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 works.
My Review
Clearly this is my opinion, but it is a good satire movie dealing with the gas price gouging that went on in 2006-07. It was shot independently and it shows it. The effects are cheep, but that just adds to the hilarity. There is a lot of blood, and *SPOILER ALERT*kids die*SPOILER ALERT*! There are a few parts that don't go along with the story-line, but it soon gets back on track. It won some awards and was featured in many film festivals. I first found out about it at the Hollywood Video store I would go to, but it is also on NETFLIX. If you are an aspiring filmmaker I say check this out and watch the bonus features.
