This movie had an interesting plot, but didn’t make enough money since it was released at a bad time when Twilight was still around and everyone was tired of seeing vampire movies.
Damn, because of an infected bat? It's irresistible to make a rona reference.
@@sola9298 hahaha you stole this :D
Well no one will ever know WHAT THIS MOVIE EVEN IS TITLED cuz the UPLOADER FAILED TO TELL US ANYWHERE. They didn't even have the courtesy to write it in the video description!
@@Some_One_One daybreakers
@@Some_One_One It's literally 0:07... every video like this says what the movie is called at the beginning.
"Because of a plague caused by an infected bat, most of mankind has become vampires" ah, yes, that one :D
Sounds familiar
But reality is such disapointment.
I wish, I had vampire power. I would have atleast sucked every inch of blood from all of my enemies over the years. Then I would have turned all the police, lawyers,judges,politicians etc etc unto vampire by infecting them. Literally would have became immortal from it.
@@orionemperor5319 Stupid username “Every inch of blood” Weird punctuation Only reason there aren’t spelling mistakes is because of autocorrect 11 year old edgelord on his iPad past bedtime alert
We don't call them vampires though. We call them narcissist. Always thirsting for attention. 🤣
In a way, Frankie did everything for his brother. He even forced him to be a vampire and went after those humans to try and save him. In the end he sacrificed his own life… He never cared about being a vampire. He only cared about his brother and making sure he would be okay.
Yep, the all for family guy, if he was Don he will probably succeed in saving his family and not die...
His death reminds me of that ending from Devil's Playground... And now I'm getting some form of PTSD...
*Dominic toretto has entered the chat*
Death vs *_Brotherhood_*
Dominic Frankie, what a perfect brother, imagine he survived
This film remains one of my most favorite movies of all time, purely because of how committed it was towards it's worldbuilding and in-universe lore. It clocks in at less than two hours, but manages to craft a whole world out of a single throwaway idea. It's so satisfying. Really has a lot of potential if it were to ever be rebooted or revisited.
100%
I like how they make all the vampires smokers because "health warnings" have no relevance anymore.

@@alexzhao9868 lmao wtf, based schizo
@@robertmartin2867 pls what's the title
You'd think that a balance could be set between vamps and humans by having people get tax breaks by providing their own blood to keep the other popluation of vamps going, and at the same time with vamps providing extra labor/work overnights.
Wouldn’t that be helpful, but nah people are assholes so that likely wouldn’t happen.
Not when vampires don’t age and are stronger.
Twilight shit
Hang on don’t we humans already donate blood foe a good cause, then they use it to create makeup and rest goes to the vamps lol
if at least 50% adult population is still human, yes
This movie demonstrates the other part of what I call The Vampire's dilemma: by whittling down the human population to the point that they no longer pose a threat to vampires, the vampires have diminished their prey supply to the point where it can no longer replenish itself.
That depends on whos writing the plot, usually vampires don't turn people just by a bite, they also need to add their own blood into the human. So feeding is usually sucking blood without leaving a trace of what happened and only on extremely rare cases the vampire then willingly converts some.
@@HelmuthGerka the problem isn't about converting your food supply into competition. The problem is that a vampire's main prey species is notably more proactive in defense against predators than just about every other form of life on this planet. Look at it this way. Lions also need to be significantly outnumbered by their prey in order to avoid hunting them to extinction and subsequently starving. However, when lions aren't present, gazelles and zebras do little defensively beyond keeping a watch for predators. They don't seek out nearby prides to wipe them out pre-emptively. Humans have done that, multiple times. Add to that the fact that every 24-hour cycle has a period that is mostly harmless to Humans but potentially lethal to vampires, and you have the reason that modern vampire stories have vampire society intent on concealing their very existence from the herds.
@@HelmuthGerka you know a lot of vampires lol???
That's how creatures go extinct. They overpopulate without natural predators/have extremely long lifespan that the food source can't sustain them. If they're unable to eat anything else then they die out.
That's lazy writing tho. Like in Priest. And this movie is so good because it starts on the premise "what if vampirism was a easy to catch disease"
The most unrealistic part about this was them "tracing" a walkie talkie "call". Not sure the writers knew how walkie talkies work...
Lol
You can triangulate a radio call, and trace where it came from. It's done all the time by the military.
@@DH-xw6jp As it's happening, yes. Not afterward though, that's not how it works...
It's a movie about vampires and somehow, the walkie talkie part was unrealistic for you
@@sauravpurohit7637 😂😂😂
I like that Edwards ears got smaller around 8:55 when Audrey gave him blood. He shouldn’t have declined the bottle from his brother. He’s working on the substitutes and needs to stay “healthy” to continue that work.
Yup. They couldn't resist the cheesy Hollywood b.s. morality
yup, I always thought that was dumb as hell. I mean, je doesnt kboe any of the people from the bottled blood wine thingy, but did get a sip of from the love interest. That's so hollywood
If you watch the vampire diaries you may be able to relate how someone may not want to drink human blood for personal reasons and be a better person at the cost of being weaker, but then again that show also has cruel mass innocent deaths cause vampires. Best show ever made imo
@@crimsonlightbinderI mean, kinda the same reason why some people only buy animal products from local farms, only that they dont turn into gollum-vampires if they dont
This must be the best vampire movie I've ever seen. Very mature and believable.

Ultraviolet is quite good too

Vampire diaries is horrible
@@ruslan_toychibaev Arghh!! Why do you comment this same thing everywhere??
One of the most amazing vampire movie ever made. And let's not ignore Ethan Hawks outstanding performance.
@@ruslan_toychibaev Then maybe they are not so fantastic... Either that, or you need to get better at marketing your videos.
Omg What's the name of this movie
@@coraline8023 Daybreakers (2009). It focuses on Vampire Apocalypse I stead of zombie apocalypse. I will recommend you to watch Stakeland movie as well, that's another Vampire Apocalypse movie.
I watched a movie but dont understand how vampires are not strong as usualy...example when that subsider attack Edward and his brother in his house...they soo weak like normal humans...no extra speed or strenght
@@ruslan_toychibaev dude fcking stop this it's clearly not working if your bagging in every vedio I watch
“Because of a plague caused by an infected bat, most of humanity has become vampires-” Coronavirus: **closes book** Like that’s ever gonna happen
It's almost like Fauci watched this and came up with an excuse for the leak in the Wuhan lab where they were doing Gain of Function Research illegally.
Only a matter of time. Humans with their evil devices nothing is out of the realm.
"...accidentally crashed the car against the river fence. The crash ejected him from the car, and he caught on fire before falling into the water." Yea we want you to recreate this, but safely.
All they would need is to get out of car long enough then jump in a pond, idk why they had to make it so complicated
"Plague Turns Most Humans Into Vampires And The Remaining Ones Are Hunted And Farmed." Well, that sure sucks for humanity.
Quite the opposite in this movie. When most people are vampire, it's mean very limited food source. Who some moron that allowed most people to be vampire anyway?
I blame the vampire activists.
@@Ilyas-ty6cy P vi
@@Ilyas-ty6cy nobody allowed it , the vampires got out of control and started turning everyone
In 2021 we know for a fact that infected bat virus doesn't cause you to become a vampire.
Fun fact: The contributing factors to the rising population of vampires were the Human activists that advocated for Vampire to have rights. Ain’t that a kick in the head.
Ohhh boy
100% would happen in real life too
Kind of like Detroit: Become Human. I actually prefer the ending where the androids lose.
Then the vampires fed on those advocates that gave them freedom and rights. How ironic.
@@user-tj4ee6si7x what do you mean by that?
I loved this movies as a child, probably because it was the only one around that time that didn't romanticize vampires ( if there were others, I don't remember them). The saddest part was when the daughter died. Franky's character development also stood out to me and the idea of vampires turning into even greater predators in stages of hunger, not many vampire movies did that
admit it you wished you were a human hiding from those vampires as a child
5:00 My guy, Frankie gets SMACKED from the kitchen, through the dining room, and puts a body-sized hole in the wall. And you say “it pushed him against the wall”? 😂
This is the most criminally underrated movie!!! I don’t even like vampire movies but this is probably the best take on the genre! Let me go watch again
You might like 30 days of night. It's a more carnal take on vampires instead of the whole pretty boy/girl vampire.
@@ruslan_toychibaev i know your country turned Capitalist like 30 years ago after almost 8 decades of Communist rule but this is not how you advertise your services my guy
Interview With A Vampire is my personal favorite depiction of the genre.
It was good but how they cured vampires was just cheesy
What is the name of this movie?
Imagine being a vampire with all the cons and none of the pros
to be fair it did cure that one dudes cancer so i assume that it cured every other diseases also
@@gayfrog6188 Yeah the only problem is that they treated humans like a nonrenewable resource. If they'd set up a proper farm they wouldn't have had issues running out.
@@puresowns215 they dont even need to setup a freaking farm. Just take small dosage every day. You give you take. Problem solved. But no lets hunt them down without thinking about problems like humans extinction.
I would imagine early on when the virus first spread and every disease was being cured, life must of been great for every vampire before humans were being endangered. Especially when being able to stay a teenager for an extra 10 years and enjoy life in your extended prime.
@@filds1 in reality humans would probably be like the top 1% of this society, their blood is vital to all vampires survival so they’d have to be pampered and catered to; either that or all of them get hunted down and killed and everybody dies
Christopher : *"There can't be cure"* Edward : *"Am I a joke to you?"* I want to make joke about infected bat, but we all know it comes from the lab after people said it was conspiracy xD
Honestly I loved this movie. Had a very cool feel to it with vampirism being portrayed in a scientific sense, rather than the vampires being some sort of edgy outcasts of society.
Yeah vampires living in normalcy was a premise that tickled me. It's nice they came up with an intriguing plot to go with it as well.
They wore pretty edgy gothic outfits tho
This is THE most underrated movie I've ever seen. It really would make a good reboot into a Netflix series. Really rich story line.
Damn, because of an infected bat? It's irresistible to make a rona reference.
Netflix would ruin it like they ruin everything
What movie is this
Movie recaps is basically how to watch a movie without watching the movie.
@@Ok-um5ho Now that you say that, Wow.
@@HouseRevolter some of the channels that deeply analyze the movie were also using clips from the movies but also were not copyrighted. I guess their channels are unique for discussing the movie in a very understandable way which is very convenient to the audience.

amazing channel really because I would not waste my time watching half the movies he shows which saves us all time
Me right now “what a great movie :)”
This is one of my favorite vampire movies!! It’s not perfect but it’s creative. I wish the studios kept more of the original drama storyline and used less action to try to cater to audiences at the time/people over the vampire genre.
careful that your whole body does not explode now😂🤣
The concept of this movie is so interesting. I remembered watching this movie back in 2009 and still remembering every second of it till now.
The concept of farming humans for blood reminds me of Promised Neverland.
Yes! Was just going to say this!
Or more precise. Owari no Seraph. Its a vampire anime
@@calyco2381 i love that anime & manga so much omg it's been years
i was about to comment that💀
Yes. Its the english title
The fact that this movie is so underrated is a crime
Great things and people often are
Is it though?
I had never even heard of it before.
I remember, when I was younger and saw the DVD in the library. I was fascinated and borrowed it. It was great! It was around the time I was in this whole Van Helsing, Underworld , Vampire phase. Thanks for remembering me of this movie! :D Days after watching this movie I watched "Merlin" and I instantly recognized Sam Neill, the boss of our protagonist. :D
Good work my man keep at it bro
I'm honestly surprised this movie gets over looked as much as it does. It was great and showed a new way to look at bampires that hasn't been shown in anything else I've watched since then
Damn, because of an infected bat? It's irresistible to make a rona reference.
What was this movie called?
bampre
The primary problem of this movie is typical bad world building issues. The plot is nice but the world the protagonists live in doesn't work.
Oh my god Daybreakers! This movie is, IMO, critically underrated and unmentioned. One of my favorite vampire movies
Damn, because of an infected bat? It's irresistible to make a rona reference.
I loved this movie!! I wish they would make a second part
Yess I remembered this. This was the moment where vampire movies were the trends. I was kinda hoping that Daybreakers would get a 2nd movie because of the ending and how the story could still be elaborated more. World of Drama.~
"She has yellow eyes, she's a vampire" Me who has amber eyes: ah yes, I guess I am a vampire now
piss yellow eyes

I love this thread
One of the most interesting recaps I've ever heard of. This tells the story of how vampires dominate the world while humans are being enslaved. They used to provide blood for the vampire to drink. If they don't, they devolve into subsiders.
@@ruslan_toychibaev ok
Wow, it’s almost as if we watched the same recap
@GM Rey because these types of comments get likes
Damn, because of an infected bat? It's irresistible to make a rona reference.
Great recap!
I remember wanting more of this movie kinda a measure of how good it was to me
The whole situation with vampires turning back into humans by feeding on humans who were previously vampires Was a pretty interesting And Overall disgusting Way of representing an antidote..
Watch van helsing on Netflix
If vampires become human after feeding on blood from humans who used to be vampires, how did the first vampire become a human? Aka chicken or the egg
@@lyrasunshard3769 by burning in the sunlight and then extinguishing the flames, the movie explained it 😂 for example when the guy burned up and landed in water and became human

Dont tell Harry
"Infected bat in 2009" They where 10 years off and we got COVID 19 LOL!
I play this simulator called 'plague Inc' on the hardest difficulty and can honestly say this is pretty plausible if the stats are anything to go by! Best way to start a mass infection is either by air or bat aka 'Rodent' its said you are never more than ten feet away from a rodent! ;) although something as absurd as Vampirism is a little farfetched
"Infected bat" "2019" Wait a minute
Covid 19 lol

Lol the coffee scene! “I want more blood in my coffee!!!!!!” This was an interesting movie no doubt! His brother made things harder for humans trying to save others! Luckily towards the end he tried to help his brother & others! I loved the way some of the vampires literally exploded! His 2 time framing scientist buddy…. Arrow to the chest & exploded! One of the best parts of the movie! Jerk!!

Okay, wait. Did I hear it correctly? A bat infected virus spread throughout the world? And the film is set in 2019? Who wrote this film and is he a time traveler?
got me as well bruh
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Time traveller? You do realize that all but a few infectious human diseases come from animal host populations since the time a genetic trainwreck created the first version of humans? Lethal viruses will burn themself out if they affect animal hosts too much, but humans travel around fast... they can be across the globe in mere hours...

Or find the components which vampires feed on and try to replicate it in much larger animals that you can farm. Pigs for example. Or go the other way, in animals that can scale. They're producing insulin from e coli so if you edit their genes to produce the components which vampires feed on then you've sorted out the food supply..

@@fabledkitty214 But that decision, be it questionable, allowed Ed to find a cure
@@fabledkitty214 I think it's because as more vampires came to be and overpopulated, humans living among them are targeted. Maybe Frank knew his brother would also be targeted, so he turned him and went back to the military to avoid him. Just what I think though
I respect Frankie's decision to turn Ed despite his apprehensions. He wanted to save his brother, even if his brother would hate him for it. But the "Just following orders" part does sort of make me dislike him. He already turned his brother and now his brother hates him. But then, he goes behind his back and reports him to his higher ups and endangers him. It's only when he watched a girl he turned die did he regret the things he's done and I don't understand why. Is she a representation of what he is doing to his brother? Is it because he realizes his superiors can't or won't help his brother? Does he feel guilty after seeing the consequences of his actions? He was so loyal to the people he served that he would betray his brother. But then a girl dies and NOW he wants to save his brother? After everything he did that hurt him?
Edward's brother was really rare type of people who would sacrifice themselves to save their loved ones and Lionel is also great friend who always has your back
the reverse infection scene with all those vampire soldiers at the end is amazing with how dumbfounded they look (the alives ones)
Nice feel good factor at the end.
Lmfao an infected BAT in 2019! Beside the vampire shit, this is spot on🤣🤣🤣🤣
Daybreakers is such an underrated gem. One of my faves of all time.
I loved that they tried to create a realistic scenario for the Vampire Plague, well done indeed.
Low key i remember watching this movie way back. It was literally the most creative vampire movie I ever saw.
A great genre movie that deserved a franchise.
God no. Daybreakers worked as a one and done.
The concept of this movie is so damn good, feel like it would be better as a TV series

Why did I imagine a Vampire doing this? *Tipping his hat.* "It's not much but its honest work."
That scene with the feeding frenzy is crazy intense.

Best channel ever. Great for when you want to remember a good movie, but don't have two hours to kill.
Anyone else realize this could've all been averted by the vampires just visiting blood banks, seeing as simply getting a bag of blood would help them out for a while, at least when they spike their coffees and other such beverages with it?
Yea and lets solve world hunger by telling people to just go to the supermarket! In a world such as this you really think blood banks are still in operation (and stocked?!) lol...
Blood is already often in short supply and that's without people drinking it
Bro how are you even poor? Just go to a bank.
Bro how are you homeless? Just buy a house mate.
I think this really needs more movies It has a lot of potential

Very interesting! Thank you!
Móvies recaps, this film from 2009 'daybreakers', seemed to be a great film. The funny fact is the infection from the bat, in this 2021 year, is still a fact that we have to learn. Great summary.
Except it doesn't turn us into cool vampires but kills us gasping for air in hospitals. Nothing cool about real life. 🙄
I remember watching this in theaters when it came out. Really impressive stuff that I think still hold up very well to this day.
I enjoyed watching this film and thought it had a good storyline to it. Would have liked to see a second version with the vampires trying to eliminate the recently reborn humans etc etc..
I remember renting this movie at random for the weekends. Its really really good. Plus you have Willhem Dafoe. You can't go wrong with that.
Loved this movie, especially the ending blood orge fight scene lol This came out the same time around twilight and it was such a nice reminder of what vampires should be 😆
This guy never disappoints one of the most underrated actors
Your intro music is awesome
The way the first military truck got destroyed with its vamps was so satisfying.
I like how the ending was so reverse-zombie apocalypse, as the vampires feast on the cure and become the food themselves
Hopefully it doesn't effect us bigfoots
