Thirst, 2009 – ★★★
Stylish and unconventional, it breathes new life into familiar vampire lore with Park Chan-wook’s signature flair.
Stylish and unconventional, it breathes new life into familiar vampire lore with Park Chan-wook’s signature flair.
Derivative and low-rent, it rides the coattails of better films without offering a single fresh idea.
Looks good but feels hollow—style over spirit, with none of the spark that could’ve made it memorable.
Darkly funny and steadily escalating, it keeps piling on chaos in a way that’s both entertaining and sharp.
Takes its time getting there, but the finale makes the journey worthwhile—an ending that’s bound to enterain you.
Well-acted and chilling, it captures the tragedy and madness without glamorizing the violence.
Shaky out of the gate, but once it finds its rhythm, it hits harder and proves a worthy step up from the first.
Driven by a lively lead and pulpy charm, it’s a fun ride that leaves you wishing for more stories that’ll never come.
Sharp and engrossing, with strong performances and a fascinating look at justice through an unfamiliar lens.
Takes its time building atmosphere, then explodes with a finale that makes the wait worthwhile.
Dark, shocking, and heavier than expected—grim subject matter handled with style and impact.
Glossy but empty, it fades from memory almost instantly—nothing to grab onto or care about.
Too uneven to fully land. Flashes of potential that don’t quite add up.
Ambitious but flat, it never finds the spark to match its potential—a rare stumble from a usually reliable filmmaker.
Breaks the format too often to fully work, but still delivers enough to keep it engaging.
