Review: Daybreakers

January 14, 2010 11:53

Peter and Michael Spierig’s first Hollywood project opened at #4 in the US last weekend, and both Paul Hayes and Miguel Gonzalez believe there’s still a lot of box office blood ready for Daybreakers to suck dry.

Paul Hayes:

Vampires are the flavour of the month, but the latest from filmmaking twins, Peter and Michael Spierig, is no angst ridden teen romance.

Daybreakers is set in a not-too distant future where 95 percent of the world’s population has been turned into vampires and human blood is fast running out.

Looking forward to seeing it. But isn’t there a danger that the public appetite for vampire flicks will disappear as quickly as it began?

It will never disappear; it’s the kind of thing that goes through popularity cycles through the years. At this stage, we have at least one or two more years of Twilight fever, with Eclipse coming out later this year – and the last film will probably be ready for 2011.
