Daybreakers

BBFC Consumer Advice: Contains strong bloody violence and horror.

Immortal vampires and their human prey are locked in a struggle for supremacy - and survival - in a world that's rapidly running out of blood.

It's the year 2019 and a plague has swept across the world, transforming most of the people into vampires. Having being hunted to near-extinction, humans have now become an ulra-rare food resource. Power-hungry corporate boss Charles Bromley (Sam Neill) seeks to farm the remaining humans to maintain a precious supply of blood, but Chief Blood Researcher Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) thinks he have come up with a viable blood substitute. Meanwhile, crossbow-brandishing outlaw Elvis (Willem Dafoe) heads a group of surviving humans who need Edward's help if they have any chance of rebuilding their race. Offering action adventure with a sci-fi twist, the twin-brother writer/director team of Michael and Peter Spierig create a frighteningly believable futuristic world where the last remains of humanity are faced with extinction.
