Blood Car created by Fake Wood Wallpaper
The Pitch: The aptly-named Blood Car is a near-future tale about peak oil and bloodthirsty vegans. Gasoline is so expensive that it takes almost 500 bucks to fill your tank, and most cars have been abandoned in vast “car graveyards.” Archie is a nice vegan guy who wants to help the world by creating the first engine that runs on wheatgrass — but instead, he accidentally invents an engine that runs on human blood. Starring Anna Chlumsky, the 27-year-old former child star you probably remember from My Girl and My Girl 2.

I like the premise but it looks like they’re taking a different approach than what i’d suspect. the editing in the trailer was extremely fun and creative but i don’t think we got to see much of the film. if it was extremely good they would show more from the actual movie. i have a sneaking suspicion its gonna be really flat and only semi-funny. I’ll wait for another trailer cause this looks like it could potentially be gold or just another mediocre edgy indie.

I saw this film about a whole year ago. What happened?!

Eric: And how was it? Give us a mini review!

It was a long time ago so I need to remember.
It was a good idea for a film with a good premise but it ultimately failed in the end. The story was filmed on a low budget which was its first problem. It didn’t seem real. The actors just acted as though they were reading off a script and didn’t even care. There is though a ton of blood in between those parts to keep the average horror or movie fan interested for quite a while. In the film, there is a sick scene near the end that was quite disturbing, even for my tastes and I think TCM was only somewhat disturbing. Back on topic, the film turned out to be one of those cheesy romantic stories. Girl loves boy, boy loves girl, boy falls for another girl, and it just goes on with that plot line. It’s an OK film. Good to just spend a sunday after noon watching but nothing to anticipate.

I can give you a review Peter. Anna Chlumsky is the stuff boners are made of. If there were a boner car, I could fuel enough cars to run the Indie 500 and hold it in my pants.

The humor seems like that of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

On a scale of 1-Fuck, Anna deserves a big boner.

I think a lot of people are going to be interested in this based on the nostalgia factor or the boner factor alone.

She came back to rectify the promises Winnie Cooper gave to our boners, which of course have never been the same since she became a smart-mouthed little miss math Nazi.

This is a great little midnight film, saw it at Toronto After Dark last year.
Well worth it to watch with a bunch of friends and a few drinks!

Hey! Finally something I trumped over slash film! I reviewed this film on my blog. I’m cool now…or just lame.

Dude! Blood Car is awesome. It’s sick, funny, bloody, then sick again, just for good measure. It reminds me of John Waters’ stuff, without the insane amount of over-acting or fat ladies in baby cribs. Much of the film is too dirty to make it into the trailer, which may explain why the trailer seems a little thin. When I saw it at the Atlanta Film Festival, a woman left the theater and complained to the manager about the “pornography” that they were showing. While I wouldn’t under any circumstances call it pornography, I wouldn’t recommend watching it if you’re an old lady.
