Thirst
Vampirism as metaphor for religious struggle where we commit sin alone in the dark but are exposed for what we are when graced by the light. <PERSON> abandons the meditative potential within that premise to be a lil stinker and indulge in directorial highjinks (tense murder subplot, gross-out body horror, carnal sex scenes), in a way mirroring his protagonist who after taking his first bite of the apple decides to devote himself to a life of sin. As usual <PERSON> is great with the moment-to-moment but its only in the grand picture does he loose sight of himself. At the moment my favorite <PERSON> so far, would make a great double bill with Ferrari's The Addiction. 698
