ctpahho It is not easy to find such weird movies, where things make sense but are somehow giving controversial emotions and slight grin on the face.Effects of slurping, super sounded kisses, fetishism, insanity, so called evil and bad are whirl-winding in this vampire story, leaving you wide eyed watching for the anticipation of the next scene craziness. Personally I couldn't feel anything horrifying but ironic smirks and smiles within me. What surprised me was the real feeling of love and romance that was growing up with the story.Enjoy.

Uriah43 "Sang-hyeon" (Kang-ho Song) is a priest who has seen firsthand the suffering of the sick and dying and wants to do something about it. So he volunteers to undergo an experiment in which a deadly virus is injected into him along with a possible cure for it. Several weeks later he falls violently ill and is given blood transfusions in a desperate attempt to keep him alive. He dies but not long afterward comes back to life with the disease apparently in remission. Not only that but it appears that his prayers are also able to heal others who are seriously sick as well. But then things begin to change. Now rather than reveal any more of the movie I will just say that I thought it started off brilliantly. Unfortunately, about half way through it took a radically different turn which was quite bizarre and ridiculous. In short, it left me very disappointed because it definitely had potential. Accordingly, I have to rate this movie as only average.

Leofwine_draca More excellent film-making from Park Chan-wook, who shows no signs of flagging in his quest to bring his unique brand of inventive and unique movies to the world. This is his version of a traditional vampire movie, and while it's not quite as quirky as I'd expected from this director, it certainly packs a punch and proves a breath of fresh air in a cinematic world inundated by the latest Twilight movies.Put simply, THIRST holds your attention. The storyline, about a priest who finds himself infected with a blood virus and then is slowly transformed into a bloodsucker, is never less than thoroughly entertaining. It goes without saying that the direction is flawless – every scene and sequence is expertly crafted, leaving no margin for error. Emphasis is on characterisation throughout, which is always a strong point, and the actors have the talent to fully bring their roles to life; the main actress is particularly fascinating.Overall, this is a gruesome, gripping, melancholic look at the world of the vampire. Be warned, it's explicit and often in your face, but as with the rest of the director's output, this is a film that sets out to challenge assumptions and overcome cliché. It works a treat.

MissOceanB Thirst: A bit speechless. Where to begin reviewing this film? Well, it is certainly a fantastic Thriller, some elements of Horror and Gore. It is unlike any film I have seen, and I have seen it all! Psychological, disturbing, creepy at times, culturally quite accurate (Korean), a must see for fans of Vampirism for sure, but also anyone that wants to see a disturbing, complex, form of a Thriller. I have not seen any other films by this Director but I certainly will be doing so now. Thirst has a bit of everything in it - not strictly about vampires by far. And to those reviews that mention that it is "Twilight" for adults? You have it wrong. It is nothing like Twilight. Yes, there are some similar traits but no, it is not a Vampire Romance...it is SO much more than that and the other positive reviews are bang-on and speak for themselves. I particularly enjoyed the character developments, the struggles with faith, family, friends as well as the eerie facial expressions. What a creative and well-written story. You need to see this for yourself and come to your own conclusions!
