Nice effects though.

Best movie ever!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I thought I'd never say this about a vampire movie, but I sure did love this!This indie effort is a hair shy of being a masterpiece. OK...I'm still trying to figure out why I am saying this...but still movie really dug into me and pulled my heart out. (Figuratively, of course.)How many vampires can you say you would REALLY want to have as a friend? Boya is that vampire. He's all heart and soul. And that's a lot coming from a vampire. BLOOD AND DONUTS has got to be the most inventive vampire movie I've ever seen. The fabric of the plot, interwoven with the quirky characters that populate this movie, coupled with great effects and careful direction has to now rank in my list of favorite movies.Kudos to the director, Holly Dale, the writer, Andrew Rai Berzins and a really interesting and talented cast:Gordon Currie as BOYA the vampire,Justin Louis as EARL the cab driver/friendHelene Clarkson as MOLLY the donut shop girl...and let's not forget David Cronenburg as STEPHEN the "gangster"! IF YOU THINK you've seen enough vampire movies, then you need to see this one! You'll be surprised.The ending was very well done and satisfying for me. If you didn't get it, write to me...I'll be glad to explain what I think happened at the end and why.

Having no expectations for "Blood and Donuts" is perhaps the best mentality to have when seeing this movie. The movie focus lies on a vampire, Boya, awoken from the confines of a deep twenty-year rest to present day Toronto. Boya is a quiet, pensive character looking to put aside his fleshly delights in humans for small rodents. The story comes to a head when his past and future meet. Aside from some poor acting, which includes performing a poor impersonation of Christopher Walken with a Western European accent, the film has merit for storyline. The movie has an original perspective to take away from some of the common stigmas surrounding popular vampire films, while using other aspects of the undead to aid the plot. The characters and love story are tragically simple, but lacking depth and development. It is impressive to see what imagination can be found in low budget movies.

I feel that this is one of the few well-made vampire movies ever made. Not only is it original, they didn't stick to the old sterotype ways of a vampire (well except for one). There are a couple of things they could have edited out of the movie however, which I will not reveal except that it's near the end of the movie. Overall they might not have spent alot of money making this film, they made up for it with the acting and originality, not to mention the humor throughout. This is a must see for yourself, you won't regret it.

I actually recommended this movie last week. It's trying really hard to be a cult classic, and the chances of that happening are either destroyed or ensured (history will tell) by some guy you never heard of before pretending to be Christopher Walken from start to finish. As much as I'd like to lift my nose skyward and pooh-pooh films like this, I was captivated from the start and watched with rapt attention until the end.
