This movie made me laugh and quiver so much I couldn't control my bowels. If I looked away from this gem of a movie I would spew chunks everywhere. I didn't mind because this film is sweet!
Frankly, I did not know what to expect. But from the very start I could see that the direction, filming, blocking, special effects and acting were all solid.. and very well done. While the theme of the movie was undoubtedly silly and certainly unscientific (no radioactive spider bite or the like to explain this phenomenon), it was a fun journey, with zany, and unusually hot, characters
OK, so the special effects are complete crap. The movie has that B-Side smell to it, complete with kinda bad audio and editing. But- it was completely redeemable. It had a perfect mix of horror movie elements, the right amount of comedy, and a happy resolution at the end.Yes, the "killer donuts" were laughable. Yes, the acting was very immature. Yes, no fancy sets in this film, and the actors were probably all the director's high school friends. But I actually did enjoy it! The bad special effects were entertaining at least, the characters were exactly as they should be- hero, his lovable sidekick, the girl who pines over him, the snotty girlfriend, the quirky customers who come into the donut store, the overbearing donut store owner. It worked well. I'd like to see more from this director and whoever wrote the film- a true cult classic!
If you sit down to watch a movie titled 'Attack of the Killer Donuts' and think you're going to get Oscar level material, well that's your problem. It's a B movie that doesn't take itself seriously and neither should you.The actors are promising although unpolished and part of this is due to the script, but it was worth a watch. Just a goofy movie with a goofy premise and meant to be chuckled over. I actually watched it all the way to the end which is far more than many movies these days that try to put on a serious performance and miss the mark.
