“Initially, I must say that I didnu0026#39;t have much of any expectations for this 2019 movie titled u0026quot;Drivenu0026quot; from writer Casey Dillard and director Glenn Payne.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut it was a movie that I hadnu0026#39;t seen already, and it is listed as a horror comedy here on IMDb, so of course I found the time to sit down and watch the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the movie is fairly limited, I mean in terms of the majority of the movie taking place around the vehicle that Emerson drives, it actually turned out to be rather enjoyable. This was mostly due to a rather interesting script from writer Casey Dillard, and some really nice acting by the two leads – that being Casey Dillard and Richard Speight Jr..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe horror aspect to the movie is more of a backdrop to help cement the storyline, so you shouldnu0026#39;t expect a grand masterpiece of horror cinema here. In fact, there was absolutely nothing scary about the movie, nor were there any jump scares.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe comedy is semi-subtle, but it works quite well. And I must say that things like broken talismans, spells gone awry, turd spoons and car air fresheners did help to add to the storyline.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Drivenu0026quot; is not your average movie, and I think it might not land equally well with just everyone in the audience. I did enjoy it, however, and I am rating it a six out of ten stars.”
