Blood Car

Blood Car is a low budget flick about a near future where people can't afford the gas prices no more, but our young protagonist who really likes his weed-grass accidentally finds out that human blood is a good alternative as fuel.

This was a pretty low budget movie with a slightly interesting concept and some fun ideas. However the overall execution left much to be desired, there is bad acting and questionable decisions for lots of the characters. The movie is not meant to be taking seriously and it definitely has its fun which can be respected. The style reminded me a little bit of Quentin Dupieux's movie Rubber (2010) even though that was by far more entertaining. This movie just suffers from its low budget and inexperience and I think there will certainly be an audience who enjoys this however that tough doesn't include me. [4,0/10]

I went in hoping for Little Shop of Horrors vs. Mad Max, but ultimately found myself unamused and waiting for the film to end. While the premise is interesting, there's not enough substance to sustain the entire length of the film, which feels too long even at only 76 minutes.

It's a notable achievement for their shoestring budget, but otherwise it comes across as very amateurish, the comedic scenes are forced (as in, "look at me, I'm trying to be funny"), and the characters are really unlikeable (save for Anna Chlumsky, whose portrayal of the girl next door is one of he few redeeming factors of this film). But, I've definitely seen worse. Heck, I've WORKED on worse films.

This is one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen!!! Granted it's low budget, the whole concept of the movie is ridiculous but Katie Rowlett was hilarious in the movie.

"Why don't you go home and write a Haiku about my box!" I had to pause the movie because I was laughing so hard.

The ending was kind of weak but overall its one of those great B movies where you say.... I wouldn't change ANYTHING about that movie. Great movie all around.

It's obviously not for everyone but for those millions of us out there that love silly comedy horror movies like Army of Darkness style then you will love this movie.

It's not often you laugh so hard at a scene where a guy tries to kill a puppy with a BB GUN!!! We all know thats totally going to work....LOL Watch it. Laugh at it. That's it. You are getting what you ask for in this movie. Blood Car. Ridiculous. Hilarious. Blood. Car.

You have to appreciate what this movie is trying to accomplish and who it is made for. This is a terribly fun movie. The comedy is laugh out loud throughout, plenty of bloody goodness (the scene where Archie taps himself for blood will make even hardened gore fans squirm), and...oh my God...a message that you can sink your teeth into. What a concept, a comedy/thriller that has a point (anyone who doesn't "get it" can find Hostel 2 out on DVD)!

Watching this film is like seeing a good local band. You know you're not going to see Black Sabbath, but you still might see a really rocking group. This isn't Silence of the Lambs, most movies aren't, but it sure as hell is better than most of the garbage out there.

I have to say that I harbored absolutely zero expectations to the 2007 movie titled "Blood Car", as I happened to stumble upon it here in 2024 and sitting down to watch it. In fact, I had never even heard about the movie.

Writers Hugh Braselton, Alex Orr and Adam Pinney put together a cheesy script, no doubt about it. But there was just something that worked about the movie, because it was so far out there and silly. I mean, you got to appreciate when someone comes up with these outrageous ideas for movie scripts.

I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list. For a movie such as this, then the acting performances were actually fair. I will say that the hilarious dialogue, especially the dialogue from Denise (played by Katie Orr) was so hilarious that it more than made up for the shortcomings of some of the acting performances.

The effects in the movie were simplistic, but actually worked out well enough. You will not find yourself sitting down to be blown away by a myriad of impressive special effects here.

When Archie and Denise made it to the barbecue sauce, I have to say that the cinematography died. That hand-held, shaky camera that the movie suddenly opted to shift to just simply didn't work for me. And it was a rather horrible scene to sit through.

"Blood Car" is a fun little low-budget movie with a somewhat different storyline. Give it a gander if you enjoy movies that deviate from the usual cinematic stuff, you might just like what director Alex Orr has put together back in 2007. While I did manage to sit through he 82 minute runtime of the movie, I can honestly say that this is not a movie that will grace my screen a second time.

This movie is so wonderfully strange that it was actually well-worth sitting down and watching.

My rating of "Blood Car" lands on a six out of ten stars.
