Writer/directors Michael and Peter Spierig Live in Person!

The year is 2019. A mysterious plague has swept over the earth, transforming the majority of the world's population into vampires. Humans are now an endangered, second-class species – forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction. It’s all up to Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans. But time and hope are running out – until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race. Daybreakers opens nationwide on January 8, 2010. Special thanks to Lionsgate for arranging this event.

3 stars. This big budget vampire flick boasts an very intriguing and unique premise, but nearly collapses on itself by adopting the same shiny blue-grey hue of recent new wave bloodsucker pics ("underworld", "twilight", etc.) as well as their overly serious tone. Trust me - at this point, we must laugh at vampires (spierlg brothers, see "zombieland"). This film does precious little of this. But even so, the assured direction and production design save the day.
