Saw Daybreakers over the weekend…pretty decent flick actually, I left the theatre feeling moderately entertained, which at this time of year is not something to sneeze at (January is where Hollywood sends movies to die….) The whole vampirism-as-allegory-for-corporate-greed is a new take on a genre that increasingly seems set in its ways. Plus, its nice to see a vamp flick that actually portrays them in the traditional way – as bloodthirsty monsters that burn in the sun and hunt down their terrified human prey, instead of sparkly skinned Byronic-hero romantic types designed to make teenage girls and their mothers weak at the knees. Nah, give me stake through the heart, exploding heads, and enough blood-colored corn syrup to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool….
