Attack of the Killer Donuts

Attack of the Killer Donuts wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. High production values throughout. Some brilliantly understated performances by the cast. Stunning special effects. It'll be a long, LONG time before I trust another donut, let me tell you! In the end, though, I found the premise to be somewhat unrealistic, and after twenty minutes or so my eyes began to glaze over.

Just sit and enjoy, this really is a no-brainer. Don't mind the script because you can tell what is going to happen. Is that a problem, no not with this kind of flicks but for me the problem was that it wasn't funny at all.

The donuts are funny in the way they came alive and even as it is CGI it did work out fine but there weren't any funny situations. It's all so cliché, coppers going for free donuts, the nerd having a sexy chick who makes love to others and he doesn't see it. Oh yes, and there's a lot of farting going on which for some will be hilarious, for me it's a bit too low to make it funny.

But the effort to make a stupid flick about attacking donuts is well done. And it didn't had a really boring moment. No gore at all, a bit of red stuff here and there but if you watch this with a bunch of friends it will entertain you...

This movie seems like a Roger Corman flick, just a lot better. There's basically no plot or budget or wide shots but somehow it's still not too bad. So it's about a 30 year old man who still lives at home with his 35 year old mom and elderly uncle. The uncle has invented a re-animation serum that can somehow re-animate things that were never animated, like donuts. We see three cars in this movie and through the use of the tight shot they almost make you believe that they are on roads but if you pay attention, it's clear they are not. At one point they even drive through an area where there appears to be snow on the ground. Maybe they're in a cold place? Well considering that we clearly see 2 of the 3 license plates and they are California and Florida, I doubt that. Not to be out done, the extremely fake cop car has a plate from a different state. The donut shop is obviously an empty store front they rented. They even make a fake soda label, while turning the Shasta bottles so you can't read the whole label. There's just so much stuff that doesn't make sense. After the stars get fired/quit the donut shop they have no problem getting in it in the middle of the night. The girl is wearing a sleeveless rock band t-shirt like she's a 40 year old metal fan in the 90s and for the majority of the movie you can see large portions of her bra. In the morning when she wakes up after sex not only is her bra on but it's a different bra. I could spend all day tearing apart this movie but I'm done. Still better than anything Cruise, Clooney or Pitt ever did.

If it sounds like the kind of movie you want, and you like dumb B movies, then this one is fun.

Its not amazing, you won't be rolling on the floor, and you won't remember much of it. Everyone in my group enjoyed it enough, and there's plenty of stuff to point out.

I remember it had some killer tunes at the opening and in a couple spots. The main actress was pretty good, and surprisingly the donuts were done well. They had decent animations, and silly sound effects that felt reminiscent of "Ray and the Raving Rabids".

The attacking scenes themselves I think were pretty dumb, but you can't really expect much for those!

This movie is stupid, but if you are even here, you pretty much know that. Its about donuts that gain sentience and kill people. Again, no surprise that this isn't Ben Hur. The acting is passable, the female lead Kayla Compton as a standout and is a better actress then this movie would suggest. I assume in 2022 after becoming a more mainstream actress and getting better roles, she will be teased for being in a movie with such a ridiculous premise.

Again, basing this review on you are already aware that this movie is about killer donuts, Im reviewing it as such. The cgi donuts murdering people don't look so bad, and are as believable as your desserts coming alive to kill you can be. Some comedy horror movies are actually devoid of comedy or jokes land flat. There's some solid laughs here too, if you aren't going to be too judgmental of something with rainbow sprinkles on it trying to kill you. I've seen a lot of b movies and turn 60% of them off halfway through. I got through this with some friends and had a good time.
