Daybreakers... A review and why we are pissed

     If you think that this is just another vampire movie, you are right. However, there are some "hot" elements to this one that I haven't seen in other vampire movies. Before we start, Daybreakers is a movie where vampires are the majority, and people are the minority. This makes me very angry for a reason I will reveal to you later. Anywho, the vampires have taken "all" remaining humans and started farming them for blood. This movie did meet my expecations and I do suggest it for monster movie fans. The picture at the head of this post, does have something I need to adress, if you go in to this one expecting The Matrix meets 28 Days Later, you will be dissapointed. If anything this movie is the bastard son of 28 Days Later and the milkman. My views about the movie and why i'm pissed after the jump.

SPOILER ALERT

     I did like the movie but I saw some a few problems with it. First off, I understand that they were trying to be creative while at the same time they were trying to follow the main storybook rules of vampires. I also enjoyed that the vampires exploded when stabbed with anything wooden, in fact I enjoyed that alot. I laughed a couple times. What I found weird was instead of the main character finding a chemical cure for vampirism(or the "outbreak" as it is called in the film), they figure out that by exposing a vampire to sunlight and quickly putting it out, it kickstarts it's heart. Don't get me wrong, it's a novel idea and all, but it's just as much a stretch as a cut and dry chemical cure. The rest of the movie was good, the only other thing that bothered me was the way that they created new problems at the end, when you would think that it is the falling action(yes i'm using schoolbook theater terms, deal with it). This happens a few times actually; Seems like they were trying to get you excited again before they ended the movie. It's not just once either, it happens a handful of times. It doesn't work either, I think they should have used some plain ol toasters instead but that's just me. Now onto the best part, the reason why this movie pissed us off here at Riverside Metal soo much...

WE THOUGHT OF IT FIRST!

Yeah, yeah I know you've heard it before, but just shut up and listen. Metal Messiah and I would always have random creative pow-wows when we where in school. One of these occured after watching Hot Fuzz in theaters. We were talking and he brought up the idea that we should have a reverse vampire movie. Where the vampires were the majority and they were afraid of humans. I hear you now, "Anyone could have thought of that!", or "theCrowing, how do I get splooge stains out of my wife's favorite dress? Hurry, she's coming home in an hour." I'll adress the former and ignore the latter(partly because the second question has nothing to do with the topic at hand, and also because mr.sploogedress, there aint a thing you can do for splooge stains of that magnitude in an hour. sorry). Yes anyone could have thought of it, but WE did. I'll admit there is not a thing I can do about but it, and that's why i'm gonna take it out on you, the reader, because you can't do anything to me, and plus you aren't reading this. Or are you reading this?
