Thirst is a 2009 South Korean horror film written, produced and directed by Park Chan-wook. It is loosely based on the novel ThΓ©rΓ¨se Raquin by Γmile Zola. The film won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Thirst is the first mainstream Korean film to feature full-frontal adult male nudity (but not the first-ever commercially released South Korean film to do so: that distinction goes to the 2006 film No Regret).
Sang-hyun, a priest working for a hospital, selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project intended to eradicate a deadly virus. However, the virus eventually takes over the priest. He nearly dies, but makes a miraculous recovery by an accidental transfusion of vampire blood. He realizes his sole reason for living: the pleasures of the flesh. Written by Pusan International Film Festival.
***SPOILER ALERT***
If this is based on a novel by Γmile Zola, then this shows the true nature of a vampire! I know that a vampire automatically contradicts the principles of naturalism, but anyway, in your face Twilight!
FINAL SCORE
