Park Chan-Wook, the force behind Oldboy and Lady Vengeance, brings us ‘Thirst,’ a complicated vampire story. I know what you’re thinking – ”I’m sick of vampires!” — but this one is different. This film came out in the earlier part of 2009 and I finally got a chance to see it. Sang-Hyun, a goodhearted priest, volunteers to participate in a vaccine development program for a deadly virus. Things go horribly wrong and he is eventually given a life-saving blood transfusion. When he wakes up, he finds that he has an intense thirst for blood and an aversion to the sun. I wonder what that could mean? Oh, he’s a vampire! He copes with his newfound lust by siphoning blood from a dying man in the hospital he works for. He doesn’t harm the man and feels this is the only justifiable way to cope with being a vampire.
