Well it seems like my wish may be semi granted with the film Daybreakers. It's a vampire movie but from the trailer I saw there was no teenage angst or bizarro love triangle between a vampire, werewolf and human. Instead it was precisely what I asked for, a movie where the humans are harvested purely for their blood. In this story the vampires are the dominant race in a not too distant future. Unfortunately they are indulging a little too much in their favourite snack, human blood, and the vamps risk losing their food source and the human race is facing extinction. What ensues is a race against time for both the human race and the vampires as another source of blood must be found in order for both species to survive. The film stars Ethan Hawke as a vampire, Willem Dafoe as crossbow toting human resistance fighter and Australia's own Sam Freaking Neil as a vampire. It looks pretty cool and reminds of Blade and Underworld in its look and style of action and I liked the way they used Placebo's Running Up That Hill in the trailer. It comes out in early January and for those fans of Underworld and Blade looking for a fun, gory alternative to Twilight then this should be one to check out.
