  “Thirst” is more of a love story (however wrong or messed-up) than a vampire-horror film. It is about a priest who becomes a vampire through an infusion of blood used to try to save his life from a medical experiment attempting to cure a fatal disease. He is a pious man, but this new condition of his opens his life to the pleasures of sin. He needs blood and does not kill, but he falls in love with the wife of a childhood friend and the seduction begins.
