Simply Perfect

Dreadfully Boring

best movie i've ever seen.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I'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.

"Blood Car" is a witty, refreshing, inventive, daring and surprisingly self-preserved new horror comedy that turned out a hugely pleasant surprise; especially since I set my initial expectations very low (as I always do with new low budgeted productions that try to blend gore and laughs). Horror – good horror, that is - and comedy are two opposite genres that usually don't merge together very well, but the young (the guy is not even 30 years old) and clearly visionary director Alex Orr seemingly pulls it off without too much effort. This is probably because Orr stayed far away from the regular/classic horror themes (like vampires, zombies, werewolves …) but actually processed current and involving news headliner issues into his script. The ever increasing gasoline prices are piping hot news at the moment, so it was just a matter of time until a clever scriptwriter would come up with the idea of cars running on blood or other horrific material. "Mad Cowgirl" is another example of a horror movie that slyly cashed in on current events (the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease), but "Blood Car" is much better that that one, since it remains unpretentious and coherent at all times. In the near future we'll all be incapable of driving our car since the fuel prices are set at $33 per gallon and continue to increase non-stop. Archie Andrews is a vegan kindergarten by day, but at night he's an alternate fuel source researcher working on an engine that runs on wheat grass. Accidentally, Archie discovers that blood is much more efficient than wheat grass and builds himself the world's first and only car with a human meat grinder in the trunk. Needless to say Archie suddenly becomes extremely wanted amongst women and he even ignores the cute veggie-drink salesgirl in favor of the voluptuous and kinky meat stand bimbo. But in order to keep their relationship exciting, Archie's car needs blood … gallons and gallons of human blood! The concept of "Blood Car" is indeed grotesque and ludicrous, but so is the entire tone and pacing of the film. The gags vary from absurd (like luring a girl to the trunk with the excuse of puppies hidden there) to exaggeratedly offensive (killing small animals with BB-guns, stuffing crippled war veterans into the trunk or even shooting a schoolgirl at close range), but they are all extremely funny. Alex Orr also knows all the horror clichés and stereotypes by heart and he's definitely not afraid to use them. The ending is even more terrific than I could have imagined it, as Archie is considered a true hero and savior of the nation in spite of all the murders he committed. That's the American way! The make-up effects are good old-fashioned shlock and camp and the occasionally "amateurish" elaboration actually counts as a good thing here. "Blood Car" is definitely a gem to cherish and Alex Orr a name to remember.

Words really cannot explain how amazing/brilliant/hilarious this movie is. Let me just say this to those unfortunates who have yet to experience the glory that is Blood Car: there are moments in peoples lives that define them, that change who they are forever, once you have seen this movie, you will be able to break your life down like this: BBC and ABC, life before Blood Car and life After Blood Car. Why are you reading this and not watching Blood Car??? Whats wrong with you? Do something useful with your life, nut up and watch Blood Car. IMDb is making me write more so try this on for size: A car that runs on blood. A vegan kindergarten teacher who loves nasty sex. An obsessed veg-table stand worker. A pathetic "governemt". Brilliant writing, brilliant acting, brilliant soundtrack. And tarantulas, deadly tarantulas for sale in vending machines.

It's not really graphic or scary in any traditional horror sense, but it is absolutely brilliant. You do have to have a quite highly developed sense of humour to appreciate a lot of it though. If you like, say...South Park and enthusiastically made low-budget (not necessarily entirely)horror, then you will probably get a kick out of this.If you liked this then check out Ankle Biters, The Janitor, Buttcrack and Gory Gory Hallelujah for starters. There's a treasure trove of great low budget independent gems out there just waiting for the right person (someone who appreciates them) to discover them.Blood Car is one of the best I've ever seen though, and it's not one of the "so bad it's good" style (which are a related, but subtly different taste). The script and acting and all out balls in your face take it to a higher plane than nearly every one of this "type" of films I've seen. It may even be THE BEST etc! Someone mentioned Uwe Boll in another comment, and I do kind of feel sorry for Uwe after seeing this. I have doubts bigger than aircraft carriers that Postal is going to be anywhere near as irreverent, controversial, outrageous and over-the-top funny as this little indie gem.I'm also loving the comments from people complaining or saying that they marked it down due to whatever their little personal boundary was that the movie breached, ...********** SPOILERS FOLLOW! ***************** SPOILERS FOLLOW! ************** SPOILERS FOLLOW! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GO WATCH IT AND LET IT SURPRISE YOU BEORE READING ON. SRSLY.********** SRSLY....be it shooting puppies repeatedly with a bb gun (comedy GOLD!) or summary execution of a school full of kids (sheer unadulterated GENIUS), or some were just offended by the baby thing at the end (I lol'd).
