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.

Simple ideas can sometimes lead to brilliance. Take Eraserhead, a very easy film to understand turned into a masterpiece of simple, and modest film-making. The film Primer, one of the most simple story-lines ever conceived became a must-see because of the elementary approachability and simple style it used. And with the amazing title, Blood Car, we are once again given a film that uses a simple approach to put smiles on the masses eager faces.

Eh, to get to the flick, that ramble above wasn't very funny and neither was this movie. The flick revolved around a rather unlikeable poindexter who is trying to make an engine that runs on wheatgrass. Oh yeah, the gas prices are around 30 bucks so no one besides rich people drive cars anymore. Getting back on point, the dork eventually finds out that blood makes his lil engine run, and he eventually gets laid by some hot meat lovin' chick, and he ends up killing people so he can get laid more and be successful. Eh, there's some more tidbits here and there, but there's no reason to get into it.

I had slightly high hopes for this flick. And once again, I'm let down. These son of a bitches out there making these posters are doing some damn good jobs. Pig Hunt and Ink are two other flicks I was tricked into watching because of their cool posters. Bully to that!

The flick ain't all bad as there's some nudity, some okay acting, a couple scenes of splattery blood, and maybe a giggle or two. But the humor in this flick is tacked on much too much. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who dig this type of college/try too hard/nerd humor, but it's not my cup of tea. Check it out if you're bored, easily amused, or have a vendetta against oil companies. Bah humbug!

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.

Appropriately crude "black comedy" that although wildly uneven, cannot be denied. There are a few knockout scenes of very dark humor, with the final toss in the trunk being the most outrageous of all. The absurd idea of a car developed by a vegan kindergarten teacher that runs on blood is inspired. Sure there are scenes that drag, sure there is an annoying amount of unnecessary four letter words, sure there is too much gratuitous sex, but in the end the film works because of the creativity on display. Gas is over $30.00 / gallon, but our hero can still fill - er - up. .......................................................... - MERK

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.
