In the future, gas is so expensive that nobody can afford to drive cars anymore. Archie (Mike Brune) is a teacher who tries in vain to create a new vegan engine. When he accidentally cuts himself, blood gets into the motor, and it starts right up. Naturally, having the only car in town has its advantages. Namely, the hot babe Denise (Katie Rowlett) who works at the local meat stand now wants to fuck him every night… but ONLY if he can keep the car on the road. The problem is, for the car to run, the blood in the tank needs to be human. So, Archie does what any horny dude would: Go around feeding people to his car in order to get some.
Blood Car is basically a car version of Little Shop of Horrors. In fact, it probably could’ve been titled Little Body Shop of Horrors. Overall, it’s pretty amusing, even if it isn’t exactly laugh out loud funny. Still, I appreciated the weird vibe that’s more quirky than silly. Another bonus is the lean running time of seventy-five minutes, which is about as long as the thin premise could’ve probably handled. Even then, there are some stretches where the film threatens to… uh… run out of gas. While there are a few bumps in the road, it remains mildly entertaining and is just clever and odd enough to be memorable.
Brune isn’t too bad in the lead. He seems a little too passive at times, but he makes for an OK dorky hero. Rowlett is a lot of fun though as the sexy meat-slinging siren who’s hot to trot as long as he keeps it on the road. The only real “star” is My Girl’s Anna Chlumsky as the cute nerd who runs the wheatgrass stand. She’s pretty entertaining, even if the movie never fully puts her in the driver’s seat. (Okay, that’s enough car puns for one day.)
