Evade the Tweelight. Watch a real vampire movie.
Thirst (Bakjwi) is the best goddamned vampire movie I've seen since Let The Right One In.
It's dark. It's monstrous. It's reflective. It's pulp. It's funny. It's bloody. It's violent. It deals with actual human emotions and conflicts. It's a genre film that explores and expands upon the limits of the genre without devolving into masturbatory references. It's a fucked-up love story between a person who is fucked-up through no real fault of his own and another who is just a truly fucked-up fuckup. It makes its characters deal with the consequences of their actions.
Brilliant.
