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.

Well, the only reason why I ever saw this movie was because it caught my interest by the name of the clown: Horny the Clown. It had an interesting plot and the face on the DVD cover reminded me of S.I.C.K., and because of the experience I had with that movie, I was about to stay away from this film. Well I didn't. However, sadly enough, this movie was better than S.I.C.K. for all the wrong reasons. It essentially tells of the tale of a madman who is brutally killing young teenagers while dressed as Horny the Clown. The catch is: this madman may not be human and his revenge spreads farther than just the teens that he is stalking. First off, the acting was really bad in this movie, the scares were not there and they were childish, it was really funny and the plot was so predictable. The main thing that bugged me was that it had nothing to do with a drive-thru.Let's get started. The acting. There was some good acting but other than that, the acting was really bad. Even at some of the most horrible scenes, where the dialogs had an exception of being bad, the dialogs and the acting was just plain bad. Not only where some of the performances pretty bad, the dialogs seemed so scripted and unnatural. Even movies of this caliber, despite there bad plot and really cheesy scares, usually have some pretty descent acting, however, this movie was horrible. They just seemed to not care about emotions or driving forces and were there just to be there. It was very wooden.What about the scares? First off, there was no real scares, and the when there were "hauntings," they were horrible. It's not scary when somebody gets there head microwaved, or deep fried, it's really quite funny and stupid. Killing somebody in a child's play pen isn't scary, it's just plain stupid. I will give credit to the costume designer for attempting a reasonable outfit for the killer clown, because it was kind of cool and had its weird looking gadgets (i.e. the "flame" butcher knife). Some of the scares were so cliché and very predictable, like you know who was going to die and the "jump out factor" was next to nothing when it came to surprises. There was some blood and gore, but it was wasn't anything to be grossed out about. Because it was accompanied by bad scares and really awful clichés, the gore had absolutely no real effect on me and just looked like red jam slathered on the walls or floor.As for the plot, well, like I said, it really did not have anything to do with an actual drive-thru and should have better off named "Restaurant" or "Horny the Clown." The plot could have been way better and should have just stayed a psychopathic killer hunting down beautiful girls with a predictable or semi-predictable twist, rather than something stupid and supernatural. The plot has some holes in it and evolves random visitations and a completely irrelevant Ouija board that says something that could have been told in a scarier manner. Plus, I never thought that I would see another movie where it was so predictable down to the point where I knew who was going to die, based on the music and the quiet and eerie silence. It was just an altogether thing liquidly plot.Overall, this was hardly a horror movie, however, if it was labeled comedy, then I would have a completely different review. There were a lot of funny parts and most of them were very unintentional. This movie just has really bad acting, no real scares and a stale plot with predictable endings to add to it. To me, it was a half-baked idea that could have had a good chance of being something else, but they peppered it with clichés and, what looks like, a last minute casting call. I would recommend this movie to anybody who does enjoy B-movies, as well as college height movies, however, for those who enjoy a thicker palette, then you may want to avoid this movie. Though, you may want to rent if it you are looking for a good cheese filled laugh. I, on the other hand, did not enjoy it and that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm not sure whether it was a result of the mood i was in while watching this film but i thought it was a fun modern exploitative take on the typical teen slasher film.Obviously made on a fairly low budget, it put a twist and witty take on what could have been a fairly dull affair of a typical 'tormented soul who puts on a masked killer and goes round chopping up horny/ stupid/ arrogant/ wisecrack kids.Although, not scary at any point, this film had some decent kill scenes and cleverly made funny T&A references without overtly displaying this.This was a fun film and although the ending was fairly disappointing and there seemed to be confusion about whether this clown did actually have supernatural powers, it was nonetheless a decent film.
