Gripping story with well-crafted characters
I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreIf not for some of the shocks, the borderline unapologetic porn shots and the incredibly brutal finale, this unbelievably low budget "farce" would ended at just one star.The jokes mostly didn't work, but I saw where they were going with it. The gore scenes actually went a bit inventive with what they had to work with. And the heart the creators had showed. Despite all that, sadly, this isn't recommended.I can't even admit this to the "needs to be remade with a budget," because I doubt the budget was so much the problem. I will hand it to the staff and crew for giving all they could. So kudos to you and maybe you came come back with something better. (This was from 2007 and I'm just too lazy to research anything they might have done since. Hope for the best for them, though!)
View MoreI'm amazed by the venom lavished in some of these reviews. These people have totally missed the point. BLOOD CAR is not a Hollywood construct. If you're looking for transforming car-bots or superhero-style CGI, then this is not the place for you. BLOOD CAR is a throwback to the John Waters' school of shock schlock. It's rude and crude, but it's also a tremendously mature satire of U.S. consumer culture (particularly our consumption of energy at the detriment of the rest of the planet).It's the future. Mike Brune plays Archie Andrews (yes, you heard right), a kindergarten teacher with a penchant for lecturing kids on the Kyoto Protocol. In his spare time, he's attempting to construct a car that runs on wheat grass, a vegan alternative to excessively costly oil. He cuts himself by accident and viola, stumbles onto an alternative energy source that's a cheap in comparison: human life.The film hardly misses a beat from there. Despite its limited finances, it's a laugh riot of low-brow humor. Regardless of what the filmmakers might claim to the contrary, it's nice to see a film with a point -- any point -- in this era of pointless spectacle. BLOOD CAR might be the ultimate statement on U.S. car culture, all apologies to American GRAFFITI.
View MoreBlood Car takes place in the near future, say 2 weeks from now. And suddenly gas prices have skyrocketed. And apparently because it costs hundreds of dollars to fill a tank, no one can afford to drive a car. The main character, Archie is a school teacher, who thinks he knows a thing or two about engines. In his attempt to make a functioning engine, he cuts himself on a broken bottle, leaking blood into the tank, making the engine work. After realizing that his engine works on human blood, the rest of the movie is about his chase of this dim witted and ugly girl that wanna bang him cause he has a car, and the government chasing him around. To fill up his tank, he kills random people and puts them into the trunk to fuel the car. That's basically the movie. It's 1 hour and 15 minutes long, and should have lasted 20 minutes tops. At the moment the only thing I'm more angry about than the quality of this movie is the fact that when I start watching a movie, I have to see it to the end. Don't start watching this movie - you'll end up wasting an hour and 15 minutes of your life!
View MoreThats 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!
