It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Okay, after skimming the reviews for this movie right here, there's quite a bit of dislike for this movie. I guess it's to be expected because movies like this aren't for everyone. I guess people generally can be very opinionated about movies and may compare/contrast a lot with other movies to evaluate how good or bad they think a movie is. You know, something like that.Well, in my humble opinion, "Drive Thru" is an an awesome movie. Maybe I'm a really gratuitous guy, but I give it 10 out 10 rating. Without hesitation.I'm not too sure why some viewers try to say this is like a classic 80s slasher or whatever, but it's not really. I wouldn't recommend thinking like that if you watch this movie. It's actually extremely modern with, you know, cell phone usage and whatever that rewinding of live TV was, you know? I've never had that feature in my home before, you know?Also, there seems to be a lot of complaints about the acting, and I extremely disagree. The acting is incredible, for the most part. For instance, the cop/detective guy hit the nail right on the head with his part in the movie. Mr. Crockers, who gets his name made fun of a lot in the movie, which is just one of the many funny things in this movie. The ending of this movie is another example of how good he was. When he's ordering at a Hella Burger drive-thru at the end, that was incredibly entertaining. Horny the Clown or an embodiment of him stalks and jumps on Crockers' car wielding a sharp axe and the impression of fear on his face is priceless! There are many other funny things in the movie with the constant typical horror theme of "people being punished for their sins" throughout the movie starting right away in one of the most entertaining opening scenes to a horror movie I've ever seen. This movie is horrifically-correct in that respect. Often times, when I see a horror flick, there's always the sort of idea if a person is so sinful that the person deserves to be punished, even by death ... and this movie certainly captures that well, and horror movies always seem to make sure that idea is valid.Anyway, there are many other things I liked about this movie. If you are a fan of horror movies like this, you will probably like it. If you don't like horror movies, you probably won't like it. When you have the idea of "sin-kill," it can a big reason horror movies are great and a big reason I like horror movies, in general. This one has an incredible amount of comedy also. Hands-down one of the funniest horror movies or one of the funniest movies ever made.Hella Burger is hell-a-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!I don't know if they've made a sequel (I imagine it'd be difficult to do), but if they do, I'll want to see it right away! The "killer getting revenge on past tormentors" thing is typical in this movie but very well done. The fast-food theme is something that hasn't been used in horror movies until I saw Drive Thru. Makes it innovative in that respect. Anyone who ever has worked at the lowest-level fast-food sort of minimum-wage jobs know how terrible those jobs can be, and this movie captures that almost perfectly.

Wow I never thought for once in my life on God's green Earth, I have ever run into a horror movie about a Drive Thru Restaurant. I think I figure out the real inspiration for this mess of a film. The writers got some weed, ate some McDonalds, watched 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street and then played some Twisted Metal video games and said "wow, that Sweet Tooth character guy is scary, let's make a movie about it". It's B slasher flick about a make believe fast food icon Horny the Clown killing people. Really? What kind of parent do you have to be to be willing to take your child to a restaurant with a clown mascot named Horney? I mean really. I want to know why the owner went with that name and why he named his restaurant Hellaburger? Yeah like I would want to take my children to a restaurant with that name and a clown mascot named Horney. I don't think so. The parody name is so bad. I know this is not a serious horror movie and it's not meant to be a serious horror movie, but still the movie plays serious in certain scenes. I loved how it turned into Lifetime Movie mode when the mother was telling the "sad" story about Horney. It's like they didn't know if they wanted to be scary, melodramatic or funny. Couldn't they be a little bit cleverer with this plot? If they wanted melodramatic, couldn't they just stop the parodying and take the movie serious. If you want to make humor, couldn't they had smarter humor rather lowering itself to this awful level? Just because it's satire, doesn't mean it's smart. This film is pretty stupid. It blows my mind that while Ronald McDonald is naturally creepy, a movie actually trying to make a clown scary comes off as pathetic at most, mildly annoying. It's doesn't scare me. I gotta say, this movie isn't impressive, but this is the best opening to any horror movie ever! I know the first deaths in a horror movie are meant to show how scary and dangerous the killer is, but you have no idea how much I hate gangsta people and how annoying these guys were from the moment we saw them on film. This movie is possibly one of the biggest instances in which I was absolutely rooting for the bad guy. Seriously, who actually wanted any of those victims to live? Even their parents were jerks. At least most of them die, I'll give the movie that. I dislike the movie for one of the main characters not dying off. It's the one who acts like she's better than the other upper class teens because she and her friends are all hip and now. You probably know who I'm talking about. Anyways, Horny are killing teenagers left and right because they were the children of the parents that cause his murder. If I remember correctly, the thing that caused Horny's death was a cruel prank gone bad by Leighton Meester's character's Mackenzie Carpenter's mother and her friends that accidentally lighted his party on fire and he died in the fire. The clown reminds me of the stupid logo for that stupid rap group Insane Clown Posse running another hacking off people with that hatchet. For all the juggalos and juggalettes, and twiztid's fan, you're music sounds pretty crappy. Talking about music. I have to say 'Inside the black' was interesting and best part of the film. Leighton Meester does sing in the movie. Her voice is very impressed, but I don't think it was satisfying. The metal music blazing by Ralph Rieckermann doesn't make it any more scary; it's doesn't sound heavy at all, it just sounds like noise that distract you from watching what is happening on screen. It was Intrusive metal music that is annoying like Doctor Rockso announcing he does cocaine in the TV Show Metalocalypse. Horny the Clown's has his stupid one liners, too. All of them are pretty bad puns. I do like the 1980's Shining reference. The kills are just cheap graphic gore. There is a laughable scene with a guy getting his face stuck in the deep fryer. The whole school chase with the microwave was enough to throw me in a coma from it's sheer stupidity and bad editing. You would have thought if somebody head blew up, you wouldn't see their head later on the film. One of the worst things about the film is why was Horney even giving clues to who he was going to kill next. Why did Mackenzie gets cryptic messages about the next victim, on her Ouija board, 8 ball, Etch-a-Sketch etc. All these items have nothing to do with the restaurant theme! The movie doesn't even bother explaining the whole unexplained thing with Horny possessing supernatural/demonic powers! How was he supposed to know that a year 2000's teenager MacKenzie would use those 1970's novelty items? That seem very unlikely MacKenzie would even know such things. The movie even had political subtext that went nowhere. One good thing about the film is the 2004's 'Super Size me' Director, Morgan Spurlock having a cameo. His scene was just really lame anyway mildly flirting with a girl then telling the stoners to stop being bad. Anyways, this straight-to-DVD movie isn't worth a rent and no way worth buying. Just borrow it from a friend if you really want to watch this film. I warn you, it's stupider than 1988's Killer Klowns from outer space and that's no joke.

Adding comedy to horror again proves a recipe for acid reflux in this poor man's Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off. Leighton Meester's (Gossip Girl) friends and classmates are getting knocked off by a local burger chain's clown mascot, Horny the Clown (yeah, imagine the yuk-fest that provides), and of course discovers it all ties in to something her mother and her friends, who are all now (gasp) parents of the murder victims, did when they were her age. It gets really tired really fast. I started paying attention to other things, like how it seemed like there might not have been any budget for hair and make-up, or even hot water on set since both Meester and Melora Hardin, playing her mom, sported kinda greasy limp hair in most (but not all) the scenes in the film. That and feeling bad that Lola Glaudini left Criminal Minds then took a top billed role in this as a cop partnered with comedy "relief" Larry Joe Campbell (According to Jim) barely helped pass the time until the end credits and last bad metal song rolled.
