Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Thirst keeps coming up against the limitations of its various inspirations like a bumper car on a crowded court. On almost every other level, the film's audaciously entertaining, at times even quite moving. You just have to have the stomach for it.
– Ty Burr,

rotten:
Thirst begins with great intellectual and artistic promise, then devolves into a repetitious mess of teeth, blades, necks, bites, arterial sprays, sex, sex, sex and death.
– Tirdad Derakhshani,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
27 Aug 2009
fresh:
Thirst is a grim antidote to the sanitized, pale young things of Twilight, Supernatural and True Blood.

rotten:
What the film is saying, so far as I can tell, is that, if cut, you will bleed. And bleed.
– Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor,

fresh:
A rollicking, hysterical splatter-sex-comedy only confirms 'Thirst' as one of the year's more extreme, enjoyable entertainments.
