So silly it can't help but be hilarious!!
A vegetarian develops a car that runs on human blood,
due to soaring gas prices ($40 a gallon)
For the lack of settings, special eff..... well much of anything really,
the story is suprisingly enjoyable, ridiculously hilarious, and above all else it delivers!
Nudity is abundant, and the gore (or lack there of) is silly at best.
That being said,
This one comes highly recommended for fans of horror/comedy!!
Funnier than anything from Troma,
even without the campy special effects & surplus of gore.
The conclusion (especially for a horror/comedy) is mind-blowing,
and you're GOING TO feel guilty for laughing.
Trust me.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Human life can be measured by the gallon.

I recently saw this movie at a local indie film fest and I thought it was the best movie of the whole weekend-long fest. This is a great horror-comedy. I loved it. Shocking humor, hot girls, blood, and [...]! What more could you want in a horror movie? I saw it with 2 of the actors and the director in the audience. They were very cool and nice. They even gave me a poster for the film. This movie is kinda underground and might be hard to find in the video chains but just buy it here on amazon, it is worth it.

I saw an early release of this flim by Alex Orr & Co and it is terrific. Terribly funny throughout, the filmakers know who their audience is and they love them. Equal parts comedy and bloodsport, anyone who loves to laugh and cringe at the same time will not be disappointed.

This film was a very unexpected joy to watch. The cover speaks of intense gore and a Mad Max-like post-apocalyptic society where gas is so expensive, no one drives...and the main character devises a novel engine that runs on a more readily available resource - blood. The movie diverges a bit from this description. Its low budget, so some of these divergences are to be expected. For example, it does not have a post-apocalyptic feel at all, and I liked that. I don't necessarily enjoy a mood where the world is hopeless, and society has collapsed into rival gangs. This movie is completely set in a normal suburb that just happens to have high gas prices and a corresponding lack of in-use cars. Second, there is no intense gore. There are a few scenes of sputtering blood, but it is done with enough visual separation that you're not really watching people get chopped up. Further, the director clearly took guidance from Quentin Tarantino, and displayed that rare talent of making what should be horrifying highly comic (e.g., there's a very funny scene of a recently dead woman being thrown from a balcony, just like "O s--t, I shot Marvin in the face"). So yes, I definitely enjoyed this movie, primarily because of its Tarantino-esque dark humor, and its avoidance of most of what the cover indicates (texas chainsaw-like levels of gore, etc.). The acting was good at times, and not so good at other times, but this is overcome by a good directing tempo, high quality camera work, etc. An expected treat.

I saw this film at Sarasota Film Festival about a year ago. I wasn't sure what to expect but knowing the title gave me incentive to see how 'blood' and a 'car' could be possibly enfused together to create a movie. It was hilarious! Blood Car was far-fetched to the point where there was no way you couldn't laugh. Lots of blood, an intimidating thug, ridiculous government officials, some hot girls, a nice kid turned bad(for a cause), and some innocent school children come together to make Blood Car the funniest, bloodiest movie in years to come. If you like comedy and low budget horror then don't hesitate to purchase Blood Car. You'll love it!

Request it at your local video stores so more people can see it as well!

I laughed so hard my hair fell out. Then I watched it again, and again, and again...Go Fake Wood Wallpaper!!!

Mike Brune (RETURN OF THE JACKALOPE), Anna Chlumsky (MY GIRL), Katie Rowlett (S.I.N.), Matt Hutchinson (BLOOD CAR) and Marla Malcolm (2001 MANIACS) star in BLOOD CAR, a dark comedy which takes place a few weeks into the future and gas prices increased to $30 per gallon. It's about an elementary school teacher who invents a car that runs on human blood. This movie has what you'd expect; beautiful topless girls and gross out blood. I give this movie a 5 out of 5 star rating.

In the future, gasoline is outrageously expensive (yep, even worse than today). No one drives automobiles, leaving the amorous youth nowhere to shag except for in junkyards. Luckily, one man has been working on a solution. Archie (Mike Brune) has been experimenting on a motor powered by wheatgrass juice. Too bad the results are less than satisfactory. One day, Archie accidentally cuts himself, getting his blood mixed in with the green juice / fuel. Eureka! This is the breakthrough he's been waiting for! Unfortunately, a car engine is many times larger (and thirstier) than Archie's tiny test motor, forcing him to find an ever increasing supply of the red stuff. Things get pretty gooshy! Is this all done in the name of science? Humanity? Nah, Archie has to be able to drive in order to pick up the local, sexually insatiable badgirl (Katie Rowlett), who just happens to love riding in cars. As we will see, a man will go to extremes for such a thing! Uh-oh! It appears that the government has taken notice! Archie soon finds himself tracked, abducted, and interrogated by government agents bent on obtaining his bloody secrets! BLOOD CAR is a hilarious horrorcom in the tradition of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (only far more adult). Watch for Anna Chlumsky as Archie's lovesick wheatgrass supplier. If black humour, parody, and social satire make you laugh out loud, and a bit of crimson spatter doesn't bother your sensibilities, then BC is a must!...

I will be glad to throw another 5 star review like most of the others here have. The nice thing about low budget movies is that there is a freedom for the filmmakers to do whatever they want. Though most filmmakers don't exercise this freedom and try to make cheap looking versions of big budget success's, Blood Car instead has happily ripped up and thrown out the movie rule book altogether. This movie is a mixure of extreme gore and extremely clever humor mixed up with some crude humor and a few scenes throw in for shock value that work perfectly. It really is a gem. Your kids will love it too!!!!!

Like Peter Jackson's early efforts with Bad Taste and Dead Alive, Blood Car is a more hilarious than scary exhibit of Alex Orr's film skills. This movie is very well done and entertaining. Dennise is hilarious. This is a must see for anybody who doesn't mind a little raunchiness.
