this be about as bad a it get and even for mega low budget semi independently produce 1970 american make horror . how this film develop a cult follow be beyond me and and i like stuff such a this . the plot represent a maniac be run loose decapitate people with a handy sword and knife collection at a small town california drive in . the end . or rather and that be the end of it . for some reason this film conclusion be not present on the version i manage to buy for about thirty cent . in place of what should have be a violent and see it all before conclusion to yet another psycho killer movie and you get the come attraction reel for the film an idea that have merit ( if it have be plan that way ) since the movie be set in a drive in and all . i be actually sit there between beer five and six hoping that the trailer would suddenly snap forward in time to the end of the movie and finish what have be start . that would have be clever and and anybody plumbing for plot idea here can go bale on it for their script and no charge . but drive in massacre be not that kind of a film . this be a movie with fat cop syndrome ( two of them and actually and with one in drag for a while and i kid you not ) and a pink shirt sex pervert who have girlie magazine centerfold pin to the wall of his living room ( presumably to comfort audience member who may be afraid he be gay ) and a second murdering loon who shout come here little girl so loudly and so often that we have to turn it down l the neighbor think we be enjoy it ( turn out he her father and how charming ) and and for about fifteen minute the movie try to develop tension by have a repeat high pitch tick sound clatter on and on and on to the point where you start look around the room wonder what the heck that noise be and and how do i stop it . everything about this movie be wrong and except one thing represent it be appropriately cheap and lurid and and sleazy lookin . the nudity and sexual content be exploitative and unredeemed by anything that come after it and the decapitation be actually very well handle and and i like the polyester pant suit mid 1970 look and right down to the mod design on the upholstery . but the film doesn not know what it want to do with it look and squanders whatever potential be there by be stupid and boring and not have a conclude scene that wrap it all up . the movie just sort of end and a common trait amongst low budget 1970 american produce horror that should not have be make in the first place . and even at 78 minute it way too long and the pacing be wrong and and i felt silly afterward for have suggest view the thing . and remember and i be the guy who like death ship . two word represent skip it .
