Movie Review

Thirst
Rating 9.5

aka Bakjwi
Korea, 2009
by Chan-wook Park
starring: korean people














An incredible movie.  Kang-ho Song is always a joy to watch but the acting all around was great.  Storyline, cinematography, and directorial style are all notably fantastic.  Chan-wook Park has for a long while made great effort to imagine and create spectacular visuals and does lots of great stuff here.  Easily the best vampire movie I've ever seen.
The character of the priest is wonderful, his plight and the manners in which he deals with everything is fascinating and moved me.  Thirst will blow a lot of people away and hopefully those who will end up loving it will get the chance to see it.

  1. Herzog's Nosferatu is a better vampire movie, but otherwise I agree with you. Besides, you haven't seen that movie.
