Daylight's End is a 2016 post apocalyptic film set sometime after a mysterious plague has devastated the planet and turned the majority of the world's human population into blood-hungry creatures. Johnny Strong stars in the film as Thomas Rourke, a drifter on a vengeful hunt who stumbles across a band of survivors, led by Frank Hill (Lance Henriksen). Rourke then joins the band to help them defend themselves and to escape to sanctuary.
