Dead End Drive-In-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- jackmeat4. marts 2025My quick rating - 5.7/10. This is a bizarre one. The plot itself is kind of hard to explain. Not that it is complex, just that it just makes so little sense in the "why" the kids are held basically captive at the drive-in. The post-apocalyptic world is interesting in an 80s sort of way. The streets are battlegrounds, and the main character is difficult to finger as to what he is exactly. Hero? Loser? Just a guy, which is my pick. So in the community of the drive-in, we are also introduced to an array of characters. Each is more cliched and strange than the next. And underneath this simple escape flick is a really buried message about racism and cultural equality. Out of the blue, as you are laughing at the punk rockers getting beat up and fighting with cricket bats, the next thing you know you are hearing about the drive-in owner allowing to many "slopes" and other slurs against races that I am guessing were migrating in force into Australia at the time. It is funny, a little cryptic and a cult flick that still has something to say.
- empsall7. december 2025I admired the art direction and mis en scene of the first two acts of the film, but I admired the story of the third act, and I wished it went a little further than it did. The first two acts were a cross between Mad Max and Escape from New York fan fiction but it looked really cool with its punk and neon aesthetic. The story just dragged on for far too long. I wish the third act story kicked in earlier and they knew more of what to do with it.
