Movie: Thirst

Great choice after getting through Daybreakers. Another vampire movie but with real emotion, real human conflict and an intimate look into Korean culture. It's a ground up movie beginning with the original creation of the vampire, a priest, then following him through denial then acceptance while interacting with characters along the way. The most important supporting character, his love interest, is equal parts charming and psychotic, which is a perfect complement to the priest's somewhat peaceful approach. The priest's inner conlfict takes center stage for most of the movie, but mixed with great acting from the supporting characters, odd, sometimes surreal plot twists and the final scene, this is a focused, balanced instant classic in the vampire movie genre.
