Hello Enthusiacs I am your Lord of Shadow and today we ask the question what happens when a restaurant mascot comes to life. The answer is Drive Thru a horror comedy released in 2007.

The first thing anyone who sees this movie will remember is the villain, this clown is like It on roids mixed with Twisted Metal. The costume is made in such a way the actor has to movie in a very robotic fashion which does make him appear to be a metal statue come to life and I’ll give em credit that it looks a lot more scary this way rather than just making a cg clown. So point to the film makers for actually trying.

In fact most of the effects were done practically. For 2007 that shocked the hell out of me back then you couldn’t have cats without them trying to CGI them.

CATWOMAN 2004

Another plus is this movie doesn’t try to same old hidden killer slowly creeping through the film. Don’t get me wrong that works sometimes too but every once in a while you just want to see something evil go batshit crazy and act batshit crazy.

Another plus is the acting. This is not the typical horror movie we don’t care acting each character is well defined and you do really care if they make it out alive (spoiler some of em don’t) This movie blew me away in the acting department, well that or I’ve become so jaded to bad fucking acting even an ok performance blows me away one of the two.

The story which I will not spoil is well told and this thing could be put up with any other iconic horror story and it holds up amazingly well. This could be this generations Halloween or Nightmare on Elm’s street. I’m dead serious.

Horny the Clown and yes that is what they call him is honestly a likeable villain reminding me of Freddy from the later Elm street films. Not terrifying but creepy and able to deliver a damn good set of one liners without it feeling like Batman and Robin.

Now that’s not to say it’s all good at the Drive Thru. Some of the dialogue can be painfull to deal with in particular the characters obsession with one girls ass. We get it you think she has a cute ass the joke ran it’s course mainly because for all their talk we never even see the fucking thing! Don’t brag about dat ass if your not gonna bring it to the party!

Another problem and I’ll admit this is a nit pick but the audio levels are all over the place some scenes are so quite you can’t hear them talking next thing you know it feels like your at a party at Motley Crue’s house I mean seriously people mix your shit better!

Overall I liked this movie the story was great the acting was good the effects were practical. Watch this movie people.

Until next time I am the Lord of Shadows saying

Stay Scared
