Was surprised to see it listed used for $4.98 and bought it immediately. Was even more surprised to see that it was also autographed by the director! Had two sleeves in the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars drive inn masterpiece.

One of my favorite slashers , gives you a small window into the 1970s drive inn .Now an empty lot the drive inn where this was filmed is now only a memory , however being the drive inn where the one of the last remaining prints was found gives this little gem a little more nostalgic feel . To think of the premier night at the very drive inn(Sky view drive inn) where the movie you are about to watch was filmed , wow. (Wish i could have been there). If you have seen previous transfers of Drive inn massacre you know how crappy and dark the movie was , well not here .Severin has cleaned and corrected the flaws in this movie like few i have seen. For a movie now 40 years old it looks like it was made yesterday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, schlocky, 70's horror fun

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

DRIVE-IN MASSACRE is one of those cult classic titles I always heard about but never got the chance to see. Thankfully, Severin and CAV got together recently to release it on Blu-ray. I sure wish I’d seen it back in the day, though; this would have been right up my alley…even with as schlocky as it actually is.

Sure, by today’s standards the film is very tame. But back then, I’m sure it was just as horrifying as TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and JAWS. Not to mention it was one of the earliest slashers in 70’s horror, coming out well before Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees. As such, this iconic, albeit trashy, horror flick deserves a spot in every horror fan’s library.

Just so you know what you’re getting into, DRIVE-IN MASSACRE is one of those so-bad-it’s-good movies. The special effects are cheesy, the acting is mediocre, and the storyline throws plenty of red herrings at you. But all of these attributes help make for an entertaining viewing experience.

The film is shot decently, however the cinematography is only used to tell the story. The HD restoration is ok, however there are still many grainy shots throughout the film. I know this has to do with the original film negative, but I feel it worthy of mentioning nonetheless. The sound quality is not very good. I had a hard time trying to make out what some of the characters were saying, even with my surround sound cranked. Once again, the restoration is only as good as its original source material, so I don’t think this has much to do with the Blu-ray itself.

As mentioned above, the acting in DRIVE-IN MASSACRE is very vanilla. Nobody gives a downright sucky performance, however I don’t think any of the cast will be winning any awards for their performances, either.

The special effects, although blatantly obvious, actually do a pretty good job of conveying a sense of horror to each situation. We see a couple of decapitations, although each only has a smattering of blood to accompany it. Anybody who has taken high school biology knows that a severed head would bring about serious geysers of crimson, therefore it’s hard to take these shots seriously. But at least they don’t look like cheap, Halloween effects.

Despite its shortcomings, DRIVE-IN MASSACRE is still a lot of fun to watch. It’s a short horror film, clocking in at about 74 minutes, but it still offers an entertaining ride. I didn’t see the ending coming (although it infuriated me), so the “unknown” aspect still has weight here as well. I recommend giving this film a look, particularly for those interested in pre-mainstream slasher flicks. DRIVE-IN MASSACRE is available now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't finish

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021

I was excited to watch this movie because I love campy cult slashers. But the fact the mics were so bad and couldn't hear what they were saying and acting was so horrible I was sad I couldn't finish the movie . Movies like sleepaway camps are better production, this was garbabe .
