If your interested in anything supernatrual, or specifically Vampire related, then read on for details on the new Blu-Ray / DVD release of the Park Chan-wook film, Thirst. Going by the review the film has a fresh take on the usual Vampire movies and is definitely worth a watch, even if you have grown tired of the usual format that came about in the early part of this decade.
Korean screen favourite Song Kang-ho (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Memories of Murder, The Host) stars as Father Sang-hyeon, a Catholic priest who flies in the face of Vatican advice and volunteers as a test subject for biochemical experiment to find a vaccine for the deadly Emmanuel virus. It’s a high risk procedure that proves fatal for Sang-hyeon, but just seconds after he’s been pronounced dead he returns to life, the only one of five hundred to survive the infection. Could that blood transfusion he was given shortly before his death have anything to do with it?
As this film has had little media coverage, it may have slipped your rader but if the above excerpt has you interested, visit the DVD Outsider website for the complete review.
