A week of editing and book formatting means I needed a huge break with crazy murderous donuts. I knew I had to watch Attack of the Killer Donuts when I encountered it in the Horror section on Peacock. Then I was sure it was a must watch when I found it had a 3.8 rating on IMDB. I really live for movies like this! Unfortunately, a lot of the poorly rated horror movies don’t deliver, but this one did!
Attack of the Killer Donuts embraces its ridiculous premise with gusto, delivering a blend of comedy and horror that’s as entertaining as it is absurd. Sure—this isn’t high cinema. But if you’re in the mood for a B-movie that revels in its own silliness, you’ve found a gem. The acting is cheesy but passable, and there’s a surprisingly strong female lead who acts better than the rest. What will she think, reminiscing about being in this film 20 years from now?
While some may find the effects and CGI poorly done, I loved the donuts, especially the way they bounced around from victim to victim. Then again, I’m a seasoned B-movie viewer and a bit forgiving, considering I’ve seen WAY WORSE!
In the realm of comedy horror, the humor is unapologetically campy, as it should be. You just gotta sit back and embrace the absurdity of killer donuts with rainbow sprinkles.
This wonderfully ridiculous film kept me engaged and entertained from start to finish. If only the 1-star reviewers could enjoy movies like this for what they are, so bad they’re awesome!
That’s all I got for you this time. Too busy this week with paid work and a checklist I’m writing on cleaning up a manuscript with lots of spaces and inconsistent punctuation. Yeah, again, too much of the technical creates a need for the absurd.
