Drive In Massacre (1977)

There's a serial killer with a sword on the loose in the drive in.  You've got to give them credit for having a kill in the first seven minutes of the film.  You'd think that would make things exciting, but it's pretty slow moving.

There's really not much going on in this film.  A couple of overweight cops wander around trying to find the killer.  There's a pervert in the bushes watching couples make out.  People drive around to try to find a place to park.  There's lots more padding in this film plus there's a character called Germy.  Yup, that about sums it up.

Oh except I should add that once word gets out that there is a killer stalking the drive in, their attendance actually goes up rather than down.  Don't know about you, but if there's a known killer stalking a certain place, I'm staying away from that location.

My favorite scene had to be when cops killed a little girls father and the girl questioned them.  I'm paraphrasing here, but it was basically the following interaction:

Little Girl: Did you have to kill him?
Police: Yes, he killed a lot of people.
Little Girl:  He just got out of the hospital yesterday.
Police: Ooops!

There's no real ending to the movie.  It was cool to see footage shot in a drive in though.
