A
Drive-In Theatre opens up in California
during the summer as people go there for
some romance while watching a movie but
they are being slaughtered by a sword
wielding maniac.
Two detectives named Larry and Mike try
to go to the theatre to catch the killer
but many people are suspects during this
incident including an obnxious owner
named Austin Johnson (Newton Naushaus)
who didn't like the idea of opening one
up in the first place.
This film made no
sense at all and was a waste of time to
do plus made on a very low budget.
The film is very obscure and forgettable
and made out this was based on real life
events too but if that was the case the
makers could have made alot more effort
with this crappy splatter/slasher flick.
The acting is very
average, nothing special and full of
virtual unknowns as most never did
anything else with their career in the
business.
The two leads Bruce Kimball and Adam
Lawrence seems to pull their parts
off not too bad as tough detectives.
Douglas Gudbye tries his best to
pull off a strange type of drive in
employee cleaning litter but really
overly does it.
Newton Naushaus is one of the best
actors in the film as an obnoxious drive
in owner and shows nice aggressions to
his part in the film.
Supporting actress Valdesta
briefly shows her breasts while her
shirt is unbuttoned and her bra taken off
in a car at night.
This is definetely
a gorefest.
We have some bloodied chopped off heads
showing the remains of the bodies
Gruesome slit throats
A sword being stabbed through people
The directing by
Stu Segall is badly done and doesn't
make it realistic enough plus the picture
quality looks too dark when it's night
time at the drive in but that;s due to a
badly made budget.
There's a dialgoue scene with actors Bruce
Kimball and Adam Lawrence confronting
Douglas Gudbye at the drive in
during the daytime about the murder that
happened the night before which is not
the least bit convincing like it was
supposed to be.
He does show some interesting
slayings on people at the drive in which
looks dark and should please slasher
fans.
There's
a stiff dialogue between the two small
actors Marty Gatsby and
Patricia James when they have a
frusterating conversation in their car
but it seems to work in the film. There's
a nice shot on them making out and
supporting actor Michael Alden is
peeking at them through a window as it
makes the scene very convincing that the
terror is going to take place.
Newton Naushaus shows excellent
aggression when he is being questioned
about the killings.
There's a good shot on supporting actors
Verkina Flower and her real life
uncredited father George Buck Flower
in a warehouse when he is holding her
with a machette but Verkina is
too overboard with her frightened actions
and it looks way too melodramatic.
The music has
cheesy and stale synthesizer playing but
yet it sounds very creepy and deep when a
murder is about to take place.
