(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1   "Something must have bored writer/director Chan-wook Park, because the second and third acts of Thirst play like scenes out of a totally different and much more incoherent film."   Examiner.com   Adam Lippe 3.5/5 "The heart of Thirst may be a vampire film but its soul is a morality play, while its flesh is a sensuous playground of desire."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel 2/5 "Overlong by a half-dozen blood spurts and tonally frantic"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C- ""Thirst" lacks an appropriate atmosphere and tempo to compete with last year's great deconstructionist vampire movie "Let the Right One In.""   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 6/10 "Full of ache and desire, Tae-ju seems the ultimate embodiment of the title of Park Chan-wook's new film, Thirst (Bakjwi)."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs "Among its type, 'Thirst' succeeds despite too many distractions."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2.5/4 "From the sweltering, acrobatic sex to the bone-crunching suckings and slayings, Tae-ju's angrily orchestrated mayhem rhymes perfectly with Chan-wook's voracious style."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "Though brimming with crisp, stylish coolness and some unsettling images, it doesn't have much of an emotional center."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "Park's welcome streak for dark comedy does overcome the monotony here and there, but when the sun finally comes up we're left with little but scattered particles of something that tried to do something good, but ultimately failed."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "Its fierce style and ripe humor are hard to resist"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce C "Leaves your hope for something not just unusual but tasty unquenched."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "God knows that now, more than ever, we need another vampire movie. But seriously %u2014 we could use a good one."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 3.5/5 "Thirst may not be the greatest vampire movie ever made, but Park's willingness to try something different makes it a decidedly fresh take on the genre."   IGN Movies UK   Joe Utichi B+ "...director Chan-wook Park ("Old Boy") has a field day tossing several genres into a blender to concoct his deliriously wacky, erotic, comedic and gory twist on the vampire tale."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Park Chan-wook's melodramatic "revenge trilogy" set a high bar for perversity and squirm-inducing violence that Thirst ... easily matches."   Horror Hacker   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "Leave it to Park Chan-Wook to put a stake in any pretty, romanticized notions of the undead in down and dirty, daring and dynamic style."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3.5/5 "Park directs with his usual eye-catching skill and attention to gruesome detail, and creates a story with strong emotional resonance."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 6/10 "One part myth, one part vampire and one part over the top hilarity is a promising combination, but this story doesn't add enough to the overused vampire genre to succeed."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "Park hits all the classic vampire themes in a loose, often meandering narrative..."   Seanax.com   Sean Axmaker 3/5 "A film that begins as a film about a crisis of faith and ends up with a crisis of identity itself."   Orlando Weekly   William Goss  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1
