Park Chan-Wook's Thirst is essentially Émile Zola's Thérèse Raquin with the elements of vampires tossed into the mix for maximum ick factor.
As always, varied actor Song Kang-ho executes a wonderful performance that's both terrifying, sympathetic and oddly hilarious. It's a bit long but Park keeps it weird enough to keep you curious till the end.
It's a vampire love triangle without the sparkles. The kids won't understand.
