good back-story, and good acting

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

If you are checking reviews here before bothering to stream this movie, do not be taken in by all the cutesy campy praise from people with a fond spot in their hearts for big hair from their '90s youth. The acting and scripted dialog are exceptionally bad with leaden one take delivery and pointless wretched accents that smash any possible suspension of disbelief. The only reason I gave it one more than a one is that it was shot on film instead of video and was edited in chronologically intelligible order. This is the kind of movie soft core porn producers and directors made in the eighties and nineties in hope of getting out of the skin trade; I know because I used to crew for them. Absolutely a waste of the time required to fast forward through it.

Blood & Donuts is a unique, creative film that adds much needed "new blood" to the tired vampire genre. Gordon Currie is remarkable as Boya, a shy and sensitive "humanist" vampire who comes out of hiding after hibernating for 25 years since the moon landing. Boya is rather unkempt and freaky, but has a winning kind of innocence and a wild mane of Jim Morrison hair. He goes to a late night donut shop to re-familiarize himself with humans and comes to the defense of a slow-witted but endearing young cabbie who is being threatened by murderous mobsters. Meanwhile, an old flame who has aged for the past 25 years stalks the still young looking Boya, demanding that he give her the "gift" of eternal life. Viewers can't help getting caught up because the characters are so well acted and well-written. There is a good deal of humor along the way, although in the final analysis it's a sad and touching story. This film is astonishingly entertaining, innovative and effective despite its low budget. Far more so than other bigger budgeted films like "Tale of a Vampire" and "The Wisdom of Crocodiles" Thanks to Currie's and Louis' wonderful characterizations, audiences will not soon forget the charming, winsome Boya and his new-found human buddy Earl.

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!

I feel that this is one of the few well-made vampire movies ever made. Not only is it original, they didn't stick to the old sterotype ways of a vampire (well except for one). There are a couple of things they could have edited out of the movie however, which I will not reveal except that it's near the end of the movie. Overall they might not have spent alot of money making this film, they made up for it with the acting and originality, not to mention the humor throughout. This is a must see for yourself, you won't regret it.
