Director Park Chan-wook may have invented a new genre with "Thirst," his film about a priest turned bloodsucker who doesn't like to kill.The movie combines horror, suspense, social satire and humor in the story of a man of faith transformed into a vampire by a medical experiment gone wrong.
If pushed, Park calls the film "a vampire romance." But he doesn't like labels.
"I didn't set out to make a vampire film that would infuse fresh new blood into the genre," Park said through an interpreter. "I didn't want to make a completely new vampire film. I wanted to make a completely new film with priests in it."
Park is one of South Korea's most respected directors, with a resume that includes the gory "Oldboy," which won Cannes' second prize in 2004.
"Thirst," co-produced by Universal Pictures, is the first Korean film made with Hollywood backing.
The central character's faith in God makes "Thirst" the story of a spiritual struggle. Priest Sang-hyung (Song Kang-ho), experiences a crisis of faith and morality when he discovers he must drink human blood to survive...

I really enjoyed his revenge trilogy (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, and Mr. Vengeance). He masterfully explored the human psyche in those films.

I highly doubt this is anything like Twilight considering Park Chan-wook is an amazing dark and brilliant director while Twilight is just cheesy crap made to sell movie tickets and poster. Also this film was in the works before Twilight's success at the box office.
