Sean McGeady Radio Times Aug 17, 2024
2/5
Those who respect their time are advised to steer clear; but die-hard film freaks, may get some mileage from Drive-in Massacre's trashy atmosphere, crazed turn from genre icon George "Buck" Flower and inspired gimmick ending. Go to Full Review

2/4
This offers a few gory kills in between countless scenes of two hefty cops trying to ascertain (via mucho mumbling) who's hanging out at the local drive-in theater garroting unsuspecting customers with a sword. Go to Full Review

Steve D @RT35616104 Aug 10, 2023 Proto slasher good at slashing not at character. See more Carlos I @carlosFibarra Feb 3, 2023 Tres schlocky, but what can you expect from a Grindhouse flick like this?! The acting is horrendous, and the special effects are a bit groan-worthy, but I still had quite a bit of fun with it. See more justin t @RT08580778 Feb 16, 2022 Oh dear this is bad. I don't know if it was the lighting or the transfer but it looked terrible and the dialogue sounded rubbish. It had potential but that was crushed very quickly. Bad acting with the odd funny bit and obvious mistakes. Thankfully extremely short but even so definitely not worth watching. Big-budget film fans should stay very well clear, low-budget film fans should also avoid! See more andy f @RT81936104 Oct 8, 2016 There are plenty of B movie gems out there, sadly this isn't one of them. Has the odd moment of horror inventiveness but 70s glorious kitsch aside this one is mainly very forgettable. See more Sep 26, 2014 75% "That's a lie! I couldn't do that, I just wanted to beat my meat!-Orville (Norman Sherlock) See more May 13, 2014 This movie has some high points, but it could have been so much better. First it has some good blood and gore, good mystery, and then a great ending. But on the other hand, the acting isn't great, and neither is the cinematography. Overall, it's an okay movie.
