We're almost two weeks into the new year, and this is when even the most reasonable of people begin to buckle under the pressure of their resolutions. When you pass by Planet Fitness – the Hotel California of gym memberships, because you're not allowed to leave – and pull into the nearest Dunkin' drive-thru to increase your daily caloric intake before 9 a.m., maybe you should consider taking a look. Attack of the Killer Donuts Fear yourself directly as you coast the weekend.
Most health experts say that donuts (henceforth stylized as “doughnuts”) are terrible for your health, and Attack of the Killer Donuts A cautionary tale about how delicious foods will surely be the death of you if you don't get your spending under control.
Mover over, killer tomato!
Attack of the Killer Donuts A modern homage to the B-movie drive-in feature in the sense that your enjoyment would depend on how much road soda you managed to smuggle past the flashlight-waving hopes of your trunk or glove compartment while finding your parking spot. . With no ambiguity to its audience, the film's primary antagonists are a bunch of murderous donuts, and their objective is to attack as many people as possible.
Leaping around like a swarm of ferocious, yeast-grown tennis balls, the killer donuts show no mercy after being inadvertently revived by a mad scientist whose life's work is bringing the dead back to life.
A vulgar display of dough
You can't just make donuts randomly kill people without a story behind their dessert killing because that would be silly, so Attack of the Killer Donuts Shamelessly goes through the motions to establish some semblance of a narrative.
We are first introduced to Johnny Wentworth (Justin Ray), a young slacker who lives with his mother and works at Dandy Donuts. Johnny is in love, and in a very one-sided relationship, with Veronica (Lorraine Ellis), who follows him all over and mostly just uses him for money. Johnny's mother, Emma (Cassandra Voygis), tries to talk him into considering her co-worker and childhood friend Michelle (Kayla Compton) as a romantic interest because they have a rocky friendship that should always lead to him. next level.
Oh yeah, and living in Johnny's basement is his mad-scientist uncle, Luther (Michael Swan), who spends all his time injecting a mysterious serum into dead mice while trying to perfect his rejuvenation serum so he can win the Nobel Prize. Luther should not be considered antithetical Attack of the Killer Donuts Because he means well, but every act of pastry pummeling in this film is a direct result of his carelessness despite his good intentions.
Donut Rebellion
Johnny steals his laptop from Uncle Luther's lab before leaving for his shift at Dandy Donuts. Johnny and Michelle spend most of their shift offering free donuts to their regulars after some sort of fight breaks out at the store, much to the dismay of their incompetent and penny-pinching boss, Cliff (Chris De Christopher). In this time Attack of the Killer DonutsThe pile of free products hasn't been infected (or boxed) yet, but the important takeaway is that dozens of potentially violent donuts are about to circulate.
Luther shows up at Dandy Donuts to retrieve the laptop and gets into a fight with Cliff, who had previously banned him from the store for his eccentric behavior. During the scuffle, Luthor's serum flies out of his shirt pocket and into the fryer, setting off the rest. Attack of the Killer Donuts at speed
The donuts grow fangs and secrete a poisonous green goo that infects their victims, and all hell breaks loose on the dandy donuts before the sentient sweets get loose and terrorize the town.
Not fully aware of the gravity of the situation, it's up to Johnny and Michelle to inform the public and learn the full extent of Uncle Luther's research so they can create an antiserum and save the day.
A violently hilarious bloodbath
Attack of the Killer Donuts Has all the right ingredients for a functionally self-aware, low-budget B-movie Its violence is so over-the-top that you can't help but laugh at how ridiculous the over-the-top antagonists look as they squirm and eat their subjects. Of course, Officer Rogers (C. Thomas Howell) has access to a firearm, but he's frustrated in his defense against the killer donuts because there aren't enough bullets in the world to mitigate the problem, especially after being blinded by a jelly explosion.
To be fully enjoyed Attack of the Killer Donuts, You should go into the viewing experience knowing this animal characteristics Does not take itself seriously at all. It's schlocky by design, and the effects are intentionally bad to drive the point home. But if you need motivation to stick to your New Year's resolutions, I can think of nothing more effective than watching your favorite deep-fried treats go on a murderous rampage, sparing no lives in their path.
