Daybreakers, a 2010 vampire dystopian film written and directed by twin brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, is now available for free streaming on Pluto TV. The movie stars Ethan Hawke as Edward, a vampire hematologist who develops an alternative blood source to prevent human extinction and the rise of the Subsider, a winged, feral undead variant. Set in an alternate 2019 where vampires dominate and human blood supplies dwindle, the plot follows Edward and a group of rebels led by former vampire Lionel, played by Willem Dafoe, who pursue a cure involving exposure to sunlight. The film employs practical effects, with performers in full-body foam latex suits to portray the Subsiders, a technique highlighted by creature designer Steven Boyle, who said the suits emitted a sulfur odor during production. Daybreakers received mixed reviews on release but has since been recognized as a cult classic, praised for its practical effects and unique approach to the vampire genre. The movie is accessible at no cost on Pluto TV.
