Daybreakers

Nowadays the movies have been overrun by vampires, and in the movie Daybreakers the entire world has been overrun by vampires, feeding off the dwindling, endangered human population. As blood demand grows and supply drops, a vampire researcher tries to find an alternate blood supply or a cure to vampirism altogether before its too late. B-movie (if you couldn't tell from the description) is somewhat entertaining and mercifully short, though it is just not my schtick. Ethan Hawke, who is hit or miss, is adequate in the lead and Willem Dafoe is fun in a supporting role. Things go a little too over the top in the end though.
