"Life's a bitch and then you don't die," says Ethan Hawke, vampire, physician and human-sympathizer in this scary, interesting and, yes, inspiring horror, sci-fi thriller.
It's a rare moment of levity in this noir film (Shall we say rouge considering all the gushing, geysering blood?), where humans are an endangered species and vampires rule. It's not looking good for the homo sapiens. And just think about what's happening to the food supply.
It does sound a tad hokey. But the Movie Slut promises that "Daybreakers" breaks through the silly screen fillers thanks to an imaginative plot, a meaningful message, and an excellent cast, including San Neill, the vampire villain, and Willem Dafoe, a turned vampire who's now human — sort of.
The MS challenges you to witness the brilliant finale without drawing parallels to the absurdity of man's inhumanity to man in the real world.
"There is a cure. You can be turned. There is hope," Hawke says at the end of the movie.
If only.
