With Drive Back, Cody Ashford takes a familiar story, and steers it into Hellish new directions with entertaining results. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 12/28/2024
Drive Back is a simple yet effective suspense film with horror elements. It’s one that requires attention be paid to be enjoyed while this attention can backfire on it at times. Go to Full Review

Ultimately, Drive Back delivers some horror highlights, but it’s not a satisfying whole. Go to Full Review

Jay L @Jay.Livin 4d The writing for this movie is all over the place but in a good way. At first I didn’t know if I was going to enjoy it but halfway through my eyes were glued to the screen because I genuinely didn’t know what would happen next. See more C V @RT19114471 Aug 18 Genuinely the most rage-inducing movie I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through for a grueling and painful 94 minutes of my life that I will never get back. Where do I start? The first half hour of the movie started off great, and I thought they were actually gonna do something interesting and COHESIVE with the plot, but after that first 30 minutes, the movie completely goes off the rails with the absurdity and nonsensical looping, by the hour mark it just started to get so fucking ridiculous. Absolutely no cohesion, I get what they were trying to do with the timeline and linking certain events together, but after they started reversing the wife just goes completely batshit insane accusing the husband of being a murderer. This is the point where cohesion absolutely went out the window. And the ending? Makes absolutely no fucking sense. Such stupid decisions by the main protagonists, did i also mention theyre extremely unlikeable? By the last 20 mins i wanted everyone dead. See more Tyler N @RT33166214 Aug 17 The beginning and the middle are way better than the last third of the movie. You could just watch those parts over and over again and you would be happier. They did manage to pull off something somewhat entertaining with a very low budget so that’s cool. Next time, please do a little less with the story and up the suspense and it will be four-star material. But still a decent movie. See more Jacob H @FilmGeek98 Mar 3 Back to the future meets groundhogs day….interesting but not groundbreaking by any means. See more Dean S. @DeanDFW Dec 28 So many twist. And that ending? OMG! See more e l @RT12611919 Dec 18 This is a great movie, worth watching at least twice. The movie explores a couple's unresolved conflicts and has enough scary stuff and enough psychological horror stuff that it really delivers. The plot is great because it is not explicitly explained - it lets you come up with your own interpretations of what it means. The fact that the couple keeps SPOILER ALERT meeting different versions of themselves throughout the film is actually really interesting. Their car also has different versions - one is new, another is old and rusted down. Some versions have gas, others don't. Some versions of themselves are good, some are evil, and you don't know which ones are "real." Maybe all of the versions of each of them is real. The best part of the movie is SPOILER ALERT when Reid defends Olivia from one evil version of himself and says to him: "I am not you!" I loved that part. I also love SPOILER ALERT when he meets his daughter. Great movie! I watched it twice and will likely watch it again. See more Read all reviews
