Daybreakers (2009) 8/10

Starring : Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, Isabel Lucas
Director : Michael & Peter Spierig
Running Time : 95 mins

In the near future vampires are the norm and mankind is being hunted down for food, but one vampire, Edward Dalton (Hawke), isn’t happy with his life and has turned away from drinking human blood. So, when he meets a former vampire, Lionel Cormac (Dafoe) who has discovered a cure for his situation, he decides to join forces with him and attempt to rid the world of vampires once and for all.

I actually thought this was really good. With the major influx of vampire movies knocking about the place, it’s surprising that one with a reasonable plot has found its way onto our screens. Filled with plenty of bloody action, and actual moments of plot development, as well as some great ideas such as the video camera for a rear view mirror in vampire cars, I reckon this will soon become something of a classic.
