New Daybreakers Clips Give Us Real Vampires

This might come as a surprise to some, but vampires are kind of becoming a big thing. Weird, right? I've heard a lot of people say that it is because of Twilight, but I don't really see the connection between moody, boring teens and actual vampire mythos. Daybreakers, on the other hand, may actual provide the blood-sucking goods.

We've received three(ish) new clips from the film, and while we don't exactly see anybody getting their throats ripped out, we do get some nice monster action and at least some adherence to the actual rules (these vampires can't go out in the sun. Makeup department, please dispose of all glitter in a neat and orderly fashion). There is a bit of an overlap with some creative editing involved with two of the clips, which struck us as a bit odd, but with crossbows, blood lust, car crashes, and character development, it immediately looks more interesting than anything Stephanie Meyer ever created. Check out the clips below.
