This oddball Canadian production begins with a stray golf ball knocking hibernating vampire Boya (Gordon Currie) out of his 20-year slumber. You might think that one-in-a-million shot would lead to an epic story fraught with danger and intrigue but you couldn't be more wrong. The story consists of Boya falling for a waitress (Helene Clarkson) at a donut shop while guarding his cab driver friend (Louise Ferreira) from pesky local mobsters (including David Cronenberg in a cameo appearance). That's pretty much it. While the dialogue is smartly written and the performances do have their charm, you can't help but realize how pointless and lacking it all is.
