Storyline

Mackenzie Carpenter, a gorgeous 17-year-old girl who would kick your ass for saying so, thinks her biggest problem is dying of boredom in the bucolic wasteland of Orange County...that is until her classmates start dying of massive blood loss and Horny The Clown begins madly stalking her with cryptic messages hidden in 70's kitsch toys. It isn't until Mac discovers her unbelievable connection to Horny and his victims that she realizes, if she's gonna live to see 18, she must come face to face with the killer clown in the bloodiest week Blanca Carne, California has ever known. Written by Shane Kuhn and Brendan Cowles

Ridiculous (On Purpose) Slasher Comedy
9 December 2010 | by (New Jersey, USA) – See all my reviews

"Drive-Thru" is a silly on purpose, comedic slasher that may be one of the dumbest films I've seen in a long while, but I still laughed all the way through it. If nothing else, "Drive-Thru" will stick in your memory just for the fact that it features one of the most, if not THE most, ridiculous looking horror movie villains ever captured on film.

You know this is not going to be a serious slasher movie from the opening scene, when a car full of wanna-be gangsta white kids straight out of "Malibu's Most Wanted" pulls up to the local fast food outlet ("Hella Burger") and come face to face with someone dressed as the chain's mascot, "Horny the Clown" (yes, really!) who dispatches the group in brutal fashion while spouting bad puns and one liners ala Freddy Krueger. Horny looks like the demonic love child of Freddy and Ronald McDonald, and his appearance is bound to incite raucous laughter throughout the film. He's not scary in the slightest (unless, of course, you have a fear of clowns, in which case you probably wouldn't be watching this movie anyway!).

From there, a group of Orange County high school slackers, led by Mackenzie (played by the cute-as-hell Leighton Meester) and her boyfriend Fisher, begin to notice odd goings-on around their boring home town of "Blanca Carne" (Spanish for "White Meat" -- haha!) after they fool around with an Ouija board at a party. Mackenzie begins receiving odd messages on her Etch-a-Sketch or Magic 8 Ball prior to each grisly murder, and after a few of her friends start dropping like flies, she realizes she's next on the menu unless she can unravel the mystery of who's behind the Horny mask and why he wants her dead.

OK, so obviously "Drive Thru" is not meant to be taken seriously in the slightest. That's OK as long as you've got a sick sense of humor, in which case this flick will be a total hoot. Sharp-eyed horror fans will appreciate the nods to "Nightmare on Elm Street," "Happy Birthday to Me" and other classic films that are thrown in as the movie rolls along, and there are enough nasty bits to satisfy the gorehounds along with a pretty rockin' soundtrack (much of which is credited to one time Scorpions bass player Ralph Rieckermann, of all people!) The stunt casting of anti-fast-food maven Morgan Spurlock (of "Super Size Me" fame) in a bit part as the head of the "Hella Burger" chain is particularly inspired.

I got this film on a cheap 4-pack compilation of similarly low budget horror films (along with "Tamara," "Creep" and "Boy Eats Girl") and though it was definitely the least impressive film out of the 4, "Drive Thru" still provided a few chuckles. This combo of "Hamburger: the Motion Picture" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" should satisfy those with a craving for horror with a side of goofiness and a big helping of cheese. It's a total junk food flick, and we all need one of those every once in a while.
