Week 3: Vampires
I am so behind on these challenges but then I’ve never been a fan of schedules so I guess I’m doing it my way?
In this horror thriller, vampires outnumber humans and since humans are food, the vampires are faced with finding a new food supply or starving. It’s kind of creepy how on some level this parallels current real life events with water in South Africa, innit? This was quite good and I loved the all the world building in this one. The story was original and there were some really neat things they did throughout like the “daylight driving mode”.
Ethan Hawke is awesome all the time in…
After Victory, after everything that isn't has been defeated and ravaged, the victor must consume itself, first by subdividing into self and not-self, with self consuming not-self until it is gone and then starting over and over again, finding new markets, new growth opportunities. There isn't a way to make this harmless. There isn't a way to make the world safe for exploitation. It is autophagy and if it ends, it ends in death. If it doesn't end, after it consumes all life on this planet, it will find another and another and another and if it cannot, it will consume itself until what it is left is bled so dry it cracks and crumbles and falls away from itself…
Pretty much the definition of all style, no substance.
But God DAMN is this a cool movie.

Clue 17: something where THE FUTURE IS NOW OBSOLETE (30/31 Completed)
Although this film got its predictions for 2019 wrong, I still can't decide if I would rather live in this world or take my chances in the Vampire apocalypse.
So...Vampires have taken over like a spreading disease. They now run the government, etc. and the world is starting to lose it's supply of humans. Ethan Hawke plays the role of a Vampire Hematologist working on a blood alternative, although secretly what he wants is a cure for vampirism.…
For all intents and purposes, this is not a very good film as the plot feels like a trip down a road travelled too often.
However......
It does give us a new and refreshing take on the vampire genre. It does so by creating a world rich in unbelievable detail. Every nook and cranny of this universe seems explored and thought of. It thus totally submerges its viewers in this intriguing universe.
And I kinda like it!
Interesting concept. Less interesting execution. But a surprisingly inadvertent advertisement for veganism
This isn’t good but I want more horror movies with as big of a magnitude as this
On a bit of an Ethan Hawke binge recently. I was in high school when this movie came out and remember watching it at home. This is the most of its time movie ever. Entertaining but wow. Very Purge, very Underworld. Every cliche in the book. Horribly aged CGI. But — enjoyable.
Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe were pretty great.
Some interesting scenes but the uninteresting characters and bad dialogue drag it down
2010 Releases 1.
I liked it but I found it a little bland and dull. Some solid performances and cinematography save it, but there are too many bat jump scares.
Not sure the film ever really delivers on it, but man this is a cool world they've created.
This movie had a wide theater release in Canada and USA ten years ago today after playing in a few movie festivals in the fall of 2009.
So, I had a tenth anniversary rewatch of this sci-fi thriller tonight.
I remember I saw it in theaters back then and that I liked it. However, I didn't remember much of it before starting it tonight.
Well, I still enjoyed it. Some old ideas, some new ideas, doesn't make it a perfect film but I was entertained.

Though it arrives during an unfortunate glut of vampire movies, Daybreakers offers enough dark sci-fi thrills -- and enough of a unique twist on the genre -- to satisfy filmgoers.
