Product Description

Product Description

Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill and Ethan Hawke star in this sci-fi action horror. In the year 2019, a global plague has transformed almost every human being on the planet into a vampire. Humankind is now a hunted minority, accounting for less than five percent of the world's population - and has become a vital food source controlled and harvested by cynical businessmen such as Charles Bromley (Neill). Faced with a dwindling blood supply and a desperate future, a team of scientists led by Edward (Hawke) joins forces with a covert band of vampires to find a way to save humankind.

The world is now populated, largely, by vampires, a situation arising from the spread of a plague initiated by a single individual human being bitten by a vampire bat. The vampires, on the face of it, want to live cooperatively with humans but with a desperate need for blood what's a health-conscious vamp to do? One solution is to make synthetic blood. This is the solution that the giant corporation, Bromley Marks has invested in with top vampire haematologist, Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke), leading the research team. However, the progress the team are making in the development of the synthetic product is not fast enough to meet the increasing demand from the vampire public. The result is that humans are rounded up for `farming' in a 'Matrix style' industrial scale extraction complex while the research continues.

Naturally enough the few remaining humans take exception to this and form a resistance group led by `Elvis' Cormac, played by the always watchable, Willem Defoe, a former vampire, who was `cured' by being, one day, accidentally exposed to the full glare of the Sun and then suddenly `quenched' by driving into a handy lake! Driving home from work one day Dalton encounters a group of humans whose car has broken down and he offers them refuge from the hunter vampires in his car. As a result he meets Cormac who relates the incident that cured him. From that moment on Dalton, already sympathetic to the humans' plight throws in his lot with them.

The film looks good on blu ray, has a few gory moments when blood-starved vamps go on a feeding frenzy, conveys a key economic principle of supply and demand, and, interestingly, makes an unwitting if timely point about the bloodsucking nature of big business in the form of evil tycoon Charles Bromley, ably portrayed by Sam Neill. The disc also has, as an extra feature, a brilliant 15 minute short film called The Big Picture, which is almost worth the price of the disc alone!

This is the film that asks the questions, "What if there really were vampires?" Apparently a lone bat caused an outbreak and in ten years most of the world were vampires with a critical blood shortage. Vampires who do not feed on blood turn very ugly and attack fellow vampires.

Meanwhile a group of humans have a possible cure, i.e. convert vampires to humans, but what vampire wants that?

Ethan Hawke stars is our protagonist and center point for the film. He is aide by Willem Dafoe, a former vampire who drives a Trans Am and Claudia Karvan against the evil vampire capitalist Sam Neill.

The film has what you would expect from a vampire film, ugly bat people, people on fire, people getting bit, etc. The film is entertaining, but lacks the great characters and dialog of being a hit. It needed to take Dafoe over the top and give personality to the rest of the cast.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Brief nudity of dormant humans.

This review contains some limited SPOILERS.

This is a honest SF/modern fantasy film about a world in which almost all people became vampires and humans were hunted almost to the extinction. Quite naturally, that creates a problem of blood supply and as vampire government and scientists cannot find a synthetic substitute, the increasingly thirsty citizens first start to riot - and later things get much, much worse...

The main hero, Dr Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke), is the leading vampire haematologist (a pretty nice joke in itself) working desperately on finding a blood substitute, under supervision of vampire billionaire and power broker Charles Bromley (Sam Neill), who controls most of the "blood industry" (nightmarish facilities in which blood is harvested from human chattel). But Dalton also searches for a cure against the vampirism itself, as he is deeply unhappy with his undead "life". He will ultimately find a promising lead when he is contacted by one of "wild" humans, Lionel Cormac (Willem Dafoe), who until now managed to avoid capture. The film really starts from that moment.

"Daybreakers" is not a bad film, in fact it is a nice watch, but the story and heroes adventures are ultimately rather banal and easily predictable. Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill mostly go just through the motions as two stereotypic characters, one good, one bad. People who from the beginning are marked as just fodder die, people who we expect to live survive and those who ALWAYS betray, well, they betray... The one exception here is the pretty well thought character of Edward Dalton and Ethan Hawke's performance playing him.

But the main attraction in this film is the general vision of vampire's world, which is pretty well done and by moments very amusing.

Watched this last night with my girlfriend and with both of us being seasoned viewers of the Vampire genre we weren't expecting much. However, both of us were pleasantly surprised and thought the premise was a good foundation for a movie.
The vampires as the dominant society is something I haven't seen before and enjoyed the mundaneness of their every 'night' lives. From going to work and coming home in the morning, it's pretty much like a normal humans existence. However, they have to drink blood to survive and with the human population dwindling, so does the blood supply. This leads the Vamps to try to create a synthetic food source.

The main character, played by Ethan Hawke is the chief scientist tasked with coming up with this synthetic blood. He however has become weary and has started to question the use of humans like cattle. Whilst driving home from the office one morning he bumps into some humans who he befriends. With an increasing need for blood and a 'new' form of vampire emerging it's up to them to find a cure.

Although an interesting premise the film did feel a little rushed in places and sometimes the soundtrack seemed to think that the action was more intense than it actually was. It was also pretty predictable with both of us at times saying you can see what's going to happen here and so on. However, the acting was great and a strong premise coupled with great visuals and some pretty gory action scenes managed to bring this movie above the other vampire movies currently out there.

Definitely worth a watch just don't expect a masterpiece!
