Seldom does Hollywood's easel of superfluous story-replays, succeed in escaping viewers' acumen. This movie is such a relief from the dull rehashing of tales masquerading as innovative brilliance, arrogantly assuming easy audience acceptance. This story is truly imaginative. This movie is a fun frolic through a donut shop – by a vampire – and some donut shop girl. Is this your typical poorly written script trying to come across as serious scary-theater - - - NO Way. It's poorly written and not trying to fool anyone. Are the actors trying to be serious? You have got to be kidding me. NO Way. Come on! This is a story about donuts and vampires. This flick is cheese with a capital 'C'. In no way are they trying to hide the cheese – it is melted all over the edges. There is no quasi-serious-actor – the flick is one big joke – and the cast is very well aware of it. With all this being said, I enjoyed this bit of entertainment - most brilliant in every aspect. Even as background noise, 'Blood and Donuts', was well worth the time. Rent it – watch it – and devour it.

Finally was able to track down a version of this, it was surprisingly good! A bisexual vampire named Boya is awakened from his sleep by a golf ball. He has not been awake since 1969, and marvels at his new surroundings. He does not feed on humans but instead on rats and animals. He meets up with a cab driver who is in trouble with some criminals, and a female donut shop worker who gets stuck in the middle. Befriending them both, they take on each others problems as he tries to protect them and at the same time endangers them by bringing them to the attention of an ex lover from years past, who has been seeking him since they parted. Now they must all form a bond of survival, instinct, passion, blood, and donuts.

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.

After 25 years of slumber, a vampire is awakened by a golf ball crashing through his window and hitting him. What to do? Hang out at the local donut shop and fall in love...So the film has vampires, mobsters, a cab driver trying to sound like Christopher Walken. People have been saying it's a horror film! NO! It's a comedy! No! Therein lies the problem people have with this film. They can't place it. So look a little more into this film and you'll see that it's basically a character study, and a rather touching one after it's been viewed. If one can put aside the supernatural element and mob storyline, it's about a few people trying to find their reason for living and how those are affected as they cross paths with each other. The element of the vampire's selfless act of self-sacrifice is both heartbreaking and immensely touching at the same time. All the other elements are there to make the story weird and of course entertaining. All in all it turns out to be quite a charming story when you understand the characters. Blood & Donuts is a unique find and one of my personal favorites. I've never seen anything quite like it!
