ReviewsLittle White Lies - Red blood and black humour spurt hard as THIRST reveals itself to be one of the most deliciously skewed incisions into the vampire romance subgenre., Daily Telegraph - This fervid extravaganza is easily Park's best film since OLDBOY., Time - Director Park Chan-wook's richest, craziest, most mature work yet!, Empire - ...Thirst is a film that stays in the memory, Entertainment Weekly - [A] gaudy, daring, operatic, and bloody funny provocation of a melodrama from Park Chan-wook [...] THIRST is gorgeous, every shot a keeper, even as blood flows in rivers and hell beckons., Time Out - A rollicking, hysterical splatter-sex-comedy only confirms THIRST as one of the year's more extreme, enjoyable entertainments.
Additional InformationDirector Park Chan-Wook (OLDBOY) and his SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE star Kang-ho Song reunite for this thriller about a young priest who turns into a vampire. When the highly religious Sang-Hyun volunteers himself to be a test subject for a new vaccine, the procedure turns him into a vampire with little regard for his previous beliefs, meaning that his childhood friend's wife--and her neck-- are no longer off limits. The acclaimed Korean director has expressed that THIRST is more than just a simple horror film, but an 'illicit love story' with dark undertones. And at a time when broody chaste vampires are the new hot ticket, it's also a refreshingly bloody return to the creatures' Gothic roots.
