DESPERATELY SEEKING SERIOUSNESS

„Underworld” saga never could be proud of its origins and plots, but the last part really overdid it with its quasi-complicated new characters and concepts in a somewhat stale franchise.

Kate Beckinsale is there, but nothing much has changed since her last appearance in the story about men, vampires and werewolves. There will be more physical action, some old school shooting, but also some retro tools. However, the outcome will be more or less the same, opening new doors for a prolonged box office hit that will continue to drench out the water from a really, really dry stone.

„Underworld: Blood wars” would hardly be interesting even for the fans of this serial.

KOREAN „TWILIGHT”

Comedy about the pair of vampires is a dangerous path for every movie industry, except the Korean. Especially when its being driven by Chan-wook Park („Vengeance” trilogy) and when center of the story is built around a young minister.

„Thirst” will dance between drama, comedy and some serious horror from the beginning to the very end. Along that way, the rhythm will be pretty unstable, as well as the sharpness of its satirical blade, making this entire production somewhat non consistent.

„Thirst” is the very first attempt in the world to make vampire genre serious, although only partially successful.

THIRST – 5/10
