Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

lthseldy1 I liked this movie, it's not your typical vampire horror movie where all the vampire does is go around feeding on the blood of strangers where this movie is about a vampire that looks as if he is trying to look like a sexy vampire but instead with his hair in almost dreads and homeless shabby clothes, dried up skin and ticking strange facial expressions I can't tell if he's supposed to be a human or beast. He looks as if he's spent too many days in the sun and has almost dried up and came back to life again. He meets up with this waitress at a donut shop that looks almost like him, a across between man and beast with scary eyebrows. The best scene is when he's taking a bath and decides to have sex with her in her sleep. He see's her on a regular basis and forgets about another lady that he also had an affair with decades ago. He finds a friend, a taxi driver who almost get's beat up and the man moves in with him and finds out that he's a vampire. The story continues where the vampire is afraid of dying and this is why he continues to life all these years. The vampire plays a sympathetic character as we feel emotionally sorry for him as he drags himself and others into his personal life. I would watch this movie but beware of the fact that it's not your typical blood, flesh and gut's vampire movie but if your with a date and you have popcorn, rent this one, you'll enjoy it.

Enrique Sanchez 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.

justlikenancy One of the best vampire movies I've ever seen. It features average-looking people (as opposed to overly-glossed "beautiful" people), and the plot is solid. Moon-obsessed Boya is suicidal because all his relationships are doomed due to his unnatural lifespan and his refusal to create a permanent companion (despite an ex's pleadings for this exactly). The backdrop is Toronto, actually Toronto as Toronto, not Toronto as Detroit or whatever. David Cronenberg plays the crime-boss, who uses a bowling alley as his place of business. While the movie in its entirety is somber, there are funny bits: Rita being caught simulating a facelift by sneering customers, Boya's accordion (not a prominent part, watch for him digging up his possessions), Earl misinterpreting Boya's friendliness as a homosexual overture (in the scene when Earl gives Boya a new shirt), Rita admitting that her bullet wound was self-inflicted... The song "Twilight Time" is used as a theme song for Boya, and upon further consideration of the lyrics, I am almost positive The Platters may have been intentionally singing about a love affair with a vampire. When I first watched this film I was concerned that the quality of it would not be constant throughout, but it is: lots of symbolism, and the notion that things come full circle--the golf ball that awakens Boya is hit by the crime-boss, who is eventually killed by Boya, who has been carrying the golf ball as a symbol of his beloved moon, and Boya went to sleep to avoid the horror of people having walked on the moon's surface. This is a fantastic film.

slmstanley Don't let the lurid cover fool you; this isn't a stupid direct-to-video release with bad dialogue & gratuitous gore. Instead, it's a thoughtful and rather bittersweet movie about a reluctant vampire and his attempts to maintain human contact in the face of insurmountable obstacles. Returning from a self-imposed exile, Boya lives a marginal existence, eating rats in a flophouse,and mourning human friends gone by. Yet,he is drawn to light and life in the form of a neighborhood donut shop and it's fresh-faced counter girl. He also befriends a good-hearted cabbie who dreams of better things and owes money to the wrong kind of people. (And look for David Cronenberg in a juicy cameo role.)This film is a breath of fresh air in the recent spate of vampire movies which appear to be nothing but an excuse to snarl insults and spray fake blood. Well-acted, well-written, well-directed....go and rent it. You'll be glad you did.
