30 Days of Night is a film franchise based on a set of comic books of the same name. Arguably a precursor to the popularity of later franchises such as The Strain and the Walking Dead. Much like those franchises it falls under the survival horror genre but unlike those it was never turned into a television series. The franchise consists of 4 parts, The original film 30 Days of Night (2007), An online mini series prequel "Blood Trails" (2007), an online mini series sequel "Dust to Dust" (2008) and a full length straight to DVD sequel "Dark Days" (2010).

30 Days of Night "Blood Trails" (2007)
This is when we get more in depth as the story telling aspect from this point on makes the series a lot more enjoyable. Possibly since this is almost ripped directly from the comic so there is more character development this time around. This series leads up to the vampires getting onto the ship that takes them to Alaska. This also includes a main female character getting turned in Jenny (Dani Owens)
30 Days of Night "Dust to Dust" (2008)
Also a mini series this acts as a sequel to "Blood Trail" but takes place after the original film. In it a disgruntled cop and the vampire hunter from "Blood Trail" go looking for the cops sister Sara (Mimi Michaels), a prison nurse who is attacked and turned into a vampire. This would be the only part of the franchise which revolves completely around a female vampire.

Since this movie takes place in main land big city the vamps are a lot better looking than the ones in the first. Still Feral at least there's some hot ones. Especially a blonde who shows up quite a bit toward the end.
I wouldn't mind it if Mia Kirshner did nothing else but play a hot vampiress for the rest of her career. She's been a favorite of mine since Dracula: The Series when she vamped-out for 2 episodes.
