Not bad, but not good either., 11 June 2002
Author: Pat (Wallykid82@hotmail.com) from Long Island, New York

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.
