Movie synopsis

Director Chan-Wook Park 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.

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"[T]he film is tightly knitted with echoing motifs....[Kim Ok-vin's] eyes express everything between yes and no, and she is demonically able to shift through a whole lexicon of contradictory emotions in one blink."
Film Comment - Film Comment Staff (07/01/2009)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here is no denying that THIRST casts a hypnotic visual spell over its vampiric goings-on."
Box Office - Richard Mowe (07/23/2009)

"[A] rare vampire movie with serious intellectual heft, ravishing undead, biting passion and a healthy splash of irony as well as iron in all that spilled blood..."
Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey (07/31/2009)

"Fans of vampire movies are not likely to see anything more graphic, extreme or twisted than THIRST."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (07/31/2009)

"It is a bloodstained horror movie, a dark comedy, a noirish psychodrama of crime and punishment, a melodrama of mad love, a freehanded literary adaptation and, of course, a vampire movie."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (07/31/2009)

"[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." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (07/29/2009)

"[I]ts turgid pace creates a queasy fascination all its own, drawing viewers into an ever-darkening locus of sin and obsession..." -- Grade: B
A.V. Club - Keith Phipps (07/30/2009)

3 stars out of 4 -- "Movies exist to cloak our desires in disguises we can accept, and there is an undeniable appeal to THIRST."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (08/13/2009)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] ripe stew of horror, erotica and tragedy. It's scandalously self-indulgent, but there's no denying its invention and visual power."
Uncut - Chris Roberts (10/09/2009)

The movie is worth a look because the subject matter is so unusual(a Priest becomes a Vampire). This film is different, in part because it comes out of Korea, and the extraordinary actors. My one criticism is that the film is too long. It drags in part, and the editing needs tightening. There are no extras here.
