Tom Huddlestone
A rollicking, hysterical splatter-sex-comedy only confirms 'Thirst' as one of the year's more extreme, enjoyable entertainments.
Peter Rainer
What the film is saying, so far as I can tell, is that, if cut, you will bleed. And bleed.
Roger Moore
Thirst is a grim antidote to the sanitized, pale young things of Twilight, Supernatural and True Blood.
Tirdad Derakhshani
Thirst begins with great intellectual and artistic promise, then devolves into a repetitious mess of teeth, blades, necks, bites, arterial sprays, sex, sex, sex and death.
Ty Burr
Thirst keeps coming up against the limitations of its various inspirations like a bumper car on a crowded court. On almost every other level, the film's audaciously entertaining, at times even...
Cliff Doerksen
Park aficionados are assured their fix of lurid imagery and baroque plotting, though straight-up horror buffs may get restless during the sluggish and murky middle section; Twilight fans need not...

[U]nlike most exercises in hematic excess--Richard Rodriguez's Planet Terror, for instance, or Tarantino's Kill Bill--Thirst offers not the consolations of camp but the intensity of opera.
User reviews
Scene appreciation 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!
One of his best films After the Vengeance Trilogy! Superb cast and soundtrack. These vampires certainly don't glitter.
Wow This is what vampire films should be. Park Chan-Wook's direction is excellent as always. I can't recommend this enough.
Vampire movie as it should be. Great movie. I ave watched every movie I can find from Park and I am never disappointed.

Blackwood Manor has new tenants. While architect Alex Hurst and his new girlfriend Kim restore their Gothic mansion's period interiors, Alex's young daughter Sally—neglected by her real mother and brushed aside by the careerist father—can investigate the macabre history and dark corners of the estate. Spurring Sally's investigation are the voices—rasping whispers who call out to her from the basement, who promise her understanding and friendship, who are so very hungry and would like to be set free. When Sally gives in to her curiosity, she opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed, sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number: the homunculi. Confronted with the horror that now threatens to taker her life and destroy her family, Sally desperately tries to warn the whole house, but there's just one problem: no one believes her. Will she make them understand in time, or will they become another chapter in the centuries-long horror story of Blackwood Manor? © 2011 Miramax. All Rights Reserved.
