Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
If you love the zombie apocalypse movie (and the subgenre of vampire apocalypse movie) then you will love this thing. Massive amounts of gunplay with big guns used by men with big muscles in military type get ups, supported natch by pretty gurls and vintage muscle cars. All good stuff. Unfortunately, it's really not that good once you get under the surface and past the above trappings. There are 2 or 3 clearly professional actors with Lance Henrickson, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, and one of the Mandylors. It is clear they are actors because the rest of them are pretty awful. Especially the lead 'Brooding Anti-hero' named, believe it or not, "Johnny Strong". I guess since he was a producer and maybe did the music for free, they gave him the biggest role. And the music is actually one of the highlights. The sfx is not bad, production values strong, cool setting, and vampiric zombies menacing. Except it is clear there are only like a dozen or so actual zombies despite the heroes killing like 500 of them with seemingly endless gun clips they rarely ever change out. And the scenes in the two high rises are nonsensical as the meat eaters seem to come at our protagonists from above and below, forward and behind...when they came originally from the lower level. I've played FPS games that made more sense. But the camerawork is excellent and editing even better. Really better than this type movie usually gets. Conceptually it's pretty stale....the loner coming in to save the day has been flogged to death going back to Clint Eastwood's early movies, particularly Pale Rider. But again, it's a genre pic so fans won't care. So, the story is meh, sfx passible, acting hit-or-miss, action scenes well executed and shot but incoherent, repetitive and eventually monotonous. Worst of all...not memorable. And not one i would want to see again.
I started watching this at 1am. I watched 5 minutes and it cut to a break. My thoughts were that it had potential to be a classic. As I do with all films I checked IMDb for it's score and I was amazed at the low rating.I decided to go with my gut instinct and stayed watching until about 3.30am I believe. This film really was gripping and super intense If you love action then this is a must see. This is one of the best films I've ever watched and one I'll never forget. Johnny Strong played his part to perfection. Legendary performance from him.If the subject is to your liking then it's a must see. Gripping and extremely intense. I have never watched a film twice in my life, but this is a film I will simply have to see again and that I simply have to see again soon. When I have the opportunity and feel in the mood I will have to watch it again. A truly epic film. Fantastic.
Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, Sinners and Saints) plays uberhero Rourke from New York who finds himself down in Texas in a post- apocalyptic zombie infested wild west. Roaming the desert highways in a big block V8 1970 Plymouth Road Runner - Mad Maxed out - Rourke rescues the damsel in distress (Texas Style of course) and joins a group of survivors. Zombie hunting ensues with epic gun action. Surprisingly engaging for a Sunday afternoon action flick.
Daylight's End directed by William Kaufman is a very fun horror action packed movie , it has all the thing a horror action need a likable lead role by Johnny Strong who i think need to be in more action movie and to mainstream audience.Seriously this guy is a perfect 90s action movie.The plot of this movie is simple apocalypse world when a creature part zombie part vampire running around eating people and a group of survival lead by the legendary Lance Henriksen.If you familiar with Kaufman movie you know it will contain good shoot out scene , bad ass one liner and a ridiculously high body count.For a low budget movie this is the best you can get
