88 Films will release on Blu-ray Stu Segall's film Drive-In Massacre (1977), starring John F. Goff, Douglas Gudbye, John Alderman, Jacqueline Giroux, and Bruce Kimball. The release is expected to arrive on the market in May.
Synopsis: A year before the slasher boom really hit its stride with John Carpenter's legendary trendsetter Halloween, there was Drive-In Massacre - an early slice and dice protoype that is finally achieving its rightful reappraisal courtesy of a brand new 4K scan from the splatter movie addicts at 88 Films.
This worldwide HD debut indicates that Drive-In Massacre was, in many ways, ahead of its time - spinning a sleazy story about a clueless police investigation into a madman who is carving up spectators at outdoor cinemas across California. Introducing the sort of giallo framework that the post-Friday the 13th teenkill genre would later take as its own, Drive-In Massacre was directed with the expert grindhouse touch of Stu Segall, the man who oversaw Marilyn Chambers in Insatiable (1980) before producing such hit TV series as Renegade. A lively and lacerating bout of lunatic slasher energy.
