DAYBREAKERS - I hope you all get gingivitis you bloodsucking freaks

Hurrah...more vampires! There's no escaping the feckers these days. Every time you turn on the  idiot-box there's a new crop of the bitey c**ts strutting around in their insufferable "we're better than humans and we know it" way. This one seemed to slip under the radar, but it's an enjoyable take on a vampire-dominated future where a class war rages between upper class yuppie bloodsuckers and a feral mutating underclass of blood-starved vampiric chavs while the price of blood skyrockets due to dwindling stocks of humans.

That's right, they are using us like massive hairy battery hens while a few surviving free-range humans skulk in the shadows led by a sleep-acting Willem Defoe. Where's Blade or even the Frog brothers when you need them? The appropriately ageless Ethan Hawke play a vampire scientist searching for a blood substitute to ease the plasma draught while Sam Neill plays some bastardly vampire version of  Warren Buffet. These arent cool and sexy vampires like the ones posing their way around Bristol or Bon Temps, they are just ordinary looking accountants, doctors, policemen, tramps...they just happen to be immortal beings with a fairly allergic reaction to the sun, and have built a fully functioning futuristic society around these points.

Iffy, can't-really-be-arsed acting and the occasional "why the f**k would they do that?" moment aside, it's good clean undead fun, although the end's a bit odd...after a truly spectacular bloodbath involving dozens of blood-enraged soldiers ripping each other's giblets out the movie just....ends. So it's a bit of a mess, heavy handed allegory and shameless plugs for Chrysler abound, but it kept me conscious and semi-engaged and it's got enough exploding heads, eviscerations and overall mayhem to get a thumbs up from me.
