Comedy/Horror     Not Rated

Plot

In the near future, gas is an astronomical $40.00 a gallon, and Archie Andrews (Mike Brune) has definitely had enough. Archie, a nerdy schoolteacher and vegan with a thing for wheatgrass, is determined to find an alternative energy source for his car. While experimenting, Archie cuts himself, and discovers that all his car needs is blood. Human blood.

The only one in town who can afford to drive, Archie attracts the attention of sex-crazed Denise (Katie Rowlett). As Archie fulfills Denises need for transportation, he satisfies his ever-expanding libido. Meanwhile, the sweet Wheatgrass Girl (Anna Chlumsky), who loves Archie for who he truly is, watches helplessly as Archie is devoured by lust. In order for Archie to continue to attract Denise with his car, he must continue to find a never-ending supply of blood. And unbeknownst to Archie, he is observed by government agents anxious to learn the secret of how his special engine worksagents who will make Archie face the ultimate decision.

Acting

The acting is pretty good, as all 3 leads handle there parts very well, and make there characters likable or hate able, whichever is needed.

Gore

Not a lots of gore, one guy gets shot in the head and the blood cover the car windshield, and there are a few times people are fed to the car and the trunk sprays out a bunch of blood.

Sex/Nudity

A few topless sex scenes in the car, a few flashers, and some clothed sex scenes.

Final Thoughts

I don't know whether or not it was intended, but this movie comes off a a complete rip-off/homage of "Little Shop of Horror" and while not as good as that movie "Blood Car" is an enjoyable comedy with a solid horror twist. All the character are written and acting just as the should be. The only thing that hurt this was that it was not very gory, and while it was amusing throughout, there where no scenes that where lough out loud funny. It's well worth your time however, and if you can find it for a decent price (Amazon.com) go ahead and buy it.
