Absolutely fantastic. Park Chan-wook proves once again he's a master of his craft. This film is extremely entertaining, gorgeously shot and with two fantastic lead performances to boot. Among the best vampire movies I've ever seen. Loved it. Can't wait for Chan-wook's next movie!

Chan-wook Park balances thematic clarity with wild originality. He never allows sporadic shifts in tone to take control in a negative way. Instead, he finds cohesion in the mayhem and turns out a powerful, unique piece of work. Technically pristine.

Oldboy blew me away when I saw it, and this one is truly wonderful. This young South Korean cinema amazes me with their epic sense of beauty, passion, exacerbated romanticism and horror.

All the ingredients are promising: a great director, two inspired performers, remarks about life and religion, supernatural elements, love and sexuality. But when mixed together, all this doesn't really make the movie shine. Such a shame.

I guess I didn't understood the film that well. first it was interesting, second it got a bit draggy and at the end I really didn't care... it was kind of boring to be honest

Funny, creepy, sexy. Some very fine performances. The sex is actually sexy - and important to the movie. Usually I'd just rather it were left out.

Kim Ok-Bin was pure dynamite in here. This is one of the better vampire movies that I have seen.

I really like vampire films so when I found out Park Chan-wook made a vampire film ... expectations were high. It's a gorgeous, elegant film. Kim Ok-Bin performance was outstanding. But I kind of hate the movie. And here is why... the priest!..Song kang-ho was anything but a vampire. I couldn't believe him...Watch him pretending to be sexy or cute was excruciatingly painful.

Park Chan Wook has an eye for style, blood, and horror, so naturally he'd be at home in the vampire genre, and this film uses the stereotypes against type well. Overlong by at least a half hour, but properly nutty.

Subversive, sexy, twisted, perverse - my kind of film. Forget Oldboy - putting these traits aside even, this remains a masterclass in contemporary filmmaking for its outstanding technical, narrative and aesthetic proficiency.

Have you seen "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance"?

No, just this, Oldboy and I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK. I've enjoyed all three to varying degrees. Mr. Vengeance is where to go next, then?

Very fun, like a gorey graphic novel in action. And I know this MIGHT be odd to say, but I really enjoyed the sex scenes.

großartig gestaltet, emotional mitreißend, etwas creepy, ein etwas anderer vampirfilm

I liked it. Not a masterpiece but a very good film about all you have to know about vampires. The real ones, I mean. Recommended.

In 2007 a 17 years old scored 17/20 in an oral examination on Zola's first book. This adaptation deserves the same grade at least.

A unique vampire movie that suffers a bit from a wildly varying tone.

The varying tone was one of the things I loved about this film. I guess it's one of those things that works for some people, but not for others.

Probably one of the best vampire movies that I've ever seen, and a refreshing view on vampirism without trying to be neither mythological nor too damn serious on the subject in any way. Park Chan-wook proves once again that he is one of the finest directors of the modern era in filmmaking.

The first half is a little slower then I would've liked it to be, but there are a number of brilliant scenes in here. The final scene is masterful.

Watched it last year on the FantasyFilmFest in Cologne and it was great. Wonderfull movie. Nice perspective.

One of the best things that Park Chan-Wook did with his vengeance trilogy was show us that revenge is always messy and never black-and-white. With Thirst, he very successfully shows us that the same goes for love. Meanwhile, he somehow completely rescues the vampire film genre from its pop-culture doom. If anyone could do it, it would be him. Love ya, Park.
