I've seen in 60-years of viewing. So it's too bad that the screenplay was apparently assembled in the dark, along with the editor's cutting knife. Then too, add a lighting bill that maybe totals a buck eighty, and you've got one of the murkiest results in all moviedom, and that's right down to fade out. .Too bad the results are so muddled since the glints of imagination are left hopelessly stranded.In passing-- I figure that sudden meander into the warehouse chase was an effort at providing climactic action that an audience normally expects. That way the movie's frustrating ending doesn't disappoint because the audience has already been provided climactic action. Trouble is the chase sequence amounts to a total story contrivance and only makes things worse.
acidburn-10 With a title like "Drive In Massacre" I was expecting well a massacre, but when I finally got round to watching this movie, I was soley disappointed. Firstly I found this movie so hard to follow thanks to terrible sound quality, but that's probably down to the extremely low budget, not anyone's fault, but the actors in this movie are terrible, and the several mistakes like lines being flubbed and the boom mike appearing in every shot which all together made this movie very hard to watch in my opinion. And the fact that this movie is so grainy it felt like I was watching a gory version of Columbo.Okay the murders are okayish given the time this movie came out, and even at 75 minutes, I was still bored, the inept police investigation was extremely dull and pointless and the red herrings are just there pad out the running time.All in all a very boring movie in my opinion, slow paced at even 75 minutes can you believe.
