Denise/30 Days of Night

Denise is a supporting character featured in the 2007 vampire film 30 Days of Night. She was played by actress Amber Sainsbury.

Biography
Denise was a resident of the desolate town of Barrow, Alaska - one of the most remote regions in the state. Every year, from November to December, the northernmost community in the world was plunged into thirty days of endless, sunless night. A brood of vampires, led by an elder named Marlow Roderick came to Barrow with the knowledge that they could feed indiscriminately without fear of hiding away from the effects of the sun. Marlow's group slaughtered their way through the town, gorging themselves on blood until there were only a small handful of people left.

Denise was outside her place of business with her friends Aaron and Gabe when the vampires first struck. She watched in horror as Gabe would pulled into the shadows and killed and Aaron and she barely escaped with their lives. Denise split up from Aaron and found sanctuary with a small group of survivors. She recommended using the secret attic of a resident named Charlie Kelso to hide from the vampires. The group remained there for several days until they were forced to come out to stock up on food and supplies.

They took up brief shelter at Steve's General Store and remained there while they waited out an intense blizzard. Several more members of the group were killed during this time, but Denise survived and was one of the last residents of Barrow left alive after the vampires finally left.
