love getting good movies in physical form, will be getting some more soon

Like the directors previous work. This one was over the top. A priest vampire who falls in love with a married woman. She wants to become a vampire. That’s where this movie changes for the downturn in my humble opinion.

I couldn't be happier to finally have Thirst on Blu-ray!!

parts of this were great but it really falls off in places. there are much better vampire movies out there

This film is one of the best films of 2009. It has a top-notch storyline from a well-known director, Chan-wook Park, with excellent acting from one of South Korea's best actors, Kang-ho Song. Song plays a priest that volunteers to undergo an experiment to try and garner a cure for a deadly disease. Instead, he almost dies and in the process, is given a blood transfusion. Somehow this transfusion turns him into a vampire. He finds himself craving, needing blood and this starts a slow descent into a private hell full of torment and guilt. He reconnects with a childhood sweetheart and his desire for her coupled with his feeling of damnation leads him to make some bad choices. These choices snowball and events in his life quickly unravel and become surreal. The story is filled with allegory, illusion, humor, action, drama and more. The moments of dark humor will take you by surprise-in a good way. The film maintained continuity in its excellence throughout. I do not think any viewer will leave this one disappointed.
