Ok, THIS was what I've been waiting for.Daybreakers is a sci-fi horror film starring Ethan Hawke as a blood scientist in a world where vampires are in the majority and humans are hunted for food.
For the first seven minutes or so, there's no dialog, just a panorama of images from a post Human world. Daytime travels trhough a silent, deserted city that comes to life as the sun sets, like some sort of slo-mo Goth Koyaanisquatsi .
Of course there's a problem- the blood supply, and the human population, is dwindling and blood starved vampires are mutating and rioting.
Human sympathetic Hawke's character falls in with a human underground to find a cure.
It's a treat to watch something like this, a stylish film with real actors. Despite the fact that it's smart, it still has a pretty good gore quotient- my favorite little touch is that people are getting their blood rations in their coffee.
Perry, who's been patient beyond belief with some of these movies, actually found it "infinitely better than what (I've) been watching." And compared to some of the stuff he's had to endure, it was.
