Oldboy director Chan-wook Park gives us a more adult tale of the undead. Hyun, the hero of Thirst, is a Catholic priest who volunteers to work at his order's missionary hospital in
Africa, where he contracts the deadly EV virus and faces certain death. Due to a last minute
blood transfusion, he miraculously survives and on his return to Korea, wrapped
like a mummy to conceal the lesions and pustules, he's dubbed "the bandaged saint" by
his followers. But moving into the household of an old school friend, he reacts to the
smell of blood.
