Thirst review
A 1,000-year-old vampire obsessed with removing men’s genitals is the main storyline in this body horror, filmed in trashy 1980s synth-heavy style
TL;DR
- The film "Thirst" is an Icelandic gore fest filmed in a trashy 1980s style.
- A 1,000-year-old vampire lures men into his car for dismemberment.
- The film features a synth-heavy soundtrack and deliberately ridiculous over-the-top moments.
- Hjörtur Sævar Steinason gives an entertaining performance as the vampire Hjörtur.
- Hjörtur targets men, not women like Hulda, who is being harassed by police.
- The film lacks a deep meaning or metaphor, focusing on graphic spectacle.
- Some scenes, like Hjörtur's comment about hotdogs, might achieve cult status.
