Ratings and reviews

Its weird philosophy heavy vampire film. And I can't recommend watching it enough. If you liked Old Boy, or just enjoy the strange moral quandaries of vampirism as more then a passing plot pint, this is for you.

Park's movies are blindingly gorgeous for color, arrangement, and other attention to fine detail. Thirst is no different and does an excellent job subjugating fantasy to reality. Park is one of the few filmmakers you follow for their unique or painstaking, remarkable visions. Excellent taste!

Makes Hollywood look stupid. Superior quality in acting, script, cinematography, editing, directing and score. American movie quality is shameful compared to this film and many many other foreign independent films.
