"This is a film where you can actually apply the term "liminality". A couple driving home from their engagement party decide to take a short cut they were told about at a convenience store. What transpired is a time loop that encompasses the past, present, and future, and everything they have done and will do."
"A serviceable bad trip thriller, Drive Back is one of those admirable efforts whose reach exceeds its grasp. Even the most derivative of plots can still be wildly successful if arrangement is enough of a hat trick. To those who might be left wanting, it's about the journey, I guess? Personally, I felt I was left right where I started but I can't say the trip was a dull one. All 500 of the LE copies sold out immediately so the film must have its fanatics and curiosity seekers. The design is pretty damn cool as well. Pretty slight in the extra department: Just an audio commentary and a VFX reel. I'd say it's a B- feature with a B+ package."
"An unusual and fairly watchable thriller, albeit one which goes on a little too long. It's well acted and very nicely shot, so you'll probably remain interested until the end. Some of the ideas land well, others not so much. By the end I wasn't 100% satisfied with where the film went, but that's just my take. Overall I think it's a decent enough movie and well worth a watch!"
"This was my blind buy for the month and man am I stoked that I grabbed this one. And with the slip before it sold out! Dark sky puts out some solid horror and this is one of them. Would highly recommend this."
"A lovely take on Time Loops and Toxic Relationships. Made on a shoe string budget (a making of included in the extras). It has a lot of atmosphere and visuals, great sound design. It´s in it´s nature to be repetive and some find that annoying and it´s a bit disjointed as Time Lapses are. . . Just loved it. Highly recommended"
"A couple driving home decide to take a back road. Obviously in horror that's a bad idea. Dark Sky rarely disappoints and this is a solid movie. Lots of twists right up to the end. Great little thriller. Excellent video and audio quality too."
"This movie was really good. Very interesting premise. The characters are a little unlikable but it's fine for a movie like this. Great effects. Good script. Wasn't crazy about the ending but most people will probably love it. I don't think it's very rewatchable but it's great for a one time watch"
"While not presenting a new concept, Drive Back does manage to do a good job at what it sets out to do. *SPOILERS* The time loop/manipulation/folding trope is typically a fun one to watch unfold - and this movie is no different - and some of the reveals made me nod my head with an approving sense of satisfaction. The characters aren’t the best written you’ll ever see, and the actors are fine, but not great. Some solid scares and neat twists, Drive Back was a nice little horror movie for the average thriller-watcher of for the horror fan looking for something refreshing."
"I guessed the ending, but was still an awesome watch!"
"A great slow burn horror movie in some creepy woods. Some great scares, too."
