Drive-In Massacre (1976)

"Drive-In Massacre" is an immensely uneventful proto-slasher that suffers from extensive padding, lame kills and zero character development.

Someone is showing up at a Los Angeles drive-in theater and killing patrons with a sword. The asshole manager refuses to close the place down until the killer is caught so a pair of fat detectives dig in hard to track down the culprit.

Aside from the first two deaths (including an okay decapitation...), there's really nothing all that much to speak of, gore-wise. The movie also never seems to settle on a main character - the closest being the cops who look and act alike, thus making them horribly uninteresting during their very drawn out interrogation scenes with an equally boring former carny retard. "Drive-In Massacre" has very little going for it, but if you're up for laughing at glaringly shitty production value, line flubs and desperate run-time padding, I'd say you can't go wrong. Apparently the movie was shot in four days and it definitely shows...
