The Donor
1995
Horror
The actual term, 'donor' is a person who donates or provides blood, internal organs for transfusion, so having some woman rip out a guy's kidney, is not exactly a donor. Anyhoo... Made and produced in Canada, this horror B-movie has Jeff Wincott, without the martial arts antics, playing a film stuntman who is drugged and after being seduced the next day, he discovers that someone has removed one of his kidneys and he has to find out who did it. The mystery itself is not very well handled, nor inviting and whilst it tries to be a horror, this is inaccurate as The Donor is a) not shocking enough and b) it comes across more as a suspense mystery; with that, The Donor makes the mistake of not upping the ante & instead settles for lethargic. The film throws in a few red herrings, sex scenes, repeated flashback scenes which become more redundant with each turn, and scenes with women attacking male victims, & the actual reveal of the killer, with no real hints alluding to her involvement, makes practically no sense, whatsoever. This is one of those films where I never rooted for the hero, with out- of- place Wincott as Castle virtually unlikable... rather I rooted for the film to end. This is a poorly conceived attempt of a thriller-horror who-dun-it.
Is It Worth Watching?
