Fancy That: Thirst

There’s nothing like your first crush. And if you’re anything like us, you crush hard and often. This is where we pay homage to all things worthy of lusting after.

Michael fancies the new Korean vampire thriller Thirst. You can’t deny the allure of vampire lore these days. HBO’s True Blood and a certain teen juggernaut that just won’t quit are proof enough that we are suckers for these seductive bloodletters.

Director Park Chan-wook’s latest foray into the macabre and uniquely disturbing follows the story of a priest who’s forever changed by a radical medical experiment. By the looks of the trailer, fans can expect all the gore and provocative sex that typified his earlier work in the vengeance films and Oldboy (rumored to be getting the Hollywood treatment via Will Smith and Steven Spielberg, of all people). Robert Pattinson, meet your master.

Thirst opens in San Francisco next Friday, July 31st at Landmark’s Bridge Theatre (3010 Geary Boulevard, near Blake Street).
