Two-time Academy Award nominee® Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world's population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race

EN 5 Second Review: An amazingly original take on the genre. Dafoe and Hawke have a ball and it shows through. Manages to be both clever and gory enough. A future cult classic is born.
