Blood & Donuts
In 1994, in Toronto, the vampire Boya awakens from his twenty-five years of sleep in a basement hit by a golf ball. He takes a cab to the local cemetery, retrieves his belongings from a grave and lodges in a low budget hotel nearby an all-night donut shop. Boya does not drink human blood anymore but rats and pigeons blood instead. While in the donut shop, Boya befriends and protects the taxi driver Earl, who is having trouble with two criminals, and falls in love for the waitress Molly. Meanwhile, his former passion of 1969, Rita, who misses her lost youth, is trying to locate him.
Why it matters
A quirky Canadian vampire slice that blends undead mythology with offbeat small-town charm and dark humor.
- A rare 90s vampire film that sidesteps gore for character-driven wit and oddball atmosphere.
- Boya’s bloodless diet and awkward friendships make this a vampire story for those tired of brooding immortals.
- Toronto’s grungy backdrops and the titular donut shop lend an everyman mood to the supernatural.
- For fans of cult midnight movies that mix horror with comedy without losing heart or style.
