Drive Thru (2007)

Some kids go to a drive thru and get abuse and insults from the speaker. Once they venture inside they are killed by some guy in a punk clown suit. The burger joint is clown-themed for some reason.Later we meet the lovely Mackenzie and her dumb friends as they play the Ouija board. And little by little friends and acquaintances of her start dying. The cops investigating are one tough chick of course and one fat dumb guy, of course. They don't know what's going on. Until Mackenzie's mom tells her of something she and her friend did to the son of the burger joint owner.As much as I love 80s slashers, Drive Thru just doesn't cut it. It's gory, it has the lovely Leighton Meester and Melora Hardin, who are the only two who can act. The rest of the cast gives pretty embarrassing performances. But the direction and especially the editing are poor. Music also is a bit annoying, as much as I like metal. This type of story has been told many times so it's nothing particularly new and actually the explanation of everything comes a bit out of nowhere. The whole clown-motif is getting tired and pointless. Had the directors taken a serious approach instead of the goofy comedy approach and added some nudity, Drive Thru could have been a decent horror movie.

The clown costume for the crazy killer was actually pretty awesome. It would surprise me if I saw someone in it at Halloween time. The acting was nothing great but it wasn't the worst I've seen either. The teenagers in the movie seemed to be fun loving teenagers instead of completely riddled with angst. The plot was similar to Nightmare on Elm Street in which the parents did something the kids are getting punished for...but I won't reveal any details or spoilers.I did laugh at the first two victims that were white guys pretending to be ghetto. I don't know if the actors meant to be ridiculous or not, but they were and it was funny. Overall, there was plenty of gore and jump out scares, but nothing that would get the mind going...but that wasn't the point of the movie. I don't think it is going to be a classic anytime soon.

Drive Thru is one of the top 5 horror movies of all time in my book. Everything comes together so well - the fast paced action, the subtle political innuendos, and the suspenseful plot twists are all perfectly balanced to create the ideal horror movie experience.The actors all play their roles to perfection - Jan and Hunter from the office!!! - and the soundtrack is nothing short of spectacular. The character meet their deaths in a widely entertaining variety of ways (mostly involving a clown with an axe).The guy from Supersize Me makes a highly ironic cameo as a fast food cashier, which was a great creative casting twist.SPOILER ALERT!! Snape kills Dumbledore!You will be left speechless at the end of the movie, which has a twist of a magnitude unheard of since the Sixth Sense. I am anxiously awaiting the sequel, Drive Thru 2 starring Keanu Reeves.

I love bad horror movies the crappier the better so that is why i love this movie. It's right up there with Bloodsucking Babes from Burbank, or Jackhammer Massacre or Killer Klowns from Outer Space or even Prehistoric Bimbos in Armageddon City. You cant sit down to this movie and think its gonna be Scarface or something you gotta sit down and think it's as bad as Citizen Kane. But all in all it is a good movie with mindless killing and a killer Clown. The story is awesome it's like Prom Night or Terror Train or Dead Above Ground its a revenge type movie were somebody dies and comes back to kill the kids of the people that killed him. I quite enjoyed it and i cant wait for the squeal.
