SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

gavin6942 There's a place between the living and the dead... and it is open 24 hours.First and foremost, let us state the obvious: the taxi driver talks like a "constipated Christopher Walken", in the words of my girlfriend. And that is unfortunately annoying, but not annoying enough to distract from an otherwise good film. The lead actor is pretty good and rivals Johnny Depp's performance in "Edward Scissorhands". These films share the same sensibility in many respects, but go off is quite different directions.Even David Cronenberg showcases his acting, which is just as remarkable as his directing (he is also excellent in "Nightbreed"). His bowling shoes analogy could have sounded asinine from someone else's lips, but Cronenberg makes it sound profound.I loved the parallel with heroin addiction, which was particularly topical for a mid-1990s film, as the grunge was literally dying from the drug. I do not know if this was intentional, but i certainly felt like there was some inspiration there. While it is hard to call any vampire film "fresh", this one has some aspects that make the old genre seem new.The worst thing about this movie? The title. What has kept me away from this movie for almost twenty years is that terrible name, which gives the impression of an even lower budget film than it is. In fact, it is not a bad movie at all and at least as good as the average 1990s horror film. More people should really give it a chance.

2222 This is a great vampire movie you can sink your teeth into. It is nice to see some fun taken with the genre for a change!!!! Boya is sexy and fun, And the direction rocks.

Wallykid82 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.

snake-52 If you're a "B" movie fan, you can't help but like this film at least a little bit...It starts out with news coverage of the lunar landing in 1969 for seemingly no other reason than to establish a reference in time and then shoots 25 years into the future. From here we meet a dim-witted cab driver and a donut shop waitress (whom the cab driver has a crush on).Aside from the usual details, which nearly make up a plausible plot, they've also thrown in some interesting little details like when our hero get stabbed through the heart with a shovel handle only to remove it and announce, `Don't believe everything you read'.From time to time this film does tend to move a bit slow, but in the classic `B' movie tradition the ending is not to be believed. really.
