Possibly my favourite Canadian movie ever, "Blood and Donuts" is the tale of Boya...he is a Vampire...he crawled into a bag in 1969 and went to sleep. Awakened 27 years later by a stray golf ball, he reluctantly emerges to an unfamilliar world.

Very funny are Justin Louis as the not so bright Cabbie who befriends Boya, and David Croneberg as the Mob leader who is trying to kill him. Cronenberg delivers a CLASSIC speech to one of his droans about leaving your mark on the world that is worth the price of admission.

This movie is VERY difficult to locate, and is impossible to rent in our fair town, but should the opportunity arise to view this gem, promise me you will. I guarantee you will be greatly entertained. Thank you to Mark Stevenson for bring this movie to the Sault during the 1996-97 Algoma Film Society season.
