That was an excellent one.

Strong and Moving!

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I'll always have a soft spot for this movie. An obscure horror film made in America in the 70s and set in a drive in. Whats not to like?Could it be the mentally challenged employee there called Germy who could be the killer? Or the local sex pest we see the cops interview? ('I didn't do anything wrong! I was just at the drive in to beat my meat!')Yes, its slow in places, yes there are obvious filler scenes to pad out the running time. But its full of character and is pretty scary.I first saw this on VHS and then DVD in the 80s and both released through VIPCO. It was the worst print used for a transfer EVER. The film is now on Blu ray through Severin Films and looks amazing after a long lost print was found, where else, but in an abandoned drive in. Life imitates life. Or something.

The movie is awful, cheesy but kinda fun to watch. It's better than I expected it to be - I thought it might have been a grindhouse style of film but it's not. It's a slasher, bloody but not a lot of that going on... it's main focus is on two cops trying to solve the murders! The best thing about the film are the two cops who could pass as brothers! Really, their facial features look similar to one another and similar build to their bodies.. only real difference is one is slightly shorter than the other!! I could see these two in a spin off 1970s TV show playing the same two cops and still solving murders. LOL! It's not a film to seek out - even for a die-hard horror fan - but it is an OK watch if you happen to catch it on one night or acquire it in a film pack as I did.3/10

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.

A very weak and way below any kind of budget. Drive-in movie fare. While drive-in moviegoers are hugging, smooching and backseat bouncing, a lunatic is randomly picking victims to slash, dismember and kill. The drive-in is built on the former grounds of a circus and is being managed by former circus knife handler(Newton Naushaus)and his grounds keeper is the former sword swollower (Douglas Gudbye). Two dim-witted detectives(Jake Barnes and Adam Lawrence)are assigned to investigate and realize the weapon of choice seems to be an antique sword. Hard to find anything redeemable. Nothing frightening or scary. Some of the situations end up being comical. Also listed as players: Verkina Flowers, Marty Gatsby, Patrica James and Norman Sherlock.
