Yes.

The ending was a little disappointing, but the bloodsucking/superhuman "family" are as hard as nails - and Katherine Bigelow's stylish direction is on top form here.

Pretty good flick. One of the best vamp movies I've seen.

Good Flix, I really like Bill Paxton's performance, one of his better in my opine.

Well worth owning.

This movie is awesome … maybe the best vampire movie ever made … the ending was fantastic! I think I said this before when you asked about female Horror directors, fantastic script, direction and Lance Hendrickson … what more do you want.

… and the vampires don’t even go to one of those stupid techno clubs!!!

The Hitchickers guide to the galaxy provides this definition of the word infinite.
Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow thats big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really quite titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept were trying to get across here.

IMPORTS: none
It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things in from.
