"Where Oldboy was a roaring masterpiece, Thirst is a quiet one. Both equally affecting at haunting and staying with you long after the end credits are gone."
-Blake Etheridge, Cinema Is Dope

This one would have played Fantastic Fest this year, but it opens in theaters too soon. We are ecstatic, however, to bring this film to Austin for a sneak a peek at what's sure to be the best Korean Priest-turned-Vampire psycho-thriller of the decade.

Beloved and devoted priest from a small town volunteers for a medical experiment which fails and turns him into a vampire. Physical and psychological changes lead to his affair with a wife of his childhood friend who is repressed and tired of her mundane life. The one-time priest falls deeper in despair and depravity. As things turns for worse, he struggles to maintain whats left of his humanity.
