THE PRICE OF ADMISSION IS THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. One of Quentin Tarantino's favourite directors, Brian Trenchard-Smith was a key figure in the Ozploitation movement, responsible for The Man from Hong Kong, Stunt Rock, Turkey Shoot, BMX Bandits... and dystopian cult classic Dead-End Drive In! Set in a near-future where the economy has crumbled and violent gangs play havoc in the streets, the powers-that-be have decided to lure the delinquent youth into drive-in cinemas and keep them there. No longer just a place to watch trashy movies and make out, these outdoor picture shows have become concentration camps for the unruly and unwanted. With its day-glo colour scheme, new wave soundtrack and extraordinary stunt work, Dead-End Drive-In is in the tradition of Ozploitation milestones Mad Max and The Cars That Ate Paris only very, very eighties.

The 1.85:1 1080p transfer for Microwave Massacre is - in a word - beautiful. The restoration work done for such a sleazy slice of cinema rivals what major studios do with their catalog titles - in fact, the big guys could learn a thing or two from Arrow's results.

Oddly topical and filled with familiar 80s synth music, Dead-End Drive-In earns points for originality and some excellent action set pieces. Arrow Video's presentation of the movie is pretty stellar, and definitely the way to experience it, whether you're a fan or a newcomer.

There’s a case for Cinema Paradiso as the quintessential movie about loving film, and it remains a strong one nearly a quarter-century after its release. I suspect in watching it you may just fall in love with the form all over again.
