When a mysterious loner on a mission of revenge joins up with a group of survivors sheltered within an old urban police station, he soon finds himself organizing them in their attempt to escape the city of Dallas and the inhabiting vampiric like humanoid creatures that now call it home.

Similar to other films in which the world has fallen prey to an infectious contagion that mutates its victims into ravenous humanoid creatures, Daylight’s End treads along the familiar well-worn path of the sci-fi / horror genre.  While unoriginal in its delivery, the story isn’t horrible, it’s just very generic and completely predictable.

On the positive side, being a low budget movie, visually there’s a more grounded sense to how the world might look and feel as there are no big budget special effects to enhance the scenery or the creatures.  What you see it what you get, which sometimes isn’t a bad thing.  However, the one detraction from this is the use of blue lens tinting to simulate night time.  This happens several times throughout the movie, and while not a complete distraction it is noticeable.

As for character development, there simply isn’t any.  Yes, the viewer does get a momentary glimpse of what drove Rourke (the main protagonist) to seek revenge against the creatures, but that’s it.  Otherwise, the rest of the characters feel as though they’re expendable.  There’s nothing to root for when it comes to their survival.  Either they escape or they don’t, there’s no real reason to care.

Overall, there isn’t really anything more to say about this movie.  While not horrendous compared to other low budget films of the genre, it is a one and done watch that fades from memory once the final scene cuts to black.
