A year before the slasher boom really hit its stride with John Carpenter's legendary trendsetter HALLOWEEN, there was DRIVE-IN MASSACRE - an early slice and dice protoype that is finally achieving its rightful reappraisal courtesy of a brand new 4k scan from the splatter movie addicts at 88 Films! This worldwide HD debut indicates that DRIVE-IN MASSACRE was, in many ways, ahead of its time - spinning a sleazy story about a clueless police investigation into a madman who is carving up spectators at outdoor cinemas across California! Introducing the sort of giallo framework... that the post-FRIDAY THE 13th teenkill genre would later take as its own, DRIVE-IN MASSACRE was directed with the expert grindhouse touch of Stu Segall, the man who oversaw Marilyn Chambers in INSATIABLE (1980) before producing such hit TV series as RENEGADE.

Stuart Segall directs, co-writes and produces this '70s slasher horror. The teenage residents of Aurora, Illinois regularly gather at the drive-in movie theatre for a bit of Saturday night fun. This week it's a cheesy old Western being screened, but there's an added attraction sure to get the kids' attention: someone is on the rampage with a large oriental sword, knocking off moviegoers one by one and in a variety of imaginative ways. Who could it be? Suspects include a voyeuristic truck driver and a theatre manager with a chip on his shoulder.
