It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Seldom does Hollywood's easel of superfluous story-replays, succeed in escaping viewers' acumen. This movie is such a relief from the dull rehashing of tales masquerading as innovative brilliance, arrogantly assuming easy audience acceptance. This story is truly imaginative. This movie is a fun frolic through a donut shop – by a vampire – and some donut shop girl. Is this your typical poorly written script trying to come across as serious scary-theater - - - NO Way. It's poorly written and not trying to fool anyone. Are the actors trying to be serious? You have got to be kidding me. NO Way. Come on! This is a story about donuts and vampires. This flick is cheese with a capital 'C'. In no way are they trying to hide the cheese – it is melted all over the edges. There is no quasi-serious-actor – the flick is one big joke – and the cast is very well aware of it. With all this being said, I enjoyed this bit of entertainment - most brilliant in every aspect. Even as background noise, 'Blood and Donuts', was well worth the time. Rent it – watch it – and devour it.

"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".

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.

I personally loved Blood & Donuts. Yes, it was 'low budget', but it didn't matter. It was a mix of comedy and horror drama. There were some very amusing parts, and some very heartbreaking parts. All together the movie was wonderful
