Drive Thru trailer

Drive Thru is about 17 year old Mackenzie Carpenter (played by Leighton Meester) and her friends who one by one are being bumped off by the murderous Hella Burger mascot Horney the Clown.

Two bits of Gimpage here. The first has a friend of Mackenzie’s (played by Sita Young) chained to a chair with a microwave oven over her head. Yes you read right. A hole is cut out of the bottom of a microwave and placed over her head. Horney the Clown turns on the juice and it’s curtains for poor Sita.

The second bit of Gimpage has Mackenzie herself tied to a chair. There is a candle-lit birthday cake in front of her and she is surrounded by all her dead friends. Horney then pours gasoline all over her then picks up a lit candle from the cake and threatens to ignite her. Just then a female cop enters and momentarily saves her as Horney and the cop struggle. While this is going on, Mackenzie is able to free her hands. She quickly reaches for a metal pocket flask and takes a swig. She then pretends that she is still tied up. Horney now returns to take up where he left off but Mackenzie turns the tables on him by blowing out the mouthful of alcohol she has into Horney’s face.

Entertainment wise, they tried to go after a similar formula as the Nightmare on Elm Street series with wit and one-liners but it really didn’t work IMO (then again I didn’t like the Nightmare on Elm Street’s either). Plus, how can you have a killer named Horney who doesn’t even get close to getting horney with anyone from a very nice looking cast lead by Leighton Meester (But for my money you can’t beat Sita Young for cuteness in this). Grade D

Gimp wise, a lame attempt at originality with the microwave bit. Made doubly worse in that a very cute Sita Young loses an opportunity at a true Gimp scene.
