3.0 out of 5 stars Very short,bloody watchable slasher from the 70's., Jan 3 2006

By J. Cook "Scabboy" - Published on Amazon.com

[good things]

Some really gruesome deaths, a nice, easy and unconfusing plot-- typical slasher film. The film introduced a few suspects, and even a plot twist, which was pretty easy to guess. A couple pretty awesome kills, and the run time was a mere 70 minutes.

[the bad]

The acting was pretty bad, camera work sub-par, dialogue lacked, which made it pretty typical for the genre.

[final thoughts]

Regardless of bad this film really was, and how much people seem to hate it, I really liked it. It did have bad acting, bad camera and bad writing, but it was a nice and solid slasher. It was released in 1976 and I think they did pretty will with the gore for that time. The deaths in the opening scene were the best and by far the bloodiest, but all of the rest still delivered. George "Buck" Flower co-wrote this movie and starred in an uncredited role, which brought a smile to my face.

I think it is a must own for any fan of the slasher movie, and really, if you hate the movie it's only 70 minutes long (uncut) so, why not check it out?

2.0 out of 5 stars At Least It's Short(Like My Review), May 9 2009

By Stanley Runk "Runkdapunk" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Drive-In Massacre (DVD)

Two grande detectives are on the trail of a sword wielding killer who strikes at the local drive-in. A few suspects and a few red herrings are thrown our way, but they're not terribly effective.
Honestly, I'm not going to waste my time talking about this one much. It's better to just avoid it unless you simply can't help yourself. As a slasher it wasn't very good, nor as a mystery or homage to the drive-in. The picture looks like a dreadful VHS transfer, but I doubt a clearer picture would really make the film better.
A few good kills in the very beginning, but that's about it. We all know I love low budget trash, but sometimes I have my limits.

1.0 out of 5 stars A serial killer molded after the Dutchmaster himself, Sep 24 2009

By Sid the Elf - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Drive-In Massacre (DVD)

First off we find it pretty amazing (not in a good way) that this is only the third review done for a film made in 1974, both being within the last 3 years. For most that is a warning sign to steer clear. However for Sid that's what draws us in. Sure it doesn't make sense to most, but the quest for b often brings you to films of this caliber and sometimes gives you a classic. This was not one of those times. When you take gambles you also open yourself up to some big let downs and Drive in Massacre is one of those we'll hope to never see again.

The film begins in the typical grainy 70's look as the sunsets and the local drive in opens up. Once the film starts rolling a couple looking to get a little randy winds up getting killed by a sword yielding maniac. Hey Dutch! It's the exact sword that pear shaped loser used to have. Anyway, this alerts two dim witted old investigators (one resembling John Madden) and they hit the scene of the crime. From here one out the film goes absolutely nowhere. It's pretty much the same scene over and over leaving you amped to hit the fast forward button quite often.

So to Sum up Drive-In Massacre: stay away! Even if you're a huge fan of b, this will leave you virtually nothing to find enjoyment in. See for Sid we were born past the drive in times and never got to enjoy what seemed to be a great experience. Naturally you'd think it would make for a great horror atmosphere, but this one proved to be the contrary. In the world of b horror we like to try and broaden our horizons by finding some more obscure films from older time periods. This one was came up empty but that will never stop Sid. This one never would have made it back in the days and easily would have gotten passed up to watch Cow Tipping for a 5th time in one sitting.
