Daybreakers is a vampire thriller film written and directed by Peter and Michael Spierig. The film stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. Daybreakers was released in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2010 and was released in North America on January 8, 2010. Synopsis - Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a hematologist in the year 2019, in which a plague has transformed much of the world's population into vampires. Edward is employed by Bromley Marks, a pharmaceutical company that is the chief supplier of blood for the American population, which is operated by Charles Bromley (Sam Neill). As the human population nears extinction, vampires
must capture and farm every remaining human for their blood, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. When deprived of blood for extended periods of time, vampires lose their human-like characteristics and begin to transform into winged bat-like monsters called "sub-siders," those of which have diminished mental capacity and no ability to speak and are driven strictly by their impulse to feed.

After several controlled exposures using the vat's air vent to suck out the fire, the experiment is successful and Edward is cured. Meanwhile a convoy of humans were on their way back to the humans' shelter. The convoy included the human daughter of Charles Bromley, Alison (Isabel Lucas), who abandoned her father after he became a vampire. They are ambushed by a troop of vampires and taken to Bromley Marks. Alison then comes face to face with her father, who attempts to convince her that being a vampire is a better life. She then stabs him and tries to run. Frankie (Michael Dorman) comes in and then knocks her out. Bromley then persuades Frankie to turn Alison into a vampire, despite her resistance to become one. Later Bromley goes to see how his...more
