Watched: Bakjwi (Thirst)

Bloody. Morbidly funny and vaguely claustrophobic. Vampirism done right, and although it saddens me I don't think it's possible to talk about the vampire phenomenon without mentioning Twilight. Thirst puts the Twilight series to shame. Besides maybe Edward chewing Bella's fetus out of her, none of Meyer's attempts at storytelling reach the level of both tragic, doomed romance or horror that Thirst does. Of course, for Chan-wook Park, this isn't some accomplishment, it's just Tuesday. Think more Nosferatu, less sparkle.
