Film Review - Dead End Drive In (1986)


Dead End Drive In concerns a future where the world's economy has collapsed sparking a crime wave and the government decide to deal with it by sticking them in a drive in where there's no way out, something that two youth's find out after they pay the unemployment price to get in, and one won't take it anymore.

Australian director Brian Trenchard-Smith is I think a stylish director and here he creates a very glossy and extremely entertaining film, the drive in is also well done, where you're always seeing something new in every shot, I also enjoyed the music, the design, the crazy Mad Max 2 type characters and the central relationships also, but I didn't care that much for the central character as his main shtick was "how do I get out" and after a while, it got a little repetitive.

In closing, a very entertaining Australian film, 3 and a half out of 5.
