Coming with a neat premise - in the near future almost the whole world has become vampires and humans and their blood are in short supply - Daybreakers almost manages to overcome its modest budget to make a minor genre classic. Some of the characters are a little too familiar - a self-loathing emo vampire (hello, Louis from Interview with the Vampire) who refuses to drink human blood and what is it with only rednecks being able to cope with the various Apocalyses (Apocali?) - but the style and world-building are cool. However, with all the potential for exploration, it feels a little short in length and could've benefited from another 10 minutes of run time.
Score: 7/10. Catch it on DVD.
