Dead-End Directing

15 years ago at May 3 8:14
The premise has promise, but this parable gets sidetracked with unnecessary, just-short-of-random chase scenes and overly stereotypical characters. Perversely, the less central the character, the better the acting in this flick. And this movie actually gets worse when you listen to the director's commentary. The director is quite self-congratulatory about the deep insights he has about the haves, ... read more

Okay, first of all who the hell is that guy on the poster? I don't remember seeing him in the movie. Is he there to insinuate that this is a scary teen-horror flick? If so, that's some damn false advertising right there.

Anyhoo, I thought this movie would deliver some late-night popcorn fun, but not much happens in this post-apocalyptic world. It's kind of like a group of prepubescen... read more

In the future, a health nut and his tag-along girlfriend become trapped in a drive-in theater that has become a concentration camp for outcast youths, who are placated with new wave music, junk food, drugs, exploitation movies, and racism.

"Reason for the future sucking: Nuclear war takes place, and teens, punks, and other social rejects, in put into a camp, which was once a drive in. Year it takes place: The near future."

"17.4. Brian Trenchard-Smithin ozploitaatiossa yläluokka haluaa pistää nuorison kuriin jonkinlaisessa post-apokalyptisessa Australiassa. Tyhjän panttina norkoilevat työttömät luuserit houkutellaan alennuslipuilla drive-in -elokuviin, mutta leffan aikana autoista poistetaan renkaat eikä alueelta saa poistua. Elokuva itse tuntuu markkinoivan tätä keskitysleirinä, mutta kyse on enemmän tarkoituksellisesta köyhien slummin luomisesta, josta pois kipuaminen on asukkaille mahdotonta yhteis"

Movies I Watched in June 2021 (31 movies items)

" Date: 6/25/2021 Viewed: Blu-ray (Arrow Video) Re-watch Note: I was looking for a movie to watch on a Friday night and Dead End Drive-In seems like the perfect choice. 35 years later and Dead End Drive-In is still an awesome movie in my opinion. What I love about this film is its aesthetics. Dead End Drive-In has everything that you would find in a movie from the 1980s. You have bright neon lights, a synth-wave soundtrack, a story that set in a dystopian future, and kick-ass action sequences."

"In the near future, the economy has collapsed and massive crime waves sweep the inner cities of the world. In an attempt to control the crime-wave, a chain of drive-in theatres are turned into concentration camps for the undesirable and unemployed youth. Jimmy, a young health nut who is nicknamed Crabs, sneaks off with his brother's vintage 1956 Chevy to take his girlfriend, Carmen, to the local Star Drive-In. He doesn't know that he will be unable to leave the place after the wheels of the car "

Moviewatcher122's 2017 Film Diary: April (15 movies items)

"April 12 This wasn't quite what I was expecting it to be, but I still ended up enjoying it. Going into it I thought it would be a horror movie. It even looks and sounds like a horror movie, but it really isn't. There's nothing really scary about it and it's more of a Mad Max style movie, but me being a huge Mad Max fan, it's a style that I welcome. It pays homage to the series well enough without feeling like a full-on rip-off while also being fun in it's own right. It's an enjoyable movie an"
