Drive-In Horror Show<\/em><\/a> is a perfect example of this.\u00a0 There are a number of things about\u00a0 that I really enjoyed.\u00a0 As an independent film and comic the level of success they are able to achieve is outstanding, and obvious to someone like myself who basically hates horror.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Drive-In Horror Show<\/em> is a collection of horror shorts put together on the theme of a drive-in movie theater run by the dead.\u00a0 Each short is about 20 minutes in length, strung together by the undead host of the Drive-In.\u00a0 Even the clips in which our host transitions us from short to short are amusing in their own right.\u00a0 He has certain amount of creepiness to him, and he uses it not to spook you, but to add a small element of comedy to lighten the mood.\u00a0 Not a bad idea when jumping from one unique tale of blood, guts, and creepy horror to the next.<\/p>\nDrive-In Horror Show<\/em>‘s strongest points are its production values. Although it’s an independent project, the film work, special affects and music are all spot on for genre.\u00a0 The gore, the blood, the guts, all that creepy gross stuff that makes horror fans feel right at home is all done with a very high level of detail.\u00a0 Not once did I have to yell at my t.v. in frustration for dumb or cheesy\u00a0 looking special effects, which is surprising considering that I’m not a huge fan of horror and I usually end up criticizing those things frequently.\u00a0 The camera work does an excellent job of keeping you in the action.\u00a0 Everything for classic horror:\u00a0 slow moving shots, peering around the corner in suspense, and chase and torture scenes are presented so well you might forget this was an independent project.\u00a0 It helps that each set is well crafted and more then detailed enough to be believable. The music is a major factor in this as well.\u00a0 Not only does it help set the mood for each scene but it drives the mood, that unsure and creepy feeling you get when you don’t know what is going to happen next.<\/p>\nCombining all these things together successfully is no easy task, but Drive-In Horror Sho<\/em>w does it in spades.\u00a0 Bringing each horrific tale to life in its own creepy and unique way.<\/p>\nThe comic book acts as an add on to the movie collection and is handled with the same amount of care and precession.\u00a0 It’s one extra short story, and it actually ended up being my favorite story out of all of them.\u00a0 The art and writing are spot on with the same level of production value put into the movie.<\/p>\n
Its very clear that these independent creators have an understanding of the genre and passion for the art that have helped make Drive-In Horror Show<\/em> a success.\u00a0 We can only hope that there is more great work to come.<\/p>\n
