With Drive Back, Cody Ashford takes a familiar story, and steers it into Hellish new directions with entertaining results.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

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.

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

This is a slightly neat, unexpected concept executed in a haphazard way.

It was okay. I would have rated it higher if the timeloop didn't drag on. I am not thrilled with the ending, but it did lend a good twist. It's not that bad, though.

The writing was too crazy, so hard to follow, but also frustrating how the characters keep forgetting things it’s annoying

Confused time loop yarn which they don't care to make clear. Lots of yelling and stabbing and not remembering but little sense. I won't spoint the end but if it's what I think it was it also doesn't make much sense. Can't fault the cast -they did everything they could do with this mess of a script.

more bad decisions by these people. this story was written by millennials or gen z because nobody does these things. all in all not a bad story but kinda unsatisfying because of the stupid. the male is kind of a sissy and his baby momma F's others so she's a whore. a groundhog day story with a ghosty line. meh, it wouldn't be the worst way to waste 90 minutes.

Limited genre in terms of creative freedom that can make it “good”. I love these types of time loop movies but this one failed to deliver. A lot of it was predictable or illogical. The lead actress was either meant to be extremely unlikeable or was just a bad actress.

Strong Horror Energy With A Shaky Story. ‘Drive Back’ is effective enough to warrant a watch. But keep your expectations in check.
