Daybreakers Gets a Viral Site That Claims You’re Patient Zero Dan Koelsch, December 15, 2009December 15, 2009 The movie Daybreakers has intrigued me ever since I saw the trailer for the first time. How can you not love the idea of society being predominantly vampires, with free humans being outlaws? It’s a world I would love to get right in the thick of, and now I can, thanks to a new site called Capture Humans. The site gives you a nice video background of how their society came to be, and it’s even nicer because it uses Facebook Connect to personalize the story.
