Instant CULT CLASSIC!!!

YES!! Finally, Funny and Scary in the same movie...OLD SKOOL. OK boyzand girlz, here's the deal: If you don't like this movie you are notcore. Yes, you see it all coming and it's familiar territory, but THATIS THE POINT. They obviously went out to make an 80's slasher, but it'show they do it that makes this thing rock. See 4 yourself and tell meHorny isn't the coolest killer to hack up some teens in years! Unrealcostume, hilarious, total bad ass. THE MUSIC ROCKS!!! You will laughyour ass off. The gore is solid and the kills are fresh. Am I missingsomething here? The chicks are hot, but AMAZINGLY we see almost no skin(which is why I didn't give it a 10) Watching it again right now...

Much potential, little deliverance

This review is from: Drive Thru (DVD) The synopsis was pretty good and I'm a fan of slasher movies, so this seemed like something I'd like. Eh....it was oooooook. It could have been a lot better though. I'd say, if you're looking to pick this one up it's iffy so don't pay more than like 5.00 for it, that way you don't feel like you've lost out too much if you end up hating it.

Hella Burger is Hella Good!

Initially, I did not have a good feeling about this film. Two whiteboys talking like they were ganstas turns me off.However, it really turned out to be a good movie.First, the lines throughout the film were really funny. They referenceda lot of things that were familiar and were delivered spot on by somereally good acting featuring Leighton Meester, Nicholas D'Agosto, LolaGlaudini from "Criminal Minds", Melora Hardin, Trudy from "Monk, and mypersonal favorite, Larry Joe Campbell from "According to Jim", asDetective Crackers.Secondly, it had a really good story that made a lot of sense.It wasn't particularly gory, but had plenty of blood. The only thing itwas missing was a horror staple - breasts.If you like horror, you really need to check this one out.

I could tell straight off...

This was about to be one of the most awesomely sh1tty movies ever made.Your generic, run of the mill, horror movie plot - dumb partying teens,the evil clown, and that one dude from Heroes that I hate. But theacting was really pretty acceptable and the script wasn't nearly as badas you'd think. There was some sort of weird, political subtext thatwas a bit obnoxious, but it didn't seem to hurt things too badly. Thebeginning was a bit "Malibu's Most Wanted" for my taste, (ie reallydumb wigger jokes) but that passed. All in all, it has some awesomelycheesy moments, and I'd say this is a must see for all fans of reallybad horror movies.

Horny is KILLER!

Horny The Clown is the mascot for a burger chain and he's starting toget a taste for raw meat. Meanwhile Mackenzie Carpenter is a teenagerwho thinks her biggest problem is dying of boredom in the urbanwasteland of Orange County. That is until her classmates start dying ofblood loss and Horny the Clown begins stalking her with crypticmessages left in 70's kitsch toys! As you can tell this isn't yourstraight forward slasher flick. Filled with irony and general sadistichumor, Drive Thru does for fast food what The Gingerdead Man did forpastries! I guess the moral of the movie is that fast food can kill you(yeah I know how bad that joke was, sorry) It's a little rough aroundthe edges, but what it does well, it does REALLY WELL. I think we'll beseeing more of Horny the Clown. At least let's hope so.

A Fun Horror Movie!

Ok what is with all the bad reviews for this movie? Does no one have a sense of humor anymore?Mackenzie (Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester) finds herself to be one of the many targeted kills of Horny the clown. Since he only communicates with her through innocent childhood toys, its up to her to save his next possible victims- and ultimately herself. This is not a serious horror movie. And its not MEANT to be a serious horror movie. That fact is made blatantly clear with the plot: A knife wielding clown? Named HORNY? But that doesn't take away from the overall fun of the movie! If you liked the horror movies of yesteryear, this movie is a really good homage using plot devices from Nightmare on Elm Street, Carrie, IT, Chucky... plus there's some good comic relief sprinkled throughout the film as well. The acting is definitely NOT bad. The woman who played Mackenzie's mother made me cringe a few times, but besides that, I think they all did a pretty good job with what they were given!So bottom line: If you're looking to watch a serious horror movie, I would stick to Stephen King. If you're into kitch and stupid/funny horror (like me), then you'll like this.

Was this movie suppose to be awful on purpose?

Hands down one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Now,why did I even watch it? Because the description of the movie soundedso awful, I thought I would watch it for a laugh. I found the movie oncomcast free movies on demand. I should have known what I was gettingmyself into. I never even heard of the movie before, even though itcame out this past year. Anyways, the movie was more than laughablybad, it was painful to watch. For one thing, the story line sounds likeit was written by a 10 year old. The storyline is so awful andpredictable. You'll probably predict the whole thing before the movieis even half over. The acting is even worse. Some of the worst acting Ihave ever seen. You will hate the characters guts; luckily most of themget killed. I just wish it were all of them but most is almost goodenough. The characters are basically a bunch of obnoxious, trashyteenagers with sewer mouths. Seeing them die is the best part about thefilm. Really, the movie's plot overall is about some murderous clownkilling certain people when they show up at his restaurant. His namewill make you laugh, it's Horny the clown. Oh and you have to hear thereason why the clown was killing a certain select of teenagers...Apparently the murderous clown once lived a normal life. He was asocial outcast who was bullied and it was by all the murder victimsparents, yeah that's right. The clown wanted to kill all of thechildren of the parents who made fun of him when they went to highschool together. So, the clown at one time was some poor, sadistic,pathetic loser. Oh, poor boy. I almost felt sorry for him... Not! Itgets better. The mother of the main character was the one the clown hada crush on. So he wants to kill her daughter on her 18th birthday andhere's another reason. The poor kid was killed by a fire by the maincharacter's friends; yes the parents of the murder victims killed himon his 18th birthday. Or was he killed? I think you can figure it out.The plot to this movie makes Lifetime movie plots look like academyaward winners. I mean, I find it funny that they actually tried to adda plot to a horribly directed movie such as this one. The moviewouldn't have been any worse without a storyline. In fact it might havebeen better.Overall the movie is about as bad as it gets. It's even suppose to be ahorror movie which is about as scary as Dora the Explorer. The moviewill have a lot of blood which of course looks so fake. Really, thismovie looks like one that was made by a local high school. Really, itwouldn't make any difference in the quality. My main warning overall isavoid this movie like the plague. It's beyond "so bad, it's funny".It's under the category "so bad, it's painful."

Drive Thru (2007) Leighton Meester

Drive Thru (2007) story revolves around a high school student who werea chased by a clown murderer and became victim of continuous murder ofpeople connected to her.Leighton Meester really did well in this movie, the acting, thedifferent approached, I did saw Mackenzy Carpenter in this film notBlaire Waldorf.She contribute a lot in this film, she carried this film for people towatched. She's damn good.The rest of the actor went UN-noticeable.The story wasn't good, I think it was just a redundant movie. Same oldflick.I don't think there's no point or connection why the killer givingclues to Mackenzy, how are they connected.The suspense wasn't thrilling enough except for those who wereCoulrophobia, it might be effective.I must also say the script was poor.Its good that they main cast Leighton Meester.All praises goes to her.+++

What the hell!

What a ridiculous film! This movie is so bad I can't believe I wasdaring enough to see it until the end! But it was hard! Do you knowwhen you start watching a movie and in the first 4/5 minutes you startasking yourself: "why doesn't it end right now?" Yes that's right, thisfilm "stunk" from the very first minute… The psycho character is ridiculous! I mean, what stupid clown suit isthat? The plot is pathetic! One of the silliest I've seen the last times! The acting is bad! I know it's a B-series movie (or is it a Z-seriesone instead?) but the acting could be much better. The "special effects" are lame. I know it was a low cost production,but even so! The all main idea of using a clown and the "fast-food setting" isabsurd, ridiculous…If it's supposed to be funny or spoofing it justspoofs itself! Fast food doesn't kill but this film does….of boredom!

avoid this movie at all costs

I dont know how, i just seemed to be drawn into renting the worst movies anyone can possibly find.Clowns are a good way to scare people, they don't scare me personally, but movies like "IT" and other horror movies about clowns can freak some people out just by them being dressed as a clown.However, this clown is like something you would see in a stupid episode of Power Rangers. And it's not even a movie thats like so bad it's funny, this one is just so bad it's pathetic.So the opening scene you see some white kid's trying to be homie boy gangstas saying the stupidest dialog possibly imaginable, they drive to a drive through acting like morons and end up being killed by the spice-girl-shoe wearing clown.Then a girl has a party, gets stoned with her friends, a uigi board, a license plate, a killer after them.... blurgh, you've scene the plot before, however done much better then they did for this p.o.s.The acting is terrible, the bad guy is stupid, the cop is annoying, just avoid this movie, take my word on it, you will never regret never have seeing this p.o.s.I turned it off halfway through it was so bad, being an AC/DC fan I am sick to death of these stupid movies that make out like AC/DC was a band people only listened to in the 70's, and hearing the main character playing something backwards that was supposed to be Highway To Hell to hear 7 messages from Satan.... enough said... that Cliché is dead ok, come back to reality and realize heard rock is about the only form of music that has never died out and surpassed every genre there is.And the clown costume, ohhhhhh, soooooooooo scary... congratulations on killing off the scary clown image for anyone who sees this piece of s...garbage.Avoid it, it's the worst movie I've seen this year. Next time make a movie that has a title that actually has anything to do with the whole movie other then the first 5 minutes of it.Bonus Features: who cares.

definitely fun!

I had a blast watching this movie. It had good horror movie elements, good gore, decent performances. The villain looked awesome and the sleeziness of those "hellaburger" commercials was priceless. Anyone who enjoys slasher films should have fun with this.

A Fun slasher movie ( I loved that clown very creepy)

I have been putting off seeing this movie as it sound a bit poor but Iam clad that I decided too check IT out as I do enjoy slasher movieslike this.Plot:Horror gets Super Sized when Horny The Clown, the demonic mascotof "Hella-Burger," starts slashing Orange County teenagers with hismeat cleaver from Hell.I really enjoyed watching this movie very much, I really like thekiller Clown mask that was really creepy and bit scary However thekiller voice did sound a lot like Ghost-face from scream series.I also liked some of the gory death scenes in this movie and they didmake some of the deaths scenes really funny at same time and acting isokay for a movie like this.This movie is a lot of fun to watch with friends if you are staying inon a Saturday night.I going to give this movie 6 out of 10

Horny is one truly twisted "Homicidal Ronald McDonald" with one big meat cleaver!

I didn't actually know about this movie until I came accross it on "On Demand. Once I read the description and noticed that not only does it feature a psychotic,teen-slashing clown but also his name is "Horny the Clown" well that's when I came to the following 2 conclusions 1)I laughed hysterically at the idea, and 2)I'm there Dude! So anyway needless to say this movie was a quick sell with me, simply because I thought it was unique to see both a psychotic killer clown but also his original and unique ways of giving the main character Mackenzie hidden clues as to who's next!(the ouija board,the magic 8-ball, and the etcha-sketch) What made this movie enjoyable in particular besides Leighton Meester being one super-smokin' mad HOTTIE is how it's reminiscent to me of the 80's slashers that I grew up with.(Friday the 13th,Halloween,A Nightmare on Elm Street.You know the ones!) Such great franchises they've proven to be over the years. With some bad sequels attached! Also Horny is just plain funny! Since everyone else here at Amazon have done some great reviews already all that leaves me with is: The chase scenes with Horny the Clown coming after Leighter Meester were indeed suspenseful, Horny's line where he shouts " You're my girlfriend now, and I'm horny!" cracks me up every time! Also it felt like a fond tribute to "The Funhouse" when Horny kills that snob couple in the funhouse/trick mirrors scene! That scene where one of Mackenzie's friends get her head nuked through the bottum of a microwave was one incomparably clever murder scene! My only criticizisms of this movie are that dreadful and annoying not to mention intrusive metal music and that whole unexplained thing with Horny possessing supernatural/demonic powers! Other than that definitely watch this movie for that sweet Hottie Leighton Meester and of course Horny the Clown! And dare I say "It's Hella Good!"

Highly underrated effort

"Drive-Thru" is an incredibly fun and enjoyable slasher with some goodpoints to it.**SPOILERS**Finally graduating college, Mackenzie Carpenter, (Leighton Meester)Fischer Kent, (Nicholas D'Agosto) Val Espinoza, (Sita Young) Starfire,(Rachael Bella) and Van, (Penn Badgley) are worried that a stalker isafter them following a series of weird messages. Ignoring them atfirst, it soon dawns on them that something weird is going on as themessages are clues found at the scenes of a rash of disappearances oflocal kids around town, which Detective Brenda Chase, (Lola Glaudini)and Detective Dwayne Crockers, (Larry Joe Campbell) are unable tosolve. When her mother Marcia Campbell, (Melora Hardin) comes forwardadmitting they are the children of a group of friends when she wasyounger who pulled a prank on the owner of the local burger chain, theyfigure his son is out for revenge and race to stop the clown-maskedkiller from carrying out his deadly plans.The Good News: This here was an incredibly and enjoyable slasher with alot to like about it. One of the best features to this is theincredible clown mask for the killer. While clown-masks in general arequite creepy and definitely unnerving, this one is one of, if not thevery best one in the long and storied history, even considering theothers it's up against. With it's colorful appearance, intricatedesign, flaming hair and demonic grin, complete with the voice boxreminiscent of the kind on actual order-boxes at the restaurants aroundall work together to create a really impressive clown mask that ishighly enjoyable and definitely a little unnerving. There's also somecomedy to be had from it's lines when killing, despite some failing orfeeling clichéd they're still fun and add to the film's enjoyment. Thefact that the kills are also really good is another factor, as this onehas a really nice collection on display. There's a machete thrown intothe face, a body sliced in half at the waist, which isn't known untillater on when they try to move, when the actual gag is shown, anotherone is sliced repeatedly in the face, one is set on fire, an ax slammedinto the back of the head and another where a victim is dunked into adeep-fryer and, when pulled out, the facial skin is melted to the pointwhere it falls off. There's more in here, all of which is done with ahealthy amount of bloodshed and manages to work, making this one a realtreat for those who like their slashers on the bloodier side. Some ofthe stalking scenes work nicely as well, including the glorious one inthe school hallways where, after a tense set-up in the photography labwith the first of many camera gags, out into the hallways through theschool. This is a long, intriguing chase with the right amount ofsuspense, confrontation with the killer and the necessary struggle toget away and hide with the requisite stalking, all coming together in afun scene that's really great. A sequence in a haunted house ride isjust as good, with the creepy setting to begin with, the play-out istense and the gory revelation is handled well within the situation. Theopening in the back of the restaurant is worthwhile as well, and thefinal stalking of the killer in the house is pretty tense as well. Thewhole finale is also really fun, with the confrontation of the killerand the final resolution really scoring here. The last plus here is thefact that this one manages to have a fairly intriguing story to it.Targeting the kids of the perpetrators of a back-fired prank isclichéd, but this one handles it well, as it's nearly to the halfwaypoint that the whole thing is officially revealed, with minor throwawaylines beforehand to set it up nicely and then tied in with theexplanation. That makes it feel really nice, and altogether, these hereare what make the film fun.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot really wrong to this one. One ofthe flaws to it is the incredibly short running time. This one doeswork well with what it's got, the fact is this is one of the films thatcould've used a little more time in order to make it even moreenjoyable. Barely running to the eighty-minute mark is alright, butfrankly, another five minutes or so would've been great, adding alittle more to the chase scenes, enough time for an extra kill or twoor anything else to make it infinitely more enjoyable, since it justfeels a little too short. The only other flaw to this one is theunexplained nature of the supernatural toys. While there's some goodstuff from this plot-line, nothing is really done with it beyond thefew suspense scenes present. It doesn't give whether the killer issupernaturally powered or if they're just figments of her imagination,which would've been the best use of the film being just a littlelonger. These here are the film's only true flaws.The Final Verdict: With some really great stuff to it and a couple ofminor flaws, this one comes off as being rather enjoyable. Give this alook if you're into modern slashers, a fan of the creative cast or afan of the clown-masked killers, otherwise heed caution for this one ifyou're not for any of those.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and drug use

Slasher-Sized

A demonic, homicidal restaurant mascot, a la Ronald McDonald, hacking teenagers into coleslaw. That's right up my alley and sounds like alot of fun. I live for that kinda stuff. Problem is, the film's not quite sure about what it wants to be. Sure, it's certainly got some laugh out loud moments(The Hellaburger tv commercials are great), and I've always loved killers that use horrible puns(when a character finds a dead girl in a freezer, Horny the Clown tells him "she's just chillin'"). The thing I didn't quite care for was that the directors at times seemed liked they actually were trying to make a scary movie. Certain scenes seem to be done for honest to god, ass reaming suspense. That doesn't mix too well considering the many intentionally tongue in cheek scenes we'd already been laughing at. With a plot this silly, you'd might as well go tongue in cheek. After all, it'd be nearly impossible to make a terrifying film about a guy called Horny the Clown. And if you're gonna go tongue in cheek, you'd might as well do it all the way. Also, in between rather quiet scenes of dialogue, the loud blasts of metalcore when the killer attacks will have you constantly monitoring the volume control if you're trying not to wake up the household/apartment building/neighborhood. All in all, not bad for what it is, but it's certainly no Ice Cream Man(but then again, what is?).

Big time Low budget laughs

If you are looking to legitimately being scared this would not be the movie for you. However if you are a fan of the B horror genre then this is right up your alley. The story follows certain teens being terrorized by an axe wielding clown affiliated with a local fast food restaraunt. The clown was tormented as a kid and eventually killed by a prank gone wrong. Now years later he is on a mission to exact revenge on the children of the parents who played the deadly prank on him years ago.There really isn't too much to this movie except a lot of blood, heavy metal, and laughs. I was aware going into it that it would probably be a typical modern slasher flick that is just entertaining due to some terrible acting and over the top gore, and it was. I wouldn't recommend Drive Thru to anyone except those who love low budget B horror.

Drive Thru was wrongfully denied a Golden Globe for best picture!

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 subtlepolitical innuendos, and the suspenseful plot twists are all perfectlybalanced to create the ideal horror movie experience.The actors all play their roles to perfection - Jan and Hunter from theoffice!!! - and the soundtrack is nothing short of spectacular. Thecharacter 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 foodcashier, 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 twistof a magnitude unheard of since the Sixth Sense. I am anxiouslyawaiting the sequel, Drive Thru 2 starring Keanu Reeves.

Delivers Big Laughs and A Few Scares

This review is from: Drive Thru (DVD) This is one of those horror films that works because it is just so hysterical. There are more laughs in this film than in many comedies, and the "cheese factor" of the special effects makes it even more laughable.Leighton Meester is a very likable actress, no matter what she is in, and clearly she delivers in this role as a headstrong teenager who is a bit more sophisticated than the typical young girl in horror films. Her cast of well-intentioned but dim-witted friends are funny also. But the cameos and small roles are what makes this film. The Morgan Spurlock cameo is a nice touch, as well as some other characters such as the fast-food restaurant owner (John Gilbert), the fat rambling detective (Larry Joe Campbell), and the deranged janitor (Sean Whalen) are all funny and well-played.When it comes down to it, there are two types of movies in this genre: ones that take themselves WAY too seriously and fail because they try to be too "smart," and there are the other films that succeed because they are so preposterous by their very nature that they make humorous situations out of the self-parody. This film falls into the latter category. There is plenty of gore, screams, off-color jokes, and funny one-liners. After all, when we go through a drive-thru, we're not looking for a five course meal. We're looking for a particular item or two that will satisfy our appetite at the time. That is what this film will do.
