“Thirst” in Review
August 18th, 2009 by Richard under reviews. No Comments.
America is awash in vampires. And yet despite this flood of bloodsuckers, so many critical parts of the vampires experience get ignored or swept under the rug, as filmmakers and HBO seriesmakers use vampires as mere metaphors in their drives to tackles issues.
Now, from South Korea comes a film that shows America about the real challenges vampires face and the dilemmas they face in their day to day lives.
I enjoy “True Blood” as much as anyone, but let’s face it, the show is an entertainment. In the typical day (or night) of a vampire, they are as likely to come into contact with shapeshifters and maenads as you and I are to bump into General Custer waiting on line for a Godmother sub at Bay Cities.
