A priest loses his faith, and a failed medical experiment turns him into a vampire.
Park Chan-Wook film was a nice alternative to the other supernatural films of 2009, and a complete u-turn to the most successful other vampire film of 09', 'Twilight'.
'Thirst' suffers from style over substance, to an extent that the story and screenplay gets itself in a muddle, and is not as strong as some of Wook's more solid films such as 'Old Boy'.

'Thirst' is strongest in what is on show visually. The film is a visual treat, with impressive style and showmanship. A stand out is an outstanding set of set pieces, including a closing act to the film which is beautifully done, using very little dialogue.
Good performances, and a visually flair makes 'Thirst' one of the more stand out foreign language films of 09'.
