I went to the movies with my friends one night, picked a random movie and time slot, and choose Daybreakers. I didn’t have any expectations when I saw this, like with any new movie that comes out. The first thing that struck me was that it had Sam Neil in it, the actor who played Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park  I was excited for this, as I’m a huge JP fan.

I love how the filmmakers tried to make this one like a horror movie.  This movie is so mediocre, I’ll spoil the whole thing for you: in the opening, a bat flashes on the screen and screeches just to scare the audience.

The story revolves around the following:  the human race has been partially converted to an entire race of vampires who feed on blood. In this “vampire world” everyone lives underground to avoid the sunlight during the day, however they can use cars with sun shields to drive around on the surface.

Humans of course are still living on the surface, but the vampires have a special police force to go after the humans. A scientist played by Ethan Hawke is working on a special blood substitute for vampires to deal with the shortage of blood. After a failed experiment, he sets out to find the perfect substitute, and runs into some humans on the surface, who reveal it to him. The other vampires however don’t like this, and would rather stay immortal.

As the movie goes on, the blood shortage gets worse as other vampires in “vampire world” start to decay and turn to ugly vampires that are un-human like. Once many vampires turn into mutant vampires, they are no longer accepted by their civilization. They are executed by being dragged by a chain attached to a tank for some reason, driving into the sunlight.

The humans then find a way to convert vampires back to humans by simply having a converted vampire suck the blood of a human. They do this to the leader of the vampires (Sam Neil), and he turns into a human. At this point the entire police force, which rages for human blood, finds out that he isn’t a vampire anymore, and they attempt to suck the blood out of him which turns all of them into humans.

Then another hoard of vampire police forces come after the other hoard of converted vampire police forces and sucks their blood and kills them. They become humans. Then another hoard of vampire police forces come after them and sucks their blood and become humans.

Then guess what?

Another hoard of evil vampire police forces comes after the human police forces, sucks their blood, kills them, and becomes humans. Finally the entire police force is dead, leaving the remaining converted vampire police forces (who are human now) alive. At this point they are shocked and confused to why there are so many dead police forces on the ground bitten and brutally attacked and murdered to death.

So there you have it, the entire vampire race all converted to humans, they live happily ever after, the end. But wait! The flying bat comes on the screen to scare the audience. OOOH, SCARY!
