thirst (2009)


AKA Bakjwi. Kawaki.
"Those who seek direct communication with God are prone to self-hatred."
Sang-hyeon (Kang-ho Song) is a priest, dedicated to helping others, who volunteers for a secret vaccine project trying to eradicate a deadly virus. Complications ensue and the priest dies following a blood transfusion, but then miraculously revived, he re-enters society as a fated miracle worker. He stays with a friend he has cured of cancer, and it is there that he starts to struggle with new found desires. Especially when he starts to be attracted to the friends wife Tae-ju (Ok-bin Kim) and he descends into a world of sensual pleasures craving blood.
Visually and viscerally stunning horror.
