That new Wolfman I definitely will want to watch. The one you saw, I haven't heard of it yet.

It takes place in 2019 and basically Vampires rule the world now and humans are cattle. I'll tell more this evening from home cause am at work right now.

I saw this movie at Cinnefest (a film festival in Ontario).
I got to say, Daybreakers is a vampire film with serious bite.

OW! Stop hitting me!
Daybreakers is easily the best vampire movie since Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Interview with the Vampire? Is it as good as that
?

Weren't Sam Neill, Ethan Hawke and of course Willem Dafoe really good in this movie? The premise for the human race and how Hawke's character becomes human again are quite clever, don't you think ScS?

Definitely.
I ask myself, "What could horrify a vampire?" And this movie answers: "Now you get to die, after all."
I think I would have liked to see more about the mutant vampires. Those guys were extremely spooky. They really spoke to the idea that the people society abandons do not vanish. I suppose the film could have featured them more strongly, but that would have taken the story into a Marxist class-warfare direction. This isn’t a story about the poor, though, this is a story about the mainsteam of society. At heart, this is a story about consumption .
I loved Dafoe and Neil. Neil hasn't been in anything so good since In the Mouth of Madness. As a villain, he is just plain sinister. Hawke was... not bad. He plays a kind of vanilla vampire. I liked the guy who played his brother, though. He really conveyed the sort of Oh-AHHHH bloodthirst we come to expect from the army. Sorry, I correct myself. The Vampire army.
