Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

immichellepratt I loved it! It was so much fun to see so many of my frequent TV faves on the "big screen". Back in the days before "The Middleman", "Firefly", "Six Feet Under" and "Buffy". Not to forget Erik Palladino from a little bit everywhere. Everyone is going through a Change of Life. 12 Stepping with Dracula and trying not to enable each other! An eye-opening view of hypocrisy in the young among the ages. This movie brings blood soaked gore into the modern psycho-babble world, where we have killed "the child within" in order to heal it. A lot of Vampiric fun with moderate to juicy blood flow and a neat moral in the end. Like something Tarantino might have ...cut his teeth on?;-}

William Gardner As an artist, I have a great deal of respect for the process of movie making. I realize that for some people involved, this hypothetical movie that I may be watching, even though it may not be to my tastes, may represent their life's work for some involved in the process. I can see how it is the work product of creative people, and I appreciate their efforts, even if not the end product. For this reason I almost never rate a movie lower than a "5".Then we come to "The Thirst"...... This is a movie that, at the end, makes me want to stand and scream "I WANT MY 2 HOURS BACK!" For the first time (not that it should have been my first perhaps) I sat there as the credits rolled and thought to myself, "that person should be fired by the studio, and that person, and ....." It was brutal. The plot was weak, the camera work was really bad, and the acting was lousy too (in large part to the weak plot). Unless you are conduction a film study or in a class that requires you to see how bad a movie really can be, I would recommend you steer clear of this disaster.

lexyladyjax The reviews claiming it was similar to The Hunger and Near Dark lured me into watching this disaster of a flick. There was nothing in this film that bore any similarity to The Hunger whatsoever.The F/X were painful to watch and the performances caused even more discomfort. This wasn't just a horror movie, this was gorn, and bad gorn at that. The blood spurting wasn't even coming out in double spurts as it would when arteries are severed...Jeremy Sisto's idea to use multiple accents to demonstrate the longevity of his character was just confusing. Rather than credibly establishing via the accent changes Darius had lived for hundreds of years it made me think he had multiple personality disorder.Clare Kramer's performance seemed off, too. I've seen her portray a hellgod and believed her but I didn't believe her as someone who had a fatal illness. What kind of cancer causes one to vomit blood, requires chemotherapy and radiation, yet allows one to look hot? Neil Jackson (Duke of Earl) and Tom Lenk (Kronos) were the best performances in this stinker. It grieves me to write that because I'm a big fan of Adam Baldwin (Lenny). I don't buy Adam Baldwin as a Muslim, either. The accent is wrong.I came willing to be charmed. I love vampires.Unfortunately Clare Kramer, Jeremy Sisto, Adam Baldwin, and Tom Lenk with all their talents together can't save this Titanic disaster from plunging to the bottom of the ocean of blood used in this gornfest.So save your time. Give this one a miss, especially if you like cats.

gavin6942 A woman seemingly dies of cancer. But her boyfriend soon discovers her at a goth club where she has joined a cult of vampires led by Jeremy Sisto. Of course, the boyfriend joins the cult and then the fun begins...I had my worries about this one. A low budget film, with "Starz" mentioned about eight times before the film even begins (okay, Starz, I get it... just chill out). And a vampire story, which is one of the more overdone horror branches exploited today. On top of this all, the case claims it's "Requiem For a Dream" meets "Near Dark" and we should always be aware these sorts of comparisons are never accurate (except with "The Hunt" -- see separate review).In all fairness, this film did have some elements of "Requiem", though I wouldn't say it was quite on that level. And it was a really good movie once it got going. I particularly need to say the makeup and special effects crew did a wonderful job. The lead actress (Clare Kramer of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") transformed radiantly fro ma dumpy cancer patient to a glorious stunning vampire. And the blood! Oh my, the blood! This film sets a new standard on blood spray. Without being over the top like "Kill Bill", this film has more blood spray than you'll ever see in a movie. Maybe that's the only thing the special effects guy does, but he does it so well it hurts.And I can't sell the cast short. Jeremy Sisto, as I say, is wonderful as always. He may have played Jesus Christ, but his best roles remain his Satanic horror roles. Clare Kramer was great, all of the supporting cast was great. I'd like to spotlight Tom Lenk (another "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" veteran), whose part was much too small in this film -- though he had enough time to make a gay reference about himself, which seems to be a running theme with Lenk.Who picked out the soundtrack? Science bless that individual! A few Rasputina favorites (a remix of "State Fair" and "antique-high-heel-red-doll-shoes") and some other goth and industrial blends. I couldn't have down any better myself (the only man who does a better job with his soundtracks is director Gregg Araki). I now own the DVD, but would gladly purchase the soundtrack so I could listen to this film in my car and be reminded of the great dance club scenes and blood-spraying massacres.Despite hundreds of vampire films flooding the market every year (okay, a slight exaggeration) this one is not derivative but actually offers a good story. What is more important? Love? Eternal life? Friendship? These issues are explored... that, and the whole idea of overcoming addiction (remember the "Requiem for a Dream" comparison). I highly recommend this film. Next to the other films I've watched recently ("The Hunt", "Heartstopper", "Dark Ride" and "The Odd Couple II"....) this is a panacea for my cinematic ills. Thank you, Starz!
