Ruby

A pulpy blend of crime thriller and slasher set against the neon-lit backdrop of a fading drive-in, Ruby offers a grimy slice of 1970s grindhouse horror with a twist of noir.

• Early slasher with a killer who feels as rooted in organized crime as in slasher tropes—an unusual hybrid for its time.
• The drive-in setting pulses with retro atmosphere and a creeping sense of isolation that amps the tension.
• Practical effects and murder set pieces lean into grindhouse grit rather than slick polish, capturing the era’s raw edge.
• Perfect for fans of exploitation cinema who want a murder mystery that doubles as a genre mash-up, bridging gangster films and early slasher vibes.
