Alicia I love this movie so much
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
carey floyd I thought this movie came off as a little amateurish, but the premise and the humor was quite interesting. The T and A and sex jokes would make a Troma films fan want to watch the first half of this film. My Complaints are NOT ENOUGH GORE!!! If there is a blender in the trunk that turns people into fuel, show a little bit more of the blender in action, and the government guys stalking the main character, are idiots.. terrible acting.. and the main thing was some inappropriate scenes (2) involving children and firearms towards the end... I love the horror genre, but watching suits shoot kids in the head, complete with blood and brains spray leaves a terrible taste in the mouth, even with Tabasco pop corn on my lap, it could have been implied without the actual gunshot and brain spray. ... would have been a 5 but instead a 4!
Paul Andrews Blood Car is set in the near future where the price of fuel are at an astronomical high, the majority of people cannot afford to fill their cars up & as such the streets are empty. Only the super rich can afford the high cost of fuel but kindergarten teacher Archie Andrews (Mike Brune) has been working on an engine that can powered by wheat-grass with little success, while drinking some Vodka he breaks the bottle & cuts his hand & lets blood drip onto his invention which begins to work perfectly. Archie realises that instead of wheat-grass his engine needs human blood, at first he cuts himself but it's not enough & as the power he gains from just having a car increases he becomes more desperate & eventually uses a dead body. However Archie needs more fuel & resorts to killing people to power his car which is getting him lots of attention from attractive girls & the US government who want the blood engine for themselves in order to solve the countries fuel crisis...Co-written, co-produced & directed by Alex Orr this has a terrific premise that I am sure we can all relate to one way or another, in fact in Britain at the moment the price of fuel is so high it's ridiculous & it's going up all the time (although to be fair a lot of what we English pay at the petrol pump is Government imposed tax) with no sign of abating. The cost of fuel in Britain really is affecting people's lives, a lot of people simply can't afford to put fuel in their cars here & while the car graveyard situation seen in Blood Car is still far from reality (give it another two weeks at least) the basic story here will hit a nerve with most. So the story of rising fuel prices is obviously a political & social one the actually film itself isn't very good, Archie uses his blood car to have sex with a dirty, yet hot, woman with his addiction to fuel & his desperation to keep his car running fueling his need to kill & little else. There are some evil US government agents & an ending in which it's spelt out that because Archie controls this new engine & new type of fuel he is basically the most powerful man in the world & even becomes President! The whole premise is amusing & the parallel that you have to literally give blood to pay for fuel is understood but as a serious horror film Blood Car doesn't work, there are already other types of engines being made like electric ones, ones that run on alcohol & the like so the idea that petrol is our only source of fuel is wrong even now & at only just over seventy minutes long Blood Car still feels like it drags in places. Once you get past the initial premise then there's really nothing left here at all, I mean the character's are thin, the dialogue forgettable & not that much happens.Blood Car looks alright, it was obviously shot on a low budget & some shots are poorly lit & shot but overall it's not that bad. The gore is retrained, a guy cuts his arm with a knife, lots of blood is seen spurting around & a guy has an axe in his stomach & not much else. There's some nudity too if you like that sort of thing. Blood Car is never scary or funny & plods along without ever being anything other than a one gag curiosity.With a supposed budget of about $125,000 this was filmed in Atlanta in Georgia. The acting is alright, the babe that plays Denise the meat stand worker is hot by the way.Blood Car obviously had lofty ambitions & has a neat little concept that I am sure most people will be able to relate to in one way or another but as a full length feature it's surprisingly empty with little incident before a political ending that is nothing more than a rant. I can't say I liked it that much but will give it credit for the idea.
philipdoccolo Words really cannot explain how amazing/brilliant/hilarious this movie is. Let me just say this to those unfortunates who have yet to experience the glory that is Blood Car: there are moments in peoples lives that define them, that change who they are forever, once you have seen this movie, you will be able to break your life down like this: BBC and ABC, life before Blood Car and life After Blood Car. Why are you reading this and not watching Blood Car??? Whats wrong with you? Do something useful with your life, nut up and watch Blood Car. IMDb is making me write more so try this on for size: A car that runs on blood. A vegan kindergarten teacher who loves nasty sex. An obsessed veg-table stand worker. A pathetic "governemt". Brilliant writing, brilliant acting, brilliant soundtrack. And tarantulas, deadly tarantulas for sale in vending machines.
squaretip Thats right, avoid this movie at all costs. Not only is it possibly the worst movie i have ever seen, it's the most disappointing. Oh, and it's the worst movie i've seen...so....'Blood Car' sounds like the shitty movie I would view out of boredom or just sheer intrigue, but from the word go, i was lost. Thanks to its award-winning acting and really well rounded characters, this heightens the words "pure shite" to another level. Badly written (the narrator WTF?) badly acted (Everyone in this movie is under 25, including the FBI Agents!!?) and poorly executed, Blood Car ranks high on my list of regrettable titles I've watched. And if you don't believe me, just wait for the stellar acting inside the car, once the main character has realized what he's done. Crap-o-la!
