Clean and sober for the first time in years, Lisa (Clare Kramer) and Maxx (Matt Keeslar) are just beginning to get their lives together when they fall under the spell of the seductive Darius (Jeremy Sisto), the leader of a local vampire clan. Lured into his world, the couple soon finds a new addiction -- blood -- in this darkly humorous gore fest co-starring Adam Baldwin and featuring the music of Rasputina, Jack the Mad and more.
"THE THIRST is a freaky fun-filled ride for the strong-hearted horror fan." Bums Corner
"....solid clever stuff...stands on its own two fangs admirably." Jo Blo
"The Thirst is an hour and a half of blood spewing fun, without any real story-based hang-ups. While countless others are beating the dead horse that is vampire cinema (Dead & Deader anyone?), it seems only The Thirst is trying to breathe a little unlife back into it!" Phantasmagoria
"Most of the actors seem to be having a little tongue-in-cheek fun with the material, but a few of 'em go overboard in wonderfully amusing fashion." DVD Talk
"Vampire lovers beware, you will soon have another classic blood spurting flick to introduce to your all time favorites list!" Pretty Scary.net
"Cheap and cheerful..." Jim Hall, Channel 4
"With geysers of arterial spraying each time a victim's throat is bitten, this rivals Leif Jonker's DARKNESS as the bloodiest vampire movie ever made..." Stu Willis, SexGoreMutants
"THE THIRST is anarchic, never focusing its energy for more than a few frames on any one thing...The torture that Kessler plays when he accidentally kills one of his best friends, while trying to turn her, is the films most interesting psychological moment. It�s in that scene and the so-sad-you�ll-laugh-out-loud REQUIEM FOR A DREAM �cat sequence� that THE THIRST really hits its stride." Bloody Disgusting
"...the hippest vampire club this side of Santa Carla, led by flamboyant Eurotrash Darius." DVD Verdict
"[THE THIRST] is a keeper. It possesses its own special kick that carries it well past any troubling concerns over its originality. The vampires are a nasty lot, so far removed from concerns of humanity, or conscience, that the glee they take in their own evil is downright stunning." SciFi Channel
"Sexy, grimy, bloody and inventive, The Thirst is a rare vampire film indeed when you consider the silly Blade and Underworld rip-offs floating around out there." Joe Horror
