It's the closing night at the last drive-in theatre in America and Cecil B. Kaufman has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons.
Films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night.
With titles like Wadzilla, I Was A Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein.
Now here's a really interesting idea, an anthology of stories that celebrate all things drive in, exploitation, and B-movie wonderment, interspersed with a little zombie movie.
And it works really well, except for the awful I Was a Teenage Werebear, which is a horrid hybrid of Once More With Feeling and The Lost Boys.
If this were the last story, I would have switched off and missed the delicious finale, its really that bad.
The other two stories are a lot of fun, particularly The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, which is frankly hilarious with its very particular way of translation, and some good dancing by Hodder.
Wadzilla is a good homage to the old Godzilla movies of the fifties, but the main story about the zombie takeover, is brilliant, and its even more fun if your a massive film buff.
The final scene involving the owner spouting lines from movies every time he bags a zombie is priceless.
So all in all its really good fun, its just the middle story is painfully bad.
