Care for a Bite? Thirst Movie Review

Will Thirst, the upcoming vampire movie from acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook, find as big and rabid an American audience as his cult hit Oldboy? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an intriguing spin on vampire lore that brings with it Park’s trademark oddball artistry. Find out more in my review of Thirst before it opens in select theaters on July 31.

The Children

The initial slate of Ghost House Underground DVDs released in 2008 provided some highs (Dance of the Dead, The Substitute) and lows (Brotherhood of Blood), but was otherwise a welcome addition to the horror release schedule. There’s no official word yet on a 2009 edition, but there are at least four films on Ghost House Underground’s radar without a specific release date. Could these be the first half of the 2009 GHU set?

  • The Children: What starts as a relaxing Christmas house party for two families turns into a horrifying fight for survival as the children mysteriously fall ill and begin to turn against their parents.
