So it looked really bad, to me, for Caleb especially since unlike those movies, he was the only person invited.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-19632149771263272832016-10-27T13:34:01.112+08:002016-10-27T13:34:01.112+08:00Daybreakers - I can't remember the specifics, ...Daybreakers - I can't remember the specifics, but I think at the initial outbreak things likely got crazy, there were probably a lot of attacks on humans. Some died. The ones that survived became vampires themselves and were now the majority species. The ones that didn't turn became the blood bank hooked up to machines but the point of the story we enter is when I think the blood bank was being drained into extinction, there just wasn't enough humans to support the much larger vampire population.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-74373727390300627102016-10-27T13:23:53.639+08:002016-10-27T13:23:53.639+08:00Daybreakers - me too.
