  44. In the year 2019, a plague has transformed almost every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.
  45. In a world 10 years into the future, vampires make up the vast majority of the population with only 5% of the human race remaining. This presents particular challenges as the vampires' food supply - human blood - is dwindling and rationing is now the norm. There is growing evidence that vampires deprived of an adequate blood supply are themselves evolving into wild, vile creatures that attack anyone and anything in order to survive. Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire and hematologist who works for a pharmaceutical firm, has been working on finding an artificial blood supply that will meet the vampire society's needs. He is sympathetic to humans and sees his work as a way of alleviating their suffering but his views on finding a solution change considerably when he meets someone who found a way to transform himself from being a vampire to again take human form.
  46. God...damn. That's all I really have to say. Not enough? Okay then...in the realm of recent (let's say within the past 5 years) vampire films, "Daybreakers" only plays second fiddle to "Let the Right One In," and stomps teen-friendly slush like the "Twilight" franchise into sequin-sparkly jelly. Brothers Michael and Peter Spierig failed to impress me with their zombie-alien hybrid "Undead" (an extremely mediocre riff on Peter Jackson's gory days), but with "Daybreakers," they have shown a growth that is nothing short of jaw-dropping; granted, some of their trademarks are still firmly in place (lots of extravagant--and often very exciting--action scenes, and some extremely over-the-top gore gags), but the storytelling is tighter, the compositions prone as much to picturesque beauty as horror-fan-friendly violence, and the underlying commentary (from overpopulation to the resulting scarcity of resources, to the military's role within it all) is marvelously controlled (unlike George Romero's zombie epics, the Spierigs don't smother the audience with day-glo parallels to current events). The world these film-making brothers present--one in which vampires reign while humans stand on the brink of extinction--is one of the most uniquely realized (and most immersive) I've seen in quite some time. A perfectly-cast Ethan Hawke plays a hematologist who assists corporate mogul Sam Neill (in a cool-as-ice performance) in harvesting human beings for their blood, in order to sustain the bourgeois vampire society; a reluctant accomplice, Hawke has a chance encounter with some humans that leads him down the path of reversing the plasma-compulsive effects of vampirism. At such an early point in the new year, "Daybreakers" has already set the bar extremely high for all horror films to follow.
  47. Firstly I don&#39;t know how old the Spierig brothers are but they must be pretty young if they think that 9 years is a long time in the future.<br/><br/>Okay so we know a vampire film is going to be fantasy film....however to suggest that in just 9 years from now the humans would be a rare breed and the vampires would be the dominant species is stretching things a little far. Even the black death, small pox, the Spanish flu &amp; aids couldn&#39;t decimate the human race to that extent that the scenario in &quot;Daybreakers&quot; presents, and certainly it would take perhaps hundreds of years before any species would dominate the world if another previously dominant species did fall to some type of plague. To that end the film should have been set at least 100 years from now.....not in just 9 years!<br/><br/>As for the film, there are some decent moments, but then again there are some.......&quot;yeah right!&quot; moments, such as the good guys making it overa broken bridge...... but of course the bad guys crash. Or indeed when the bad guys search for the good guys but fail to search inside the huge wine barrel that they are hiding in!<br/><br/>The acting was by the numbers not help by a pretty &quot;by the numbers script&quot;.....what a waste for the acting talents of Sam Neill and most of all William Defoe! If there is to be a sequel then lets hope the Spierig brothers manage to secure a much much better script.<br/><br/>I am surprised at how many reviewers are giving &quot;Daybreakers&quot; such a high score.....my advise to them is to go revisit &quot;Near Dark&quot; and John Carpenter&#39;s &quot;Vampires&quot;......,&quot;Daybreakers&quot; is infinitely inferior to both of those films.
  48. The script doesn't wring many surprises or much character involvement from the premise, and the brothers' helming, while slick, is short on scares, action setpieces and humor.
  49. In 2019, vampires rule, less than 5% of the human population remains (viz. a third of a billion people), and vampires are starving. Doctor Edward Dalton (<a href="/name/nm0000160/">Ethan Hawke</a>), vampire and hematologist, is desperately searching for a blood substitute, made particularly imperative because vampires deprived of human blood are devolving into &quot;subsiders,&quot; bloodthirsty bat-like creatures who will feed on anything—human, vampire, or even themselves. Edward, who refuses to drink human blood, begins to make the transformation into a subsider. When he runs into a small group of humans led by Audrey Bennett (<a href="/name/nm0440286/">Claudia Karvan</a>) and is introduced to Lionel &quot;Elvis&quot; Cormac (<a href="/name/nm0000353/">Willem Dafoe</a>), an ex-vampire who has cured himself, Edward attempts the cure thinking that he can offer it to other vampires. Unfortunately, some vampires, such as Charles Bromley (<a href="/name/nm0000554/">Sam Neill</a>), owner of Marks Blood Harvesting Pharmaceutical Company, don&#39;t share his vision. Daybreakers is based on an original screenplay by Australian brothers/directors Michael and Peter Spierig. This movie follows the traditional vampire attributes including vampire fangs, no reflection in mirrors, extreme photosensitivity to UV light, different looking eyes, a wooden stake to the heart and beheading to be killed, pale skin, low body temperature, immortality, and no heartbeat. In response to some of these non-human traits many cities have developed an elaborate system of underground walkways called &quot;subwalks&quot; allowing vampires to move about in the daylight. Also school, work, and other standard daytime businesses and activities now occur at night; public service announcements alert people of the approaching daylight; and cars may be modified to include, or be purchased with, blacked out windows and cameras allowing for daytime travel. Humans are also captured and kept restrained and unconscious by various companies who in turn sell their extracted blood for food. Due to critical shortages, much of the blood is mixed in limited amounts with other substances such as coffee. This suggests that while the vampires need blood to survive, they may take some nourishment or simply still enjoy the taste from normal food and beverages. The movie begins ten years after most of the population have already become vampires so the source of the disease is not a main plot point or even fully addressed. However a news story shown in passing at the beginning of the movie had the title/headline: &quot;How a Single Bat Started It All.&quot; This suggests that the disease initially was one of an animal origin but quickly spread alongside vampires who were biting humans for sustenance. We also see large bats flying about during the daytime several times throughout the movie which is certainly out of the norm. This is a sign that the disease remains in bats and has affected them in various ways as well; such as larger size, more aggressive behavior, etc. As far as how it was possible that most people became vampires, the disease must have occurred in such a rapid pace that the military and medical communities were unable to contain it. It is mentioned that as humans became the minority they were offered the choice to convert, but those who refused to do so were forced into hiding. It requires being subjected to sunlight for a short period of time. In Elvis&#39; case, he was ejected from a car, tossed through the sunlight, and landed in the water. The short exposure, coupled with the rapid cooling, apparently cured Elvis of his vampirism. In Edward&#39;s case, he stands in a wine fermentation tank and is exposed to sunlight while wearing robes soaked in water. Later in the movie, it&#39;s discovered that feeding on a former vampire is also a cure for vampirism. Having discovered that feeding on a former vampire is another cure for vampirism, Edward gives himself up to Charles...with a plan. He goads Charles into turning him back into a vampire. When Charles drinks Ed&#39;s blood, he is turned back into human but not before he summons the vampire patrol. Before the patrol arrive, Ed ties Charles to a chair and seats him in the elevator. When the patrol arrives, out of desperate hunger, they leap on Charles and start feeding. Meanwhile, Ed rescues Audrey, and they rejoin Elvis and Ed&#39;s brother Frankie (<a href="/name/nm1168915/">Michael Dorman</a>). Before they can get away, however, they are surrounded by a large vampire patrol. Frankie orders Ed to run, while he stays behind and allows the vampires to feed on him. When those vampires turn human, more vampires move in to feed on them, until only humans are left. Suddenly, Chris (<a href="/name/nm0173194/">Vince Colosimo</a>) appears and machine guns all the remaining humans. &quot;There can&#39;t be a cure,&quot; he tells Ed. Before Chris can kill Ed, however, Elvis shoots a crossbow through his heart, and Chris explodes. In the final scene, Elvis, Ed, and Audrey speed off in Elvis&#39; car. In a voiceover, Ed says, &quot;We have a cure. We can change you back. It&#39;s not too late.&quot; a5c7b9f00b
