The new and most bad-ass gay vampire Zombie splatter movie you’ll ever see… Ever! First up, the statement above is not of my making, no the statement above is lifted directly from the poster for Thirst. In my case the response is more… “What in the f**k did I just watch?!?” I mean, is this the type of movie that normally comes out of Iceland? Because if so… Sign me the hell up!

Every now and then I come across a foreign language flick that just throws me for a loop In terms of the quality and content. Films like Infernal Affairs, Brotherhood, Nightwatch and Why Don’t you Just Die. The pitch for Thirst was “adrenaline pumping vampire epic” so how the hell could I not check this one out?...

"Aren't you hungry?" "I don't touch women. I am a gentleman." Now what do we have here?! Uncork'd Ent. has released a brand new, extra gory red band trailer for an Icelandic vampire dark comedy thriller titled Thirst. Have a taste. Not to be confused with any of the other hundreds of vampire films also called Thirst. Drug addict Hulda is arrested and accused of murdering her brother. After she is let go due to insufficient evidence, she meets Hjörtur, a thousand-year-old badass gay vampire. Together they fight a cult while being investigated by a rogue detective. Sounds awesome? Just wait until you see the actual footage. The film stars Hjörtur Sævar Steinason, Hulda Lind Kristinsdóttir, Jens Jensson, Ester Sveinbjarnardóttir, and Birgitta Sigursteinsdóttir. This is super violent and extremely bloody (definitely Nsfw) and that's part of the magic. At least the vampire guy looks badass! Horror and/or vampire fans - don't miss this one.

After being released from custody due to insufficient evidence, she has nowhere to turn.
