This movie is so underrated , we can add this movie to the list of movies that should have got a sequel along with Van Helsing and Dracula Untold
Indeed!!!🔥🔥
"sO uNdErRaTeD"
It’s very underrated. I don’t think it needs a sequel though, it’s better as a one and done. A sequel likely wouldn’t have been as good.
I would say it’s probably the most underrated when it comes to vampire films. I remember watching this in an empty theatre and I adored it.
Jesus Christ, so many dipshits that don't know how to properly use underrated. Just because YALL don't hear people talking about something doesn't make it underrated.
"How a single bat started it all"
These writers back then were on to something 😶
brooooooooooo
Wasn’t a bat lol 😂
Predictive programming. However, vampires are just a metaphor for the well poisoner chosénites.
Legit
corona virus spread in China creating sars, way before covid 19, its litterly not even the first time chian caused a epidemic with the same virus.
One of most well written Vampire story
This movie deserves more recognition
This is a criminally underrated vampire action adventure thriller film

I really love this film because of its take on the vampires being the in charge and the humans living on the fringe of society. I love when he tricks the certain character into drinking his blood to cure them and it all goes crazy from there. The fight scene is a crazy piece of cinematography the way it plays out is crazy but very well done.
If they did a 2nd movie it would probably be vampires being afraid to bite humans because they wouldn't know who's a walking cure or not but would be really interesting.
Realistically, it would be vampires rounding up the 'cured' and setting up blood farms filled with forcibly cured now that they have a way to generate blood indefinitely. Capitalism, baby!
If you like the vampire majority story, you should look into The Hunt trilogy by Andrew Fukuda. All remaining humans left on earth are dispersed throughout a vampire ruled populace, hiding and pretending to be one of them, and even the slightest bit of human blood would lead to a uncontrollable feeding frenzy.
@abcdefbcdefg8352 thanks I'll have to look into that.
I liked the originals but wasn't big into vampire diaries, the writer of both had a great series of books called night world 13 books in total covered vampires and really liked the hole story behind the vampire lore in that series. Will definitely look into that thanks for the recommendation
I loved this movie because it was the only one that approached vampirism at it would likely happen in the real world. Imagine if we found out vampires were real, and you could have eternal youth and never get sick. Most people would jump at that opportunity, but if too many people sign up to be vampires then what do they all feed on? It's the most obvious question to ask, but most vampire movies ignore it.
Yeah I was actually feeling bad for the the vampires with the human appearance they thought they were on top of the food chain
The answer is that you breed the humans, if they're treated like animals, there's no reason they wouldn't do what we do now.
If it really happened, I would imagine that only the really rich would be allowed into the vampire club.
I like how they actually put effort into figuring out what a vampire world would actually be like.
The monster in this film isn't the ancient curse virus that damns you to a half-life of instability.
It's the American Machine that turned it into a _beauty treatment._ At the low, low price of slavery and mass starvation, but line goes up.
There's a reason the cure is a religious baptisement that requires an iron will and confronting pain.
Why didn’t the vampires immediately start creating a consensual blood farm with the humans so that they would never run out? Medically receiving blood to ensure that the humans don’t die off. If I was a vampire this is what I would do. And then afterwards, when I have a steady supply of human blood indefinitely, I would start working on a blood substitute. With a steady supply, the amount of time for me to make a substitute becomes unlimited.
You see.....
That's a Logical reasoning, but looking back at History, there's so many times that we do shit on a Impulse and didn't think of repercussions.
Hell even if that law was passed and Consensual Blood Farm existed, chances are there's still gonna be a Vampire hunting for Human for some sort of Prestige or Trophy.
So like sure it will double the life's expectancy of Human but at some point it will run out either way.
Because no plot then
In reality certain businesses would have. It would have been a smart move.
You see, nature has a delicate balance between Predators and Prey. Let's say that for every 12 deer, there is three wolves there to keep the Prey population in check. An odd number difference between them, but that is how nature is designed. If there is a population boom of Prey animals of say 50 deer in any given area, there would be a sudden Predator boom of up to maybe 20 to even 30 wolves in that same area to help balance out the Prey. Once the total number of Prey animals goes back down, the Predators begin to die off due to a lack of prey and to fighting against other wolf packs to a more manageable level.
What happened here was that more or less half the human population chose to become vampires, where instead of a 3 to 1 prey to predator balance, there is now a 1 to 1 Human to Vampire balance. A very deadly circumstance for both sides as it is now an all out brawl on both sides over Human blood, where humans are at a constant war for survival against their undead oppressors while the Vampires now have to fight among each other for their next pint of blood. Rationality is the first thing to go once hunger and desperation sets in
@@electroeel148 it really isn’t. You cannot apply interspecies consumption within two intelligent species of the same trophic level when both species are intelligent. There is no possible way to quantify that because there hasn’t been significant data of said circumstance.
It's a crime that this movie never got a sequel
Forget a sequel, we need a series!
That would be dope.
Give me a 13 ep limited series. It'd be long enough to go deeper.
I want a prequel series.
i wouldn't says no for a series that movie deserved so much a proper series would be awesome
I would prefer a prequel series more
Another set of vampires u can do is the ones from ultraviolet. They're a weird type that gains superhuman abilities but a shorten life span.
Being Human from Sci-Fi Channel also had an interesting take on vampirism. I’m surprised that the series never had a follow up.
Such a good series 👏🏼👏🏼
That show was amazing
The divergences between the original UK version and US remake were cool.
Glad someone has mentioned this show
This film is underated af, the cast alone is amazing, Ethan hawke, Sam Neil and Willem Dafoe, it had me at those 3
I wish this movie went into the lore more, interesting to see how a vampiric virus that could cure all disease would spread through medical systems, then into society, etc would be interesting to see that.
See 2020 ...........
We definitely need sequels. Great lore.
I like in this movie they don't reflect in mirrors, but their clothing still does. That's how it should be. It always bothered me in every other film when the clothing didn't reflect as well, that never made sense.
I agreed
I think the girl at the start was JUST a vampire not the first. She may have lived a life that caused her to age in years, but not physically, as she also mentioned within her suicide note. The virus I believe was up to interpretation as to the actual cause of spreading, however when they realized the benefits of the vampire virus is when they sort of said "Hey......that's pretty good." and went about turning from humans to vampires.
I love anything to do with vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghouls and all manner of supernatural myths and legends fleshed out and I must say my freind I enjoy every video you out out you clearly have passion for the subject like myself,kerp up the good work
I like this one...this is one of the only vampire film that shows why Vampires have to be an "exclusive" club rather than the norm (and humans being the rarer ones).
I wonder how surviving humans would react and interact with former vampire, I mean how many of them have been murdered by vampire and most survivor must have been living in constant fear. It's cannot be "hey you're cured not hard feelings" How could real human ever trust or forgive a former vampire. I would believe those who where never turned would stick with each other and avoid any contact with former vampire.
Actually lived a similar scenario. It's a forced coexistence and animosity is definitely there. The two groups just need a strong reason to withhold from hostilities and prevent further violence.
This film was so diffrent compared to most films now days and defiently needs more like it
Awesome, one of my favorite vampire movies. Could you do Blade's Vampire Virus next?
Have to be more specific as there appears to be different vampires.
I clicked the video, saw the first few seconds, went and watched the movie and damnnnnnn. Definitely an interesting if depressing take on the vampire genre. Doubt there will be a sequel though, there's not a lot of content that can be pulled from where it ends.
We need a sequel where the “Subsiders” mutate further and begin to fly.
the former vampires go out into the sun and enjoy the day. As the sun sets, the subsiders arise.
I want to see a werewolf version of this movie
That would make a good sequel
I wish daybreakers made a prequel which would be interesting to see
The propagation of the cure was wild. I don't know if i commented it before but can you do a vampires in Brooklyn video, its pretty funny and the vampire abilities and lore's pretty interesting
I saw this three times in theaters . There’s just something about it I love . It’s got such a cool different vibe than anything else in the genre or movies in general
Wouldn't it be crazy if something like this happened millions of years ago on earth, and the vampire legends we have are due to leftover vampires from a major catechism between us and them in which society had to start over.
And the remnants were wiped out by the Vatican
@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer based Vatican then
Wouldn't it be crazy if a virus from a bat went worldwide and .....
@@TheytellToomanylies
Hey hey hey we don’t talk about that here ok lol
Is this a jojo reference ?
It’s a underrated movie with clever social economic commentary underneath.
You’re getting really close to 100,000 subscribers. Keep up the good work!
Watched it when it came out and have never forgotten about this movie... It's way too underrated maybe because the movie pacing seems slow for a vampire movie and it's not flashy and stylish like the underworld franchise... It's actually more realistic and there's a lot more than just people turning into vampire... Always love this type of movie with a lore and mystery behind it.... The same goes for a horror movie for eg: Exorcism of Emily Rose.. was also underrated..Yes it was a horror movie, an exorcism, paranormals with real life court room case actions... made the movie so interesting... Like you said a combination of real biological phenomena with a little hint of supernatural... Kudos for the video..Ill be checking out your videos..well done mate
About blood and vampires. In the book i'm planning to write, vampires can sustain on animal blood too. The animals they mostly feed from are cows and pigs. The blood of humans simply just tastes better. Not to mention that vampirism will not change the personality or behavior of the host.
So in my book, if a vampire becomes a bloodthirsty murderer, their behavior cannot be blamed on hunger.
Cool!
Here's a name: Bite my Ass (no-homo)
So I'm curious, did you try to start writing your book?
@@novashnova1232 To be fair, i'm still in the early stages. Basically i have a bunch of character and monster ideas that i want to turn into a cohesive story.
@@madarpauser2133 sounds like a awesome concept tho, id love to bounce ideas off of ya!
Maybe the vamps in this movies crave the human blood as like an immune response since the human blood stops them from turning into supsiders and vamp blood accelerates the transformation
What amazed me most was the creators this was their first actual movie. They made some short gory love projects before then step up to this. It was great, they were even surprised they got names like Ethan Hawke they just gave it a shot and he said yes.
I think human blood just rapidly slows down the subsider transformation but eventually you become a subsider over centuries but your able to retain your mind but not your physical form because your thirst has become unmanageable at that point be of your vampiric age/body.
Giving you that Nosferatu look but that just wild guess at best.
This is such a good movie! This is easily one of my favorites because, as you mentioned, it flips the script on monster movies. The monsters are the dominant species, and the few humans have to live in secrecy. Such a neat concept that I can't believe took so long to come out, and really only done once. The closest other movie I can think of is the Priest, where we're at war with an army of vampires. If there are any other movies like this, can someone let me know? I feel like hollywood has just stopped making monster movies lol, at least in terms of vampires, etc...
Hi Cogan Lollins!
I remember you said already that you'd like to cover the Vampires (and maybe the Werewolves) from the books and the games of The Witcher.
If I can suggest to you another game title where are described some form of Lycans and Vampires, I'd point the finger at The Order 1886. Sadly there are not much infos on the nature of the conditions of the so-called "half-breed specimens" and their power, 'cause the game had no continuation, but their design and the entire world were quite promising.
Best regards to You!
Hey bud. Wanted to share some thoughts on the vampire creature. I think flight is very plausible. The regression of it was only two weeks, perhaps if it was allowed to fully turn it mightve sported full wings. Imagine if it was left for a few months, a year. With how the features changed, hell, it could've looked like one of the night creatures from the castlevania netflix series!
Underrated. I wish people talk about this movie more. The concept was cool, man.
Fantastic video!
Have you looked at the short-lived series, *_V Wars_* ? I kind of felt it had potential...
The girl at the beginning I dont think she was the first, she was there to give a sense of how long it had been and how some people were affected by it, you see other vampire children later too, smoking and stuff, but theyre in the city and probably have a bit more freedom than the first girl did
I know you do mostly movies, but exploring Anno Dracula by Kim Newman would be super interesting, it is an alternate timeline story where Dracula won and became king of England. It mixes with the story of Jack the Ripper for another story of vampire hegemony.
I'm so glad I found your channel bro I love vamps now
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. This idea really needs a video game adaptation.
This film always gave me the impression of being an adaptation to a book that never existed
I enjoyed daybreakers... it needed a sequel
I feel the same way
I absolutely love this film and wish that they did a sequel or something (the only thing I'm going to nitpick are the fangs not being their canines but I can forgive it)
Daybreakers was so good!
Incredible! Now you should cover Russian Vampires from "Ночной Дозор"
Ive been sick in the movie theatre twice in my life. First time was watching Daybreakers when the test guy exploded. The other was watching the first 20 minutes of Sound of Freedom.
Just wondering- why u changed yr intro?
Anyway …I love yr channel !!! Been watching yr stuff since u had 8k subs - happy to see u growing and hope u making some good bucks 💰
Awesome video my man! I feel the same way about this movie and its actors. It also reminded me of Contagion in the sense the virus in that movie had combo of pig and bat DNA. This movie mentions pig blood and a virus from bats. I always wondered too with the mix of science and mystism for the vamps. Either way I would check out a sequel if they ever made one.
That was a sad scene seeing those vampire children smoking cigarettes 🚬 I wouldn't turn a little kid I'm with the interview with the vampire rule not to turn someone that young
Yes that and the girl in the beginning were the most heartbreaking scenes
I mean ... even humans had to live alongside our cattle and animals. Lol, vampires are stupid in this movie. Never over hunt. Otherwise, no more food.
Well, in Underworld vampirism started after Alexander Corvinus was made immortal thanks to an unknown virus, then his son Marcus was bitten by a bat which made him a vampire. William was the one bitten by a wolf with rabies, hence why he went insane and Marcus didn't. It is rare for bats to bite humans, but they do, and they don't have to have rabies to bite someone. Same goes for wolves of course, but unfortunately for William, his wolf did have rabies.
I don't think the little girl in the beginning of the movie was the one who started it though. I think it was just a scene they wanted to start with. And since Vampires don't age or grow older since their turning, being stuck in stasis never getting any bigger would drive any kid crazy.
I think the person who wrote Daybreakers was inspired partly by Anne Rice's novels on Lestat. In that one, all vampires cease to age or grow from the moment of their turning, and it was true of Claudia, Lestat & Louis' latest newborn, an 8 year old girl who was stuck at that age forever. And yeah, for the most part, it drove Claudia mad, especially when she saw an adult woman bathing and said "I want to be her" but Lestat & Louis knowing she will never get any older.
In a world populated mostly by vampires, I think that would suck. Cause eventually food is gonna run out, and the options then are Suicide or Lose yourself forever as you become a literal monster. I think most would take the former rather than become a monster who has lost all sense of who they were, cause at that point you're not much different from a Ghoul/Zombie.
This was a good movie and I wish there was a sequel. Or if it was even a series with a few episodes like Midnight Mass.
This was a criminally underrated film. Cant understand why....i guess this is proof that marketing really can make or break a film. I didnt hear anything about this movie until well after it was out. Saw it on SyFy channel back in 2010, something like that, thought it was one of those low budget films like Sharknado or Croctopus vs werepigeon. I was plesantly suprised. Great cast and acting. Special effects were good, nothing too crazy, just enough to make the film work without going over the top. The last vampire Royal Rumble scene was really good, one of the best vampire scenes of any film. Reminds me of the Strain in some respects.....another excellent vampire series, in my top 5 for sure.
I've watched this movie a hundred times but never did I ever think the girl in the beginning was patient 0 and still not sold on her being the first, she was just a kid that wanted to grow up so she committed suicide
Garlic has been used as an antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal agent.
It would make since since the vampires can eat normal food and drinks as well
Can’t wait to see your 100k special! Go Cogan!
It was odd to me that pigs blood had also becomes scarce, since it would be so much easier to maintain than human farming.
But not if everyone was drinking it. Eg US eats moo cows. India eats goats. Greeks eat lambs etc. If everyone in the world switch to pigs... not enough.
Making them invisible to their reflections comes off as silly , but apart from that- cool movie
Just found your channel last night man & I love it!
Dis he drink pigs blood? I thought the brother said "even that pig shit you drink is getting hard to find"
I really liked this movie. Very cool concept !
Loved your video !
I'd like to see a sequel where there are still some vampires, some subsiders even, and mainly humans, where people are coping with being human and thus, possibly dying again, on top of a massive demographic crisis.
Daybreakers is one amazing but totally underrated movie .It needed good sequals
Really enjoying these videos. I just discovered his content. He should do “What We Do In The Shadows”.
Next do the Afflicted blood virus from American horror story
I would like to see that for his next breakdown
@@Schelbig personally I think the Virus has an old gods origin since it doesn't seem to have origin in hell since those infected by it are capable of going to heaven
Bat with virus, sounds familiar?
Your channel is underrated
Going through your channel makes me remember how many cool vampire/werewolf/supernatural movies there were in the 2000s.
3:05 That's being a parent in a nutshell. Always worried about the present and apparent dangers in the world.
Vampire toothpaste lol maybe the 30 days of night vampires needed that lol 😂😜
Love this film, thanks for covering again!
I saw Renfield, Can't wait for your video about it.
It’s one of my favorites. Getting close to 100K I see. 👍🏼
Yeah. This, in my mind 1 of the best vampire movies, cause vampires won no hiding. Plus it has a cool way of becoming human again.
Some how you forgot to mention they have no refections and use cameras to see them selfs.
So wat about apes especially bonoboes who are closer related to humans.
My biggest gripe, nobody locks their back door, because a few times someone sneaks in. His brother, and the sub-vamp.
Also very much liked this movie. Really good cast and interesting plot.
I'd like to see you cover the vampires from the Vampyr video game.
ugh i wish they expanded this with a series
Please do a video on stake land I'd love to hear your break down on it
will you make a video on the Last Voyage Of The Demeter
Nice! Such a great movie!
I'm still hoping for a second movie
Such underrated take on vampire lore.
Your awesome brother keep it up!! 💪💪💪👍👍
I remember watching Daybreakers in the theater, and thinking "Wow, the cigarette companies really poured some money into this movie!"
there actually more than one answer, you skip the part where Christopher, Edward's colleague at the lab, finish the blood substitute. if they retrieved it before leaving it can made option to live as vampire or coming back as human
Hope you cover lost tapes soon
id like to point out @5:50 the reason you see the Humans numbers running out isnt because they are being "eaten" the movie says during a news report in the background that those people are considered stock, where they were being held was for that company to research and create a synthetic blood replacement......as the blood started to dwindle, the "stock" was removed by their owners so they could live off of what was left....it's mentioned directly on the news in the movie.
which implies directly that those were Human Slaves we were watching being researched in this movie.....they were being leased to the company by rich vampires basically hoping that they could make a breakthrough in their research.
I agree. A very underated movie. Wish they had made a sequel.
Vampire cannibalism loved the UV cure.
Great movie, did you do one for their movie Undead?
Still waiting to see if you cover He Never Died as well. Another one you might find interesting is The Dark Matter with Andrew Divoff and Tom Savini.
finally youtube recommended me something good, amazing channel
