Review of Daybreakers (2010) by Dann M — 05 Oct 2012

With a daring and bold vision, Daybreakers delivers a fascinating and terrifying look at a world ruled by vampires. After vampires hunt the human race to near extinction, their society starts to collapse as the blood supply runs out.

The cast includes Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Sam Neill, who all delivery solid performances. The concept of the film is quite intriguing, and is used very effectively. Additionally, the surrealist visual style works to enhance the tone and atmosphere of the film.

Daybreakers is a provocative and compelling thriller that manages to avoid the major tropes of the vampire genre.
