In a future world not far removed from our own, gas prices have rocketed to $40 a gallon, converting any guy who can afford to fill his tank into an automatic stud. Yet eco-minded elementary teacher Archie Andrews’ has the purest intentions in his obsessive quest for an alternative fuel source — a quest that has him making bulk wheatgrass purchases at a health-food stand run by the bookishly cute Lorraine (My Girl’s Anna Chlumsky), who thinks Archie’s a dreamboat. An accident in Archie’s makeshift lab reveals that his experimental motors hunger not for wheatgrass, but for human blood — a discovery that lands Archie in the sack with the vampishly attractive woman who runs the meat stand across from Lorraine. But sex and bloodlust are a volatile mix, and drive the once-vegan Archie to murderous lengths he never would’ve dreamed possible. (from the filmfest-guide)
What a wonderful way to conclude a wonderful festival-Saturday! There is not much to analyze about Blood Car. It simply was completely well-done, great all around, hilarious, a silly and fun movie with a lot of blood, horror, humor and satire. I loved the actors and characters, and everything just worked perfectly together. Finally, a bloodthirsty horror-film I could totally enjoy! Really funny, and so sad at the same time considering today’s society already is one of murdering, blood driven cars. This film has cult-potential!
