A priest selflessly allows himself to be a research guinea pig to help find a
cure to a dangerous disease that is killing off missionaries. During the
treatment he starts vomiting up blood and receives a blood transfusion. He dies,
but suddenly comes back to life and appears to be completely cured. After being
released from the hospital, he realizes that he's showing traits of a vampire!
Being a priest and a vampire at the same time is a conflict of interests,
especially when he starts having a hot love affair with a beautiful young woman.
Now he's torn between his faith, "
the blood thirsty beast" living within
him and the lust for this woman.
Despite the bland title, THIRST is a highly entertaining film that borders on
being great. It's probably the best vampire movie since the original
FRIGHT NIGHT. The story is fresh and inventive, the acting is excellent and the photography
is especially stunning. The less said the better just watch it.
Highly
recommended.
