Movie Reviews of Drive-In Classics Collection
Movie Review: An amazing assortment of films varying from exploitation to southern-horror
Summary: 5 Stars
I just want to make something clear, this is not one of those cheap box sets full of non-copyrighted films with awful transfers.
This is one of the best box sets I've purchased this year. It's 7 films, all set in the south, three of which are directed by the "Godfather of Gore" HG Lewis.
The 7 films in question are all Something Weird titles. Each of the films has been gracefully remastered and each DVD is packed full of extras.
The stand out of the set is most definitely HG Lewis' 2,000 Maniacs. 2,000 Maniacs centers around a group of Yankee friends who find themselves in a small southern town who happen to be celebrating their Civil War Centennial. One by one northerns are killed off in a gruesome fashion ranging from quartering to dismemberment. One of the more memorable things about the film is the theme song, "yeehaw, the south's gonna rise again."
Next up we have a double feature dvd of two speedsploitation films.
Speed Lovers the story of a kid with zero experience who decides he wants to be a racing champ, and Thunder in Dixie: a revenge fueled classic about a man going head to head with the one who killed his family.
The third DVD in the set is a swamp romp double feature featuing Swamp Girl and Swamp Country. Two some-what unknown films centering around crime in the Bayou.
Finally rounding out the box set is two movies directed by HG Lewis. First up is the Moonshine fueled classic This Stuff'll Kill Ya, next is Year of the Yahoo, a film following a country-western singing who's running for office.
If you're a fan of cult, exploitation, or hicksploitation than this set is for you. 2,000 Maniacs is worth the price of the set alone. Don't be fooled by cheapo drive-in knockoff sets...This is a quality set with 7 great films and over 3 hours of extra features!
