Daybreakers

Go out and rent this movie. I missed it when it first came out in theaters. Which was too bad, because it's actually not bad at all.

Nice change of ideas, to have the world basically populated with Vampires and the humans are the rarity. Almost seemed like a take on modern society whether intentional or not, about overpopulation and the dwindling of natural resources. In this case human blood.

I wouldn't even call it a horror movie really. I could so far as to say I would have liked it to have been a HBO mini series type of thing, or possibly a couple of movies that could have started with the beginning of the plague and the rise of the vampire society to the fall of humans all in a 10 year span. And than have this movie which dealt with the crunch of lack of resources and the search for a synthetic substitute and the discovery of the cure. And the people who want to stay vampire for all the 'health' benefits that it imparts.

Was kind of humorous how the new society was very much like the old, but on the opposite side of the clock.

Anyway, held my attention for a couple hours. And is certainly worth the rental.
