Saturday Night Drive In
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
“If there was a storm coming right now, a big storm, from behind those mountains, would it matter? Would it change anything?”
Vampire thriller? Love story? Feminist allegory? Western? Social commentary?
A Girl never seems to decide what it’s about…and that’s ok.
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963)
“The two mightiest monsters of all time… In the most colossal conflict the screen has ever known!”
also
“Ha! King Kong Can’t Make a Monkey Out of Us!”
The Crazies (2010)
“You know what?”
“What?”
“We're in trouble.”
Tim Olyphant plays Tim Olyphant Battling Corn Fed (Not) Zombies
Santa Jaws (2018)
“Ho ho ho, you son of a fish!”
“See you in jingle hell!”
Ok, so it’s not Ahab Van Helsing Nosferatu Carcharodon, but what is?
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)
“This is a serious matter….we need Santa Claus in Mars!”
also…
“Turn off the tickle ray!”
Ravenous (Les affamés) (2017)
Thoughtful. Terrifying. Terrific.
also…
How to make a really scary movie about chairs.
Seoul Station (2016)
“You are participating in an unlawful assembly…”
A grim and depressing look at Korean society…oh yeah, and there are zombies.
Blood Quantum (2019)
Undead salmon…
Native Americans battling zombies…
Michael Greyeyes and a fantastic indigenous cast…
We really wanted to love this movie…
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
“Oy vey, have you got the wrong vampire.”
Also….
“Pardon me, but your teeth are in my neck.”
Zombie With A Shotgun (2019)
“Why did I watch?…1 out of 10 stars”…“Why does this movie look like a porno?…1 out of 10 stars”
“Not a mindless zombie movie…10 out of 10 stars”…“Great indie horror flick…10 out of 10 stars”
Wait? What???
KL24: Zombies (2017)
“Will you just stop #@<%ing killing my family!”
Toxic bosses. Dysfunctional family members. Polygamous marriage. And Zombies.
…in Malaysia.
Zombies in the U.S. are fun. Zombies around the world are fascinating…
Galaxy Quest (1999)
“Never give up. Never surrender.”
What if William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and the rest of the original Star Trek cast was beamed up to a real starship and told they had to save the universe?
Invasion U.S.A. (1952)
“It will scare your pants off!” - Hedda Hopper
Also…
“Bombs away!”
Invasion U.S.A. may be one of the best hardcore Cold War flicks I’ve seen this side of Red Dawn.
The Babysitter (2017)
“I’m not a perv…I just want to know what happens after I go to sleep.”
“Alrighty babes let's head upstairs and get the blood of the innocent.”
Take Home Alone, sprinkle in a little Stranger Things, and top it off with a touch of Saw and you have The Babysitter - one of the funnest Saturday Night Drive-In flicks we’re seen in a while.
Beyond the Time Barrier (1960)
The most influential Sci-Fi movie you have never seen.
The tag isn’t hype…well, maybe a little, but not too much.
Poseidon (2006)
“…these boats weren't designed to float upside down”
Back in the dark ages of the 1970s, disaster pictures were a thing. Irwin Allen and others put their great grandchildren through college with flicks like The Towering Inferno and Earthquake, while by 1980 they became material for comedies like Airplane!
Howlers (2019)
Werewolf bikers. A 19th century gunfighter. Ninjas. Time travel. Fast cars. Zombie-werewolf hookers.
Got your attention?
Howlers (appearing on Amazon Prime as “High Moon”) is an ultra low budget action-horror-western mash up that I enjoyed more than I’d like to admit.
Independence Day (1996)
“The question of whether or not we are alone in the universe has been answered.”
Also… “Welcome to Earth! 👊🏿”
Independence Day is a retelling of the classic story of the desperate 1776 attack by Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, and General Washington against British forces in New Jersey, it….
Errrr….sorry…mixed up my notes…
Sharknado (2013)
“Oh crap…look at all those sharks!”
or…Surf, Sharks, and Storms in Santa Monica.
Ok, imagine Bikini Valley Car Wash with flying sharks…got it? All right, you’re ready for Sharknado.
Killing Them Softly (2012)
“I Like to Make Things Easy on People.”
Remember that movie where Brad Pitt plays that hitman who targets Ray Liotta (GoodFellas)? You know…the one with James Gandolfini (Sopranos) as the other killer for hire? Come on! Sam Shepard was in it…
No?
Neither did we.
