Director Park Chan-Wook’s (‘Oldboy’) latest movie, ‘Thirst‘ is due to hit UK cinemas on the 16th October 2009. The movie has an unusual blend of horror and drama that centres around one man (played by Song Kang-ho) who is turned into a vampire after a medical experiment goes horribly wrong.
‘Thirst‘ follows the life of Sang-hyun, a priest who cherishes life so much that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But the virus takes hold of the priest and a blood transfusion is urgently ordered for him. The blood he receives is infected, so Sang-hyun lives – but now exists as a vampire. Struggling with his newfound carnal desire for blood, Sang-hyun’s faith is further strained when a childhood friend’s wife comes to him asking for his help in escaping her life. Sang-hyun soon plunges into a world of sensual pleasures, finding himself on intimate terms with the Seven Deadly Sins.
Should be a good movie as the director is the same from the classic Old Boy. If you have seen the movie please feel free to comment.
