Those who respect their time are advised to steer clear; but die-hard film freaks, may get some mileage from Drive-in Massacre's trashy atmosphere, crazed turn from genre icon George "Buck" Flower and inspired gimmick ending.

Rated: 2/5

Film Frenzy

This offers a few gory kills in between countless scenes of two hefty cops trying to ascertain (via mucho mumbling) who's hanging out at the local drive-in theater garroting unsuspecting customers with a sword.

Rated: 2/4

Proto slasher good at slashing not at character.

Tres schlocky, but what can you expect from a Grindhouse flick like this?! The acting is horrendous, and the special effects are a bit groan-worthy, but I still had quite a bit of fun with it.

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!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

There are plenty of B movie gems out there, sadly this isn't one of them. Has the odd moment of horror inventiveness but 70s glorious kitsch aside this one is mainly very forgettable.

This movie has some high points, but it could have been so much better. First it has some good blood and gore, good mystery, and then a great ending. But on the other hand, the acting isn't great, and neither is the cinematography. Overall, it's an okay movie.
