Brian Trenchard-Smith’s obscure “Oz-ploitation” freakout DEAD END DRIVE-IN will be hitting UK DVD for the first time on April 8th courtesy of Arrow Video. You lucky buggers!
Looks like a collective booklet is the only thing special about the release – aside from the bizarre movie, of course.
Jimmy and Carmen, a young couple, arrive at their local Drive-in theatre hoping to catch a movie, but when the tires and gas from their car are stolen and siphoned, they find themselves trapped in the chaos that is “Dead End Drive-In”… Can they escape before becoming resigned to a hellish existence among the freaks and loons? There’s a party every day, a movie every night, and all the junk food you can eat. What more can a kid dream of… except to get out!
Don’t be jealous, yanks. The flick has been available in the U.S. since 2011. Still awaiting a Blu-ray upgrade, however.
Watch the lovably 80s teaser trailer below.
