Title: Blood Drive
Post by: Richard on 21 August, 2017, 09:14:33 AM
Is anyone watching Blood Drive? It's mental. It's got the sort of feel I hope the Dredd TV show will have.

It's two episodes in, but you can still watch them on repeats.

It's on the SyFy channel. It's hilarious.

It's like someone saw The Evil Dead TV show and thought "nah, that's too straight laced for me".

I really hope Dredd doesn't look this cheap & incompetently made/acted. I watched the first episode. Won't watch any more.

Well, it's got a bigger budget than the original 2007 film it pinched its ideas from: Blood Car (https://vimeo.com/78470699).

Hadn't seen Blood Car, so from the trailers I'd assumed it had stolen that idea from Wyrmwood (zombie apocalypse where the only thing that still burns as fuel is zombie blood, blood-fuelled cars ensue). There's a Wyrmwood series in the works just now so hopefully it won't now seem like a rip-off of Blood Drive.

There's at least one earlier example of a vehicle that runs on blood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbvqz-nv7Zw).

I really liked that movie, lotta fun!

This show looks possibly up my alley, will give it a go sometime.

They're still showing it, they're just not making a second series.
