Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Killings are happening at a Drive-in , located somewhere in California. The police have three suspects who are quite the characters making this into a cheese/camp film.The killing is all done by someone who sneaks in a sword and is able to walk around the drive-in with one. The original quality of the film was never good. It is about a D+ on most DVDs. Consider a Blu-Ray if you desire B quality for a B film.The film was designed to show at Drive-ins to create a false idea that there is a killer stalking couples at said place.Guide: Brief nudity (Janus Blythe plus centerfolds on the wall)

Okay, if you only like watching good cinema than this one isn't for you. It has no real value to it save as a time capsule movie and for unintentional hilarity. The movie itself is set as a slasher/whodunit hybrid where two utterly incompetent detectives are trying to find out who is murdering couples making out at drive-ins. Most of their investigative time is spent talking to the despicable and belligerent manager and 'Germy' the janitor as well as a spot of cross-dressing and interrogating patrons of the drive-in. There is also a boring sub-plot about the owner moving away. Well, the movie drags on for a little over an hour and still feels long at that point and either the film ran out of cash or the screenwriter wrote himself into a hole and credits role with the case going unsolved and a cheap scare announcement that there's a murderer on the loose in 'YOUR DRIVE-IN.'While the movie would be watchable with MST3k, Rifftrax, or Cinematic Titanic commentary it's boring and tedious unless you've got a lot of beer and/or a few friends with you. It does have one thing going for it though, it makes me pine for the days of watching movies at a drive- in or second run theater.

Do you like movies about questioning two losers? How about a couple of fatass cops sleepwalking their way through a film? What about endings that confirm the last 74 minutes of your life were totally wasted? Well then you'll love "Drive-In Massacre". Someone is murdering patrons of a Los Angeles drive-in with a sword. That's it. Yet this movie treats you to the minutiae of police work including extended questioning scenes of functional retard Germy and creep Orville who just wants to "beat his meat". Sound like a blast so far? Well hang on to your hats as Det. Mike and Det. John also talk to the world's biggest azzhole drive-in manager Austin Johnson who hates, and I mean HATES, everyone. The plot stumbles in circles like a drunk on a tilt-a-whirl with one meaningless scene after the other. This movie becomes fixated on the most mundane nonsense like a stupid argument between a philanderer and his girlfriend that wears a curly wig or questioning (again?) Germy at the "police station" with both the detectives desks next to each other like a couple of grade schoolers. Stu Segall hyper-focuses on these scenes like he's filming the return of Christ. Another major complaint is the various evening shots are so dark you might as well close your eyes and imagine whatever you want. I pretended that I was watching a better movie. Partially written by George "Buck" Flower who appears late in the movie as a machete wielding nut that bears no connection to the plot. He just sorta pops in to fill up running time like a carnival scene with Germy recollecting what the detectives have said to him. Woo hoo! Buck and John Goff (billed as Jake Barnes because he was probably embarrassed) worked together in Bill Rebane's "The Alpha Incident" which looks like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" compared to this crap. Mr. Flower even manages to cast his daughter Verkina in the crucial role of girl in warehouse somehow getting billing over Newton Naushaus who has far more screen time as the prick drive-in manager. This is the fiftieth and last movie in the "Chilling Classics" collection and boy did this thing end like it began. Appallingly awful waste of time.

Right, what to say about the "Drive in Massacre". Well, lets start with bad acting, on which we can go to poor direction and from that we can jump right to terrible soundtrack and we can even lace the whole thing with poorly done script. And that's what I can say about the movie.This is one of those b-films which feel like they don't go anywhere, and this certainly something that is accurate about this one. There's some murders in the drive in, yet nothing is done with them even tough the film supposedly revolves around solving the case, yet it really didn't feel like it. And the film even managed to feel too long.So avoid, if you can. It really wasn't even funny in a purely bad way..
