Reviews:
“The Car: Road To Revenge is dark, brooding and ominous, but just has no heart […] The costuming of the villainous characters are right out of an 80s punk rock scene, but here it kind of looks ridiculous, like the entire film was shot in a dark small studio, reworked for each scene.” Dan’s Movie Report
” …the movie is chock-a-block with irritating characters, nonsensical plots, and cliched dialog, making it a chore to sit through in order to enjoy the squelchy bits and the title character’s sometimes delightful killing methods. Rent it if you can find it for less than a buck. ” DVD Talk
” …if you are looking for 88 minutes of gory, brain dead, badass fun, this should fit the bill. Even if you can’t fully divorce yourself from the original movie, I think you’ll find enough nuttiness here to keep you happy. I mean there’s a scene in which the villain’s sexy henchwoman crashes the underground cyberpunk bar brandishing a forearm-mounted flamethrower that is just a thing of demented beauty.” The Video Vacuum
Release:
The Car: Road to Revenge was released on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital on January 8, 2019, by Universal 1440 Entertainment.
