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

Thirst is a grim antidote to the sanitized, pale young things of Twilight, Supernatural and True Blood.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
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
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, Boston Globe
