 ==== Daybreakers ====
 [[tmdbm>19901|Daybreakers]] is an interesting example for two reasons. The first is that vampirism is explicitly depicted as a (supernatural) disease. As far as I know, the only other thing that depicts vampirism like this is Plague Inc.\\
-The second reason is a bit more interesting: this is so far the only example I know of where vampires //rule// and do so //openly//. In fact, vampires make up a majority of the population.\\

-The premise is that sometime in 2008...I think...a disease started spreading from a bat. I-I know how that sounds, but let's continue.\\
+The premise is that sometime in 2008...I think...a disease started spreading from a bat. I-I know how that sounds, but let's continue.
 The disease turned people into immortal vampires. They could eat and drink like normal (apparently), though they still needed to feed on human blood. Not feeding on human blood makes them degenerate into more bat-like monsters. So...<wrap spoiler>there's some overlap with [[lb:yakuneve]]</wrap>.\\
-Most of humanity chose to become these inhuman monsters, while the rest didn't. The vampires now rule the world as if little has changed. At this point I realized I'm basically writing a review, so let's not get too into it.((:fn:>I realized that part of this film is relevant to the [[lb:story character]] article, so I'll be writing something at some point.)) The point is that vampires are in charge and actively hunting down the rest of humanity.\\

-Vampire lore here is mostly the same. They feed off of humans, they can turn humans, they burn in the sunlight...but nothing related to silver or garlic. They're also pale and all have yellow/orange eyes.\\

 The film //does// end with a cure for vampirism...but it goes a bit further too, as the vampires also create synthetic blood. For most of the film, they continually fail to synthesize blood but end up succeeding by the end. [[#Underworld]] also features synthetic blood, but it's not a plot point.
 ==== Night of the Comet ====
-Yes, seriously.\\
+Yes, seriously.
 I realized recently that the main bad guys in this [[tmdbm>18462|film]] are //basically// vampires. For some unknown reason, some of the survivors of the comet which wiped out humanity need to receive the blood of the remaining survivors. Though it's never really made clear //why// and what the difference is.\\
-If they don't, they start looking super pale, kinda gross and their skin sticks to their bones, as if their fat disappears.\\

 Definitely one of the more unusual entries here.
