Other than some cool scenes, graffiti, punk life and shenanigans, there's not much of a point to it all. Just people living (and fighting) out their days in, you guessed it, a dead end drive in.

Loved this movie! Watched it on Shudder not knowing what to expect. I expected a cheesy 80s horror and got a pretty bad ass Ozsploitation flick with some social commentary and a killer ending. Also I learned what Ozsploitation was then watched Turkey Shoot right after...which they were watching at the drive in in this movie! Same director, haha great doubleheader.
