THIRST (Movie Review)


"I think... we'll both go to hell. I have a terrible illness."

First, let me just get this out of the way this movie is phenomenal, easily the best vampire movie I have ever seen, and of course is directed by the legend of foreign horror Chan-wook Park (Old boy, Lady Vengence, Sympathy for Mr. Vengence, J.S.A). When starting the movie I was a little afraid that it would start slow, and have to introduce characters, inorder to introduce the storyline. Haha, was i wrong the movie started so fast and brought you right into the story with very little background, and worked perfectly! The actor who played the vampire was Kang-ho Song who has played in a number of Park previous films. Song has always been a favorite actor of mine with such outstanding performance in "Old Boy," and "The Host" I had high hopes that he would be amazing in this movie as well. Song performace in the thirst was of course nothing but spectacular, stealing blood from a hospital, eloping with a beautiful girl, and playing Mah Jong. Even the young girl played by Ok-bin Kim was delightfuly entertaining, from her shy manerisms to her unfortunate demise. I dont' feel like I should talk about the story, because im afraid i might give up too much information, in short this movie deserves to be watched, and not read about. So please, when your sitting down watching the twilight series with your girlfriend, tell her to close her eyes and switch the disks, you'll be doing your self a favor. Besides this movie has much more skin and blood then twilight, muchhhh more skin.
