Thirst (2009)

"Not for your average teen vampire movie!" - summit10

This is not your typical vampire movie!

A Priest yearning to discover a cure for the patients wants to be a part of an experiment that will heal Leprosy. He volunteered for this missionary work that will make him as one with the community of Lepers. Unknowingly, he doesn't realize the horror this will bring upon him!

Months passed, his condition worsened and on a fateful day, he was declared dead by the hospital staff...or so it seems!

Searching for an answer, he left the community with more questions to his predicament. He came back to the monastery as a Saint, people declaring that he was the only person who survived this ordeal.

He soon left the monastery and found solace in a village continuing his work. As he was performing parlor tricks for a sick child, a woman was tapping the window who is in need of a priest to heal her son.

The Priest meets the family and soon falls for the son's wife, she was not hard to please since she yearns for a man unlike his pathetic, loser of a husband.

This is where the fun part comes in...

Soon the two are coveting, meeting night after night when they finally realized a shared goal... to be together and dispose the son. A fishing trip, a murder scene and to make it worse, the mother got into a stroke due to the pain of losing her son.

The Priest took refuge in their home, a cabinet for a coffin, a desperate, pathetic ghost and a trip to the watering hole... i meant blood bar just to wet his whistle.

The Priest (not by virtue) and his paramour would soon find themselves into ackward situations like looking for blood and trying to kill each other, but to no avail. The passive Priest and the aggresiveness of the woman he loves got in the way most of the time while giving her the benefit of the doubt that they need to survive. Feeling lost, he cannot condone this kind of life anymore, he decided to end it the best way he knows how.

He drove to a place where the sun shines and end this pain for both their sakes. Together with the Mother, they had this comedic run on things which the woman tried her best to not experience the heat of the sun rising, hiding in the trunk, tugging the trunk door and slipping underneath the car but she soon realizes that the end was near and the only thing that is waiting for them both is the light of their redemption.

The ending scene was touching and even though she cried so much they found themselves in each others arms even at death... even putting emphasis on the shoes he gave her the first time he shown compassion for the woman who had blisters on her feet.

A forbidden love story!!!
