Around here Daybreakers' clever streak runs out and the previously witty, refreshing film becomes a predictable action romp that's big on over-the-top gore but lacking in everything else.October 21, 2010
While America continues to produce interminable undead dross ... Australia can now proudly announce itself as being home to two of the best genre auteurs working today.April 04, 2011
It's pretty clear that directors The Spierig Brothers are ready to make their mark as a couple of high-end horror genre auteurs.August 26, 2015
A rock-solid afternoon matinee sort of movie, packed as it is with so many disparate genre influences. Confidently crafted and legitimately clever.September 28, 2012
