Reviews
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
merklekranz 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
ElijahCSkuggs 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!
philipdoccolo 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.
knechtg6 That's right, Blood Car probably ranks as the greatest thing ever made - step aside Hollywood, Alex Orr is coming through! From the genius and hilarious script, to the minimalist sets and amazing shirts of the protagonist, this movie is pure awesome - anyone who thinks otherwise only attends mindless blockbuster Hollywood films, or is too bitchy and pretentious to appreciate this wonderful addition to the cinematic world. If there's anything funnier than gratuitous sex, vegans covered in blood, poisonous tarantulas in vending machines and child/puppy/war vet murder, I don't want to know what it is because I would probably die laughing (as I almost did for this film). The point is, don't listen to these pretentious and/or ignorant pricks who tell you that this film is bad because it's low-budget or because the plot is (god forbid!) original. Please see this movie if you can, laugh, enjoy and be sad that you'll never see funnier made as long as you live. Also, I'd like to use this space to personally thank Alex Orr, on behalf of myself and everyone else who thoroughly enjoyed this film, we hope to see more from you soon!
