Road to 100: the best vampfilm so far.


thank to the twilight phenomenon, everything thing that having a vampire, mean is gonna make some cash. Thank to the fangirl craze(dreaming with a chance on doing it with Pattison). Anyway, mostly all of it, have made to tv series, the only thing that is a movie, with vamp. Is January premier Daybreakers, beside going with the whining, and gay fantasy, turning it into something futuristic and action park. That actually work? Here the review:
in the future, humanity suffer a epidemic, in which it was turn into vampires. Giving birth to a whole new race of immortality, free of every disease, and only living with the feed of blood. Now 9 year pass, and their reserve are running out, which desperation for blood, start to cause panic in the street. Turning them from regular vamp, to more freakish wing one. Now is up to blood researcher Edward Dalton(Ethan Hawke) to find a replacement, and stop this craze. So by now is hunting what is left of humanity, and get the blood necessary. Until the good doctor happen to meet a group of human, lead by Audrey(Claudia Karvan). That take him to meet the one person that can cure the vamp hunger, so humanity can survive can survive. Calling him the Elvis(Willem Defoe) . So will Ed find a solution to the vampire hunger? or will
Charles Bromley(Sam Neil) have other plans for the company that harvest the blood?
Well i must say the role of Ethan Hawke was good, than average nothing new to offer. But with that innocent look that he always have since , explorers. He will always be the good guy. Defoe gives he best John Wayne impersonation(well that how i see it) tat really doesn't fit. I respect this actor, and all he's film credentials, but here just give him the guitar and he be ready. Sam Neil the same, great actor, always doing he's devilish take, that always works. Only this time he's playing a vampire businessman. That's surely fit.
The movie star well, with the girl burning. Giving the side effect of what is been immortality is about? That later focus on the city, that really dont say. But the focus of the story of the blood reserve running out was something, new. The whole environment, from the subway, do the low lights of every house, to how they harvest the human. All was great, especially the harvesting, that really disturb me. The action is something good that directors Spierig know to do. From the first chance sequences when they are sliding to the rail of the bridge to the ambush of night, but their drama is fine too. I mean the scene that Neil want her daughter to be turn. There's another thing that confuse me, ain't she suppose to be ashes? Well anyway the suspend is rare, cause their ain't that much Cg to the whole film. Except from the burning scene.
The brothers Spierig made to the scene with their zombie film Undead. Now their take to the vampire, work, i mean the acting is average, but the whole plot that is all about is what sold it. The Aussie knew, only to make car film, and something. But doing something else really fit. I m starting to look forward what else can this brother do. Cause their wave of making films, could star a new style of grind house film.
