Starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, Vince Colosimo, Jay Laga'aia, Claudia Karvan, Isabel Lucas, Daybreakers puts to rest the idea that Vampire films have gone soft since the release of Twilight.
In 2019, a plague has transformed much of the world's population into vampires. With the human population headed for extinction, the vampires must farm the surviving humans for their blood. However, demand for human blood is now far out-weighing supply. When deprived of blood for extended periods of time, vampires devolve into winged bat-like monsters called "sub-siders." The chief supplier of blood for the American population is the pharmaceutical company Bromley Marks, which is headed by Charles Bromley (Sam Neill). Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is a haematologist employed by Bromley Marks.
A covert group of humans discover a cure to vampirism. After being saved by Edward, Audrey (Claudia Karvan) - the group's leader - brings him in on the secret. One of the group, Elvis (Willem Dafoe), is a human who was cured of being a vampire.
