"Blood and donuts" is a an unusual film.It is one of the few films with a vampire that contains very little blood and the vampire is a very sympathetic character.the vampire is very shy and unassuming,and only harms people when there are no other options.he also has sense of humour.but this movie is more a study of human relations than anything else.the story revolves around the people that"Boya", the vampire, forms relationships with,via an all night coffee/donut shop.the movie is very low key in every aspect,which is very effective in this case.the movie is strangely compelling though it contains mostly passive action.this is an example of minimalist film-making,a film that is very much character driven.the vampire is very likable,with a genuine care for people and has a romantic streak.there are 2 other main characters,Earl a cab driver who,for reasons unexplained, is on the lit list of 2 minor thugs,and Molly, who works in the donut shop.These two characters are likable in a sad way.the whole film has an air of melancholy about it.so it stands to reason the characters themselves are also written as being sad,(as in having little hope),people.the 2 hoods are unlikable,and painted as sort of inept and pathetic.the movie itself is unique and low budget,and interesting to watch.if you are an action fan,you may not like this film.however,if you like a film with psychological underpinnings running through it, you should like "Blood and Donuts".

The best vampire movie since Lost Boys.. but with very little blood and lots of donuts! The vampire is hot.. the story is both funny and touching.. and the performances are all AMAZING!! I don't' understand why it wasn't a bigger hit.. and I certainly don't understand why it's not available on DVD.The love story between the vampire and the older lady is exceptinally poignant.. Just because it's Canadian doesn't mean it isn't good.PS.. why do comments have to be a minimum of 10 lines.. that' just stupid. I love the movie.. but I don't want to write a dissertation about it!

In a way I have to agree with the validity of some other reviewers comments and yet I have to turn around and totally disagree. Though it's true this movie would have to be rated a B movie, I can't help but think that it has a cult following, albeit it small. The first time I saw it I watched again right away and loved it a even second time. Later I showed it to a friend and they loved it as well. It's a sweet story, yes probably uninteresting by today's pushed over the edge of all sensibility viewers' tastes, but I found myself quite captivated and thought it delightful in an admittedly sappy way. I must also admit although I found the main character endearing, it was the supporting actor's character and performance that really kept it going. I would recommend this movie to vampire lovers and non-lovers alike so long as one can put their cynicism, skepticism and basically jaded nature at bay for the length of the movie and just enjoy a sweet love story with a different twist, however uninteresting the premise might be.

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.
