What happens when vampires takeover? Well, just like humans they poorly manage resources and have trouble feeding themselves. Ethan Hawke is a reluctant vampire and is trying to find a substitute for blood. Willem Dafoe is a former vampire who found a way to reverse the vampirism in a most improbable way. Humans are in short supply and that sets the stage for all kinds of wacky vampire drama. Lots of time is spent on showing how vampires cope during the day and how society devolves when starvation threatens. Wooden stakes still work somehow when they pierce the unbeating heart and of course prolonged exposure to sunlight is a killer. Leaving behind the folklore problems, the story has some sense and the acting is good. Sam Neil is the head corporate vampire and capitalist villain. There is plenty of gore and action and some stupid attempts to startle you with bats aflying. Vampires smoke a lot too, I guess it can’t hurt them and what else are you going to do for an eternity? I get the point: dead white men are the real vampires and a socialist utopia would mean plenty of blood for everyone. Give me my stakes, garlic and holy water, I’m agoing hunting.
