Slow and a bit confusing at first, but intreaguing and exciting towards the end. Definitely atypical vampire movie.

Thirst is a compelling exploration of passion, romance and death, and a brilliant deconstruction of the vampire romance sub genre.

The movie is not bad but is definitely a niche vampire film. Park Chan-wook keeps you engaged but this is probably my least favorite film.

Depravity is the only thing it has to offer, but it's not even good at that.

I'm a big fan of Korean cinema, and filmmaker Park Chan Wook, bit this movie was just plain boring. A very disappointing film.
