DAYBREAKERS (B-)

Starring: Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Isabel Lucas and Sam Neill

Story: Two-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world's population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race. (Lionsgate)

Rated: R for strong bloody violence, language and brief nudity

Bottom Line: It’s pretty fun to watch big league actors like Ethan Hawke and William Dafoe dabble in this bloody, sci-fi, slickly-inventive, little B-movie piece of corn ball cinema. This vampire movie actually has some bite!
