'Daybreakers' offers a new twist on a familiar genre. With less than 5% humans remaining, vampires are the ruling species. As humans become extinct, vampires face extinction due to a shortage of blood. In the meantime vampires have human farms, draining humans of their blood.
Hematologist Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) - who refuses to touch human blood - is trying to find a substitute for blood in order to ensure the survival of the vampire race. Depraved of blood, vampires eventually become hideous creatures, feeding on each other. A group of humans - and Lionel (Willem Dafoe) who once was a vampire, now work together with Edward to create a 'cure' for vampires.
'Daybreakers' features creepy make-up effects, plenty of action to satisfy the action junkies, gore for the horror freaks, effective jump scares, and even drama elements to make the film all the more realistic. It has a clever script, good sound effects, and is highly entertaining. This is a vampire movie well worth a watch.
