  Wonderful idea but after an hour it becomes tiresome and trite. Also, could've done without watching children being shot on screen. Bad form I say!

  Not what I thought it would be, but actually better. A thoughtful yet crude satire on social status and our energy and gas concerns. Yes, some gore to be certain, but it's a comedy foremost with a disarming sense of humor.

  It's inspiring to see films like this every once in a while - hyper low-budget triumphs of the indie spirit. Occasionally hilarious and usually entertaining, except for a few kind of boring patches, Blood Car is an entertaining testament to the successes that independent film making can produce. It's one of those movies that makes you want to go out and film your own.

  5.1/10 "Blood Car" is a fine satire looking for something to satirize. Perhaps it's a satire of human nature, our wants, or murder itself; but the film never quite accomplishes what its ever-so-big ambitions suggest. It begins and ends feeling sleazy. I can't say I enjoyed it. But I do appreciate the film, somewhat, for what it's at least trying to do. The film takes place in the not-so-distant future, where Gas Prices- or the price of anything, for the matter- is going up drastically. People are trying as hard as they can not to go broke whilst driving around in their fancy cars. So now, we have a young dreamer, who works as a Kindergarten Teacher. He's a Vegan, and he's trying to perfect a system which will be able to use vegetation-liquid as car fuel. He wants to rebel, although this plan hasn't worked. But like all dreamers, he gets another big idea; and this idea becomes the basis for the film. The idea comes in the form of a car being fueled by human blood. At first, our hero uses his own blood; but figures that this can't go on forever. We witness him trying to get blood from others humans, animals, or beings. This is done in a darkly funny way (it's one of the best scenes in the entire film), with the character trying to shoot squirrels, dogs, and even kittens to get his blood fix. He's like a vampire who doesn't so much as drink the actual blood. So where does this film go wrong? I have no problem with the premise, and I have no problem with how sleazy the production is. I guess one problem would be the humor. The film is really funny one moment, just kind of funny another, and then it's so obvious and amateurish that it's not funny at all. The filmmakers obviously have a fondness for horror films and satires. Their love gave birth to a good idea which is still searching for the right material to work with. In short, "Blood Car" is well-made, but it just doesn't work. The film gets some points for being quite low-budget and Independent. If you're in to independent horror/comedies, then you may want to check this out. I have a feeling that some will actually like "Blood Car", and I have no problem with that. I can't say it's a good film, but at the same time, it's not a bad one. There are some good ideas here, although a little more exploration and intelligent humor would have helped. Approach the film as you will, if you will. I have a certain admiration for this film, but it doesn't amount to any sort of fondness. The film does have something good going for it towards the beginning of the film, but it runs out of fuel towards the end. It spirals into indie-filmmaking purgatory, which isn't a bad thing, but you know: it's far from a good thing. But if you want a sleazy "horror satire", then you've got one.

  Not for everyone...but should be. For those people will not be enriched, as it were. Basically: A man invents a car engine that runs on human blood....let that sink in. If you don't think that's a great premise that you may hate the effing movie. BUT at the same time you may… More
  Not for everyone...but should be. For those people will not be enriched, as it were. Basically: A man invents a car engine that runs on human blood....let that sink in. If you don't think that's a great premise that you may hate the effing movie. BUT at the same time you may still love it. Although this owes alot to gore-comedy pioneers such as Herschell Gordon Lewis, there's a definitely distinction. This film posesses a very unique comedy to it that I would assume is hit or miss. For me, it hit hard. You really get the feeling that this film was meant to be exactly what it was, which is a hilariously strange tale of a man's decent into madness, I guess. The script stays pretty consistant in style, although extremely uncommon, but maybe gets a bit to close to being convoluted at times. As for the direction, there is a zany style throughout, but often times it switches it up, giving you some wild stylistic changes, especially in one sequence that becomes a send-up of Natural Born Killers (1994). Overall there are some flaws, but this film does what a low budget should and knows it's limitations yet is still able to turn it up to 11. Don't go in expecting your normal everyday film, this is made to be a cult classic, and the filmmaker's know it.

  Nasty, satirical look at when gas prices get too high, the lengths a vegetarian liberal will go to once the opportunity arises. Amusing film with some great moments.

  Wildly entertaining and original. Shot on a ultra low budget, but it still moves and looks good. I laughed out loud in several parts and it has some social commentary. 'Blood Car' proves that talent and great ideas can prevail over big budget movies.
