00:00Hi! Movie Recaps here! Today, I will show you an action-adventure-fantasy film from
00:062009, titled Daybreakers. Spoilers ahead! Watch out, and take care!
00:13In the year 2019, a little girl writes a letter where she describes how she will never change
00:17or grow up, which she can't take anymore. She leaves the house to watch the sunrise,
00:21and when she looks up, we see her yellow eyes. She's a vampire. As soon as the sun comes
00:26up, her entire body burns. Then we're shown the world is empty during the day. Because
00:30of a plague caused by an infected bat in 2009, most of mankind has become vampires. The human
00:36population is plummeting, and researchers are starting to look for blood substitutes
00:40to keep the vampire population fed, while a small group of them fight for human rights
00:44since they are being hunted and farmed. When night falls, the world comes alive again.
00:48We see vampires go on their normal lives as humans used to do, hanging out or going to
00:53work. There's even a hobo vampire begging for blood that threatens a random citizen.
00:57The police electrocute him for it. Meanwhile, taking his car and then the subway for work
01:02is our protagonist, Edward Dalton. He works as a hematologist for Bromsley-Marx, a pharmaceutical
01:07company and important blood supplier. After going through security at the building's
01:11entrance, Edward passes by the rooms with the machines that farm humans, which he hates,
01:15before going to his lab. He's working on trying to find a blood substitute, but his
01:19latest try is also a failure. Afterward, he has a meeting with his boss, Charles Bromley,
01:24his lab partner Christopher Caruso, a commissioner, and an army officer. The commissioner informs
01:30them of the results of the experiment they've conducted on a death row inmate. He was selected
01:34for a study on the effects of blood deprivation. The lack of blood caused a complete degeneration
01:38of the brain's frontal lobe. The first signs of it were his ears getting longer. He quickly
01:42deteriorated into a Nosferatu-like creature with no rationality or emotions. They call
01:48these creatures subsiders, and they're becoming a problem on the streets. Only 5% of the human
01:52population is left, and if they don't find a substitute soon, they will all become subsiders.
01:58Bromley cuts in and takes Edward to his office for a private meeting, where Edward ignores
02:01the coffee with blood he's served while Bromley tells him his story. He used to have
02:06cancer, but vampirism cured him. His daughter refused to turn, though, and she ran away.
02:10He knows Edward pities humans and so does he. That's why they need to begin the testing
02:14as soon as possible to save the human race. Edward goes to his lab and discusses this
02:19with Christopher, who, after some hesitation, points out that the substitute is working
02:23on a monkey, so it's time to move on beyond animal testing. Moments later, the researchers
02:28begin the test while Bromley and some officers watch through a window. Edward slowly injects
02:33a substitute into a private's body, who at first feels fine, but once the whole dose
02:37is in, he pukes and starts convulsing as nasty blisters appear all over his body. The researchers
02:42immediately move to hold him down and inject him with epimony, which does stop his shaking
02:47and makes the blisters disappear, but a second later, his whole body explodes.
02:52Later that night, Edward leaves the office and drives home. He's watching the news
02:56on his car, which talks about riots related to blood rationing schemes, when he notices
03:00something wrong while scratching his ear. He opens his camera mirror and checks. His
03:04ears are starting to grow long. This distraction causes him not to see the car coming from
03:09the opposite direction. He manages to dodge at the last second and stops his vehicle,
03:13but the other car crashes against a fence. Edward comes out to help and takes an arrow
03:17to the arm. The people getting out of the other car are humans, and their leader, Audrey
03:22Bennett, has a crossbow to defend themselves from vampires. Suddenly, police cars can be
03:27heard approaching them, so Edward swears he just wants to help and asks the humans to
03:31get in his car, which they accept after some hesitation. Edward activates the car's daytime
03:36protection driving mode, which turns all the windows black, then takes out the arrow
03:40from his arm as the police arrive. While he lies to them and tells them which direction
03:44the humans ran to, Audrey finds Edward's ID badge and learns his occupation. After
03:49the police are gone, the humans get out of the car, and Audrey wishes Edward a happy
03:53birthday as they all leave. Moments later, Edward is arriving at home, where a community
03:57announcement is warning everyone of the oncoming sunrise. Once he makes it to his house, he
04:02has dinner and starts taking care of his plants, when he suddenly receives a visit
04:06from his brother, Frankie Dalton, who he hasn't seen in months because he joined the army.
04:10Frankie comments on the lack of birthday party, to which Edward replies that he's turned
04:1435 ten times already, but Frankie doesn't care. He thinks that they must celebrate,
04:19and for that, he brought an expensive bottle of 100% pure human blood. He pours two glasses
04:25as he teases his brother for drinking pig blood, but Edward turns it down. This enrages
04:29Frankie, who starts an old argument of theirs. Edward doesn't touch human blood, but still
04:34works for a company that farms people, which he sees as a necessary evil to be able to
04:38find a substitute. Yet he also looks down on Frankie for hunting humans for the army.
04:43Edward suddenly grabs the blood bottle and starts pouring it down the drain, but Frankie
04:47takes it from him and smashes it against the wall before trying to leave. He can't, however,
04:52because a subsider gets in his way. The creature enters the kitchen and starts licking the
04:56blood off the walls, then moves onto the glass on the table. Frankie grabs a knife
05:00from the holder, which startles the subsider and makes it push him against the wall. He
05:04falls on a glass table and loses consciousness for a few seconds. The subsider moves towards
05:09Edward next, and he keeps it at bay with a stool while calling out his brother's name.
05:13Frankie wakes up and retrieves the knife. Together, the brothers try to attack the subsider,
05:18but it jumps away to hang from the ceiling. This allows Frankie to slash at it a few times
05:22before decapitating it. Moments later, the police arrive to take the case, commenting
05:26on the fact that the subsiders are in the suburbs now. One of the officers finds a ring
05:31on the creature, which makes Edward realize it was a local gardener. She also finds self-inflicted
05:36wounds. Feeding on themselves speeds up the mutation.
05:39The next morning, Edward is woken up by a security alert. He goes to check, and when
05:44turning on the lights, he finds Audrey pointing a crossbow at him. She tells him that they've
05:48been looking for vampires they can trust, and that they need his help to find another
05:51way besides the substitute. She also gives him a sheet of paper with a map on it. Edward
05:56is suddenly distracted by a noise and turns around, allowing Audrey to silently leave.
06:01When he checks on the noise, it turns out to be Frankie, who asks Edward about the woman.
06:06Edward replies it's nothing. Later at night, the news shows investors are
06:09pulling their human supplies from Bromley's. Edward goes to work and meets with his boss
06:13to ask for a guarantee that the substitute would replace the need for human supply. Bromley
06:18replies that the majority of the population will be happy with it, but a small sector
06:23will always demand the real thing. Edward reminds him that that would include Bromley's
06:26daughter, before going back to his lab to stare at the map.
06:30When morning comes, Edward doesn't return home. He puts up the light protection on his
06:34car, and follows the map into the countryside, where Audrey is already waiting for him and
06:38tells him to approach a big tree. He parks under the shadow of that tree, and after putting
06:43on his hat and sunglasses, he leaves the car. Always being careful not to step into the
06:48light, he approaches an old man, Lionel Elvis Cormack. This man used to be a vampire, yet
06:53he's human now. Edward wants to know how, but they're interrupted by Audrey coming
06:57closer, held at gunpoint by Frankie. Edward wants to stop him, but Frankie won't listen.
07:02An army backup is already arriving. Audrey pushes Frankie into the sunlight and
07:06joins the men. They take Edward's car, because the soldiers have already opened fire and
07:10destroyed Lionel's vehicle. They are chased and shot at as they drive away, which creates
07:15holes in the car's dark protection. At first, Audrey manages to cover them with her
07:19hands, but they become too many and the camera is shot as well, so Edward can't see ahead.
07:24Lionel takes over the wheel, so he can see the road through a hole and Edward can hide
07:28from the light. When they reach a dingy bridge, Lionel drives as fast as possible to cross
07:32it safely, but the military truck is too heavy and the bridge breaks under it, causing the
07:37truck to explode. The rest of the backup is left behind without a way to follow.
07:41After night falls, they park next to a river, and Lionel tells Edward his story. He used
07:46to work on daylight modifications for cars and had one of the first shops in town that
07:50made them. Daylight driving is amazing because there are no other people around, but it can
07:55also be dangerous for the driver. That's what happened to Lionel. He wasn't feeling
07:59well because he hadn't fed, so he accidentally crashed the car against the river fence. The
08:03crash ejected him from the car, and he caught on fire before falling into the river. When
08:07he came out of the river, he was human again. Lionel and Audrey want Edward to recreate
08:12these conditions safely. Back at the company, Bromley's staring at some pictures of his
08:16daughter when Frankie arrives to see him. Bromley congratulates him on having reported
08:20what happened and tells him that if Edward returns immediately, no formal charges will
08:25be laid. Frankie accepts to do anything Bromley asks of him. Meanwhile, Edward and the humans
08:30are back in his car, driving to their safe house. Edward can't stop staring at Audrey's
08:34neck. When she notices this and his pointy ears, she cuts her hand and pours some blood
08:38into a cup for him to drink. He refuses at first, but Audrey needs to know that the other
08:43humans will be safe around him, so he accepts the cup and drinks it. A few hours later,
08:48they make it to a very old vineyard, where Edward meets other humans including Jarvis,
08:53who is leading a group of rescuers to find more humans. After entering the house, he
08:57also meets Senator Wes Turner, a vampire politician in favor of protecting human rights and finding
09:03a cure. After briefly cutting to Bromley watching how one of his machines has lost
09:07all its humans and his researchers taking out a body, we are shown a coffee stand at
09:12the subway station, where a man complains about his coffee not having enough blood.
09:16The employee tells him that 5% is as much as she's allowed to serve, but the man won't
09:20take no for an answer. He steals a blood bag, and when breaking it, he splashes everyone
09:24around him, sending them into a frenzy. The people riot and attack the coffee stand to
09:29steal more blood, causing the police to arrive to electrocute them into submission.
09:33The next morning at the vineyard, Edward takes some blood from Lionel to run some tests while
09:37he asks some questions about how he felt the day he became human. Edward thinks maybe the
09:42only way to treat the blood is inside the body, controlling the daylight burn. Some
09:46hours later, when he leaves the lab to take a break, most humans move away from him. Audrey
09:51comes to tell him that they may fear him, but still think he can help. Edward confesses
09:56that he didn't want to turn, but Frankie betrayed him and turned him anyway. It's
10:00then that Edward notices the fermentation tanks, and after Audrey confirms that they're
10:04airtight, they go to look at them from the inside. The tanks have air extractors that
10:08would allow them to put out a fire, and Edward decides to use them for the experiment, so
10:13they start working on the necessary modifications. Later, in the middle of the night, we see
10:18Jarvis' group on the road taking a convoy of rescued humans to the vineyard, including
10:22Bromley's daughter, Allison. When a shot gives them a flat tire, they're forced to
10:26stop their cars. They get out with their weapons ready, but the army is surrounding them, and
10:30after a short shooting exchange, all humans are knocked out. Allison manages to contact
10:35the vineyard before she falls unconscious too, so when Frankie takes the walkie-talkie
10:39from her hands, they use it to track the call and find the location of the vineyard. At
10:43the vineyard, all the humans are grabbing their things and getting into their cars,
10:47ready to follow Tuner to his safe house. But Edward wants to stay behind because there
10:51won't be another chance to recreate the experiment, so Lionel and Audrey decide to stay behind
10:56as well and help. Back at Bromley's, Allison wakes up in her father's office and grabs
11:00a knife as he arrives to see her. Allison begs for her friend's lives, but Bromley
11:05says he is happy to see her, but as he hugs her, admits he can't do anything for her
11:09friends. Allison pushes him away and runs to the door but she's knocked out by a soldier
11:14as Bromley realizes his daughter has stabbed him. When morning comes to the vineyard, the
11:18experiment is ready to start. Audrey will watch the monitors while Lionel will stay
11:22in the tank with Edward, who has the heart monitor connected to his chest and is covered
11:26by a wet blanket. The process is simple. They open a hole in the tank to let the sunlight
11:30burn Edward. Then they use the air extractor to turn off the fire. The first two tries
11:35are a failure, but they let Edward burn long enough for the third, and this time it works.
11:40Edward manages to become human again. Their happiness is interrupted by the army arriving
11:44to raid the place, but they avoid getting caught by hiding in a wine barrel.
11:49We cut to the company again, when Frankie is visiting Bromley, who is being treated
11:52for his wound. Bromley asks Frankie to do something for him, and Frankie leaves the
11:57room to see Allison in her cell. She still doesn't want to be turned, but Frankie goes
12:01ahead and bites her anyway. Back in the vineyard, the trio leaves the hiding spot after making
12:06sure it's safe. Edward goes outside and is amazed by the sunlight touching his skin
12:10without burning, while Lionel retrieves an old car of his. Meanwhile, in the company,
12:15Bromley sees how all of his machines are empty now before checking on his daughter, who is
12:19not drinking her blood rations. Bromley enters the cell and discovers she's biting herself,
12:24which will mutate her. She attacks her dad and blames him for everything before she's
12:28taken away. After the military imposes martial law so that they can freely fight the subsiders
12:33on the streets, we cut to Edward, Audrey, and Lionel, who are arriving at Tuner's
12:37cabin, only to find all the humans dead. Audrey is starting to lose hope, but Edward
12:41says he knows someone that can help. After briefly cutting to Christopher achieving a
12:45breakout at the lab, we're shown how the military is dragging the subsiders out in
12:49the sunlight for execution. Allison is among them, and watching her die makes Frankie reconsider
12:54his position. Later at night, Christopher returns to his house, where he finds the trio
12:59waiting for him. Edward tells him that he has a cure, which is better than the substitute,
13:03and asks for his help to recreate the experiment. Their talk is interrupted by the phone ringing,
13:08so Christopher leaves the room to take the call. When he takes too long to come back,
13:11they get suspicious, so Audrey goes and finds him while Edward and Lionel check his code.
13:16Turns out Christopher has left his cell phone open on a call all this time, and now everyone
13:20at the company knows where they are. The army suddenly arrives, and Audrey is knocked out
13:24and captured, but Lionel and Edward manage to escape using the subwalk tunnels. They
13:29decide to hide in an old abandoned garage, where they are attacked by a subsider. Frankie
13:33arrives then and shoots the creature before noticing his brother has become human, making
13:37him confess he only turned him because he didn't want to see him die. He admits he
13:41made a mistake, and now he wants to help, but when Lionel comes closer, his thirst gets
13:45the better of him, and he jumps on the human to bite him. Edward grabs him and pushes him
13:49off Lionel. He's ready to shoot his brother, but stops himself when he notices something.
13:54Moments later, we see Edward willingly enter the company building, setting off the alarms
13:58with his human condition. Security catches him and takes him to Bromley's office, who
14:03currently has Audrey bleeding on a chair and is drinking her blood. Edward tells him he
14:07regrets everything and wants to be a vampire again, upsetting Audrey with his betrayal.
14:12Bromley shows him that they finally found a substitute so he doesn't need Edward anymore,
14:15and he calls him a coward. Edward says Bromley is a coward too, because he couldn't turn
14:19his own daughter. Furious, Bromley bites Edward, but Edward doesn't mind. In fact, this has
14:25been his plan all along. Bromley starts transforming into a human, and as Edward remembers how
14:30Frankie turned as well, he explains drinking treated vampire blood is the cure. Bromley
14:35presses an alarm to call for security, and we cut to see a bunch of army trucks arriving
14:39at the parking lot. When the soldiers leave their vehicles and approach the elevator,
14:43the doors open to reveal Bromley tied to a chair, causing the vampires to go into a frenzy
14:47and feed on him. Meanwhile, Aubrey and Edward, now armed with weapons he's found around,
14:52go downstairs and are about to leave the building when more soldiers arrive to block
14:56their way. The glass doors suddenly shatter when Frankie drives Lionel's car inside,
15:00hitting all the soldiers to save his brother. But backup immediately arrives and now they're
15:05surrounded. Frankie tells Edward to go before sacrificing himself, allowing all the soldiers
15:09to jump on him and eat him. Edward doesn't have time to grieve his death because a security
15:13guard has taken Audrey and he must rescue her. He follows them to a security room, when
15:18after some struggling, Edward manages to kill two vampire guards and help Audrey kill
15:22the third. Then they watch on the security cameras how the soldiers that fed on Frankie
15:26became human, and the other vampire soldiers are now attacking them as well. A feeding
15:31massacre occurs, and by the time Edward and Audrey come back to the lobby, only a handful
15:36of human soldiers are left standing. Christopher shows up and then shoots a couple of soldiers,
15:41claiming there can't be a cure. He's about to shoot them too, when an arrow hits his
15:44chest and kills him. It came from Lionel, who's arrived to help. Audrey gives him
15:49a hug while Edward watches his brother's body and the light of the rising sun slowly
15:52make its way inside. The movie ends with the trio leaving in Lionel's car, while Edward
15:57tells us that they now have the cure and they can change everyone back. It's not too late.
