#daybreakers  #continues to be one of my fave recent takes on the vampire genre  #like what if vampirism was a) as easily and prosaically caught as zombie-ism  #and b) everyone just kind of adapted  #and you’re like ‘cool vampire planet’  #but then like every conversation about that you get to ‘but what do they eat when people run out’ pretty quick  #and yeah they get there pretty quick  #and then shit goes SIDEWAYS  #so like the actual vampirism is not the horror  #the horror is recourse scarcity and our own usual bullshit  #but like with good glowy eye noir self-hating detective vibes  #and half the cast of australian 90’s soap tv  #and sam neill?? and willem defoe??  #it’s the john wick of vampire movies - much better than it has any right or need to be and it never pretends to be more than it is

It’s a criminal shame that Willem Dafoe’s hardened Mustang gets shot up before it actually gets to do anything

“I do love a good barbecue.”

Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.
