In the near future, gas prices have gotten so high that automobiles are an unusable mode of transport. Then vegan teacher Archie (Mike Brune), while working on an engine designed to run on wheat grass, discovers he can get it to work using human blood. He dumps sweet organic grocer Lorraine (Anna Chlumsky) for hot butcher Denise (Katie Rowlett) and all forms of mayhem ensue while Archie fuels his bloodcar. Things get crazier when the government takes an interest in the project.

London Evening Standard Okay, if you like this sort of thing. Rated: 2/5 Feb 24, 2012 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Feb 24, 2012 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound This is an exploitation movie about exploitation, and its disarming goofiness and transgressive vulgarity eventually give way to images... that are shockingly serious, if still played for uncomfortable laughs. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Rosie Fletcher SFX Magazine Undeniably inventive, unconventional and occasionally very witty. Rated: 3/5 Feb 27, 2012 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 4/5 Feb 24, 2012 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Mail At just 75 minutes, even a car on blood still runs out of gas.

Audience Member In the near future gasoline costs $37/gal When a school teacher and part-time inventor develops and engine which runs on human blood he becomes a vicious killer in order to keep his car running to keep the eye of lady he likes. Some really funny parts (look for the scene when he gets car-jacked), but over all poorly-acted. Better casting would have helped as well. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a decent comedy horror that has a unique premise, but could have been done better. The idea of the film is quite good, and the creative aspect is sure to delight horror fans looking for an amusing, mindless film to watch. However, I felt that Blood Car could have benefitted from a few rewrites as the concept is very good, but it does fall short of what the film could have been. The problem with the film is that it tries to rush things while trying to grab your attention. If this would have been a slightly longer feature, with a bit more depth to its sheer ridiculous plot, then Blood Car would really have been a great horror comedy. However it does fall short. I'm not saying it's a bad film, but it's a film that needed some improvements. Despite its imperfections, this is somewhat enjoyable for what it tries to accomplish, and viewers looking for a fun, entertaining low budget B movie, will most likely enjoy this low budget affair. Blood Car could have been better, but for what it is, it's a decent film worth seeing if you love ridiculous horror films. For the most part, Blood Car works, but there are better B movies out there. I really liked the concept; I simply wished that the filmmakers would have made the film a bit longer, in order for the story to have a nice flow. As it is, it's a rushed film, one that doesn't reach its full potential and it's a shame because Blood Car could really have stood out. This is a decent film, but there is nothing remarkable about this B movie, but it's worth checking out if you have nothing else better to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member En plus d'être chiant, ça devenait nul. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This very small-budget production has got really nice moments, and would deserve to be considered by movie-lovers, as it is done with spirit, humour and generosity. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The premise sounds promising: Vegan kindergarten teacher accidentally creates a car that runs on blood. Unfortunately, the execution is lacking. Even at only 76 min., the film feels padded. It probably would have made an enjoyable short at a 1/4 of the running time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
