Summary: thirst
Review: I am waiting for someone who has purchased the DVD to give us an idea of the quality of this release. I'd love to own this DVD but I was horribly burned with "Day of the Triffids" and have become gun-shy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great cult movie
Review: I remember watching this movie when I was very young. It had something that just seemed to stick with me, so that when 20 years had passed, I still remembered this movie. I just finished watching it today after all those years, and I still find it very captivating. The lead actress is very beautiful and innocent, and soon realizes that she is more than she ever thought she would be. This movie is pretty creepy and makes me want to keep watching. I would recommend it to anyone, though I think I liked it more so when I was a kid.

Summary: Aussie Vampire
Review: I saw this film at the cinema (as a double-bill with an equally rare film "The Silent Flute"). I was mesmerised by it, not least because of the sleekily sexy Chantal Contouri who plays Kate Davis, heiress to a vampire legacy.

These vampires are not fanged night-creatures (despite the cover-art; they actually only put in fanged dentures for the occasional ritual feast, otherise they drink blood from milk cartons). These vampires run a blood-farm where zombie-like young people are occasionally hooked up to machines and 'milked' of their blood.

The vampires want young Kate to join them, to mate with another blue-blood vampire.

The film, low-budgeted is quite well done.

Sadly, Chantal Contouri has not made many films. She appears older, but equally sexual in another Australian film "Offspring".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hard to find
Review: i saw this movie when i was little and have always remembered alot of the scenes from it,but never could think of the title until about 2 years ago when it was on late night cable.it's nice to know that there are a few really good "blood" flicks out there that only a handful of people know........ can't wait to get it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thrilling
Review: I think that this movie was great. some parts of it were a bit off the wall but the over all of it was perfect. I really enjoyed this film and i think it should be seen by all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is THE DISC to fulfill your THIRST!
Review: If you know about this film already, you'll not need any other words. But if you don't, and if you have some taste on this genre, Horror, and need something different, THIRST is just for you. I don't want to shout about it as a GREAT film though, but literally a LITTLE GEM from Ausie Horror Scene of mid-70s to mid-80s, its MadMax Age. A Head of a modern-day-vampire-community tries to seduce a young girl, Kate Davies, who is the decendant of the infamous blood-drinking Baroness Elizabeth Bathory. It's somewhat a low budget production, but the tone of the film is surprisingly atomospheric, eerie, and effective. Direction is tight, and its music score, yes, the music is just great. Brian May, who wrote first two MadMax, and almost all the Ausie SciFi/Horror scores of this age, is at his best here. The disc has his entire music on its isolated track, thus proving this DVD knows what is juicy about the film. Also this is the very first presentation of the film's CinemaScope aspect ratio, which reveals more information lost for years on previous VHS version, along with rich composition of the frame. If you like THIRST, you will also need PATRICK, which is just out on a gorgeous DVD Special Edition in the same way....I had been dying to wait for this DVD emerges, now expecting they will release HARLEQUIN, THE SURVIVOR, and ROAD GAMES, also a great little gem from Australia.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fairly suspenseful, decently acted, vampire thriller.
Review: This Aussie movie features the fine Chanel Contouri, and David Hemmings, and is a fairly suspenseful movie. Ms. Contouri does a good job as the heiress to a weird legacy. Not sure how much was lost due to "modification", but Ms. Contouri has a brief "partial nude" scene. That aside, it's not a bad movie, and a little gruesome, but still, not as bad as today; given the times. Worth a look, if you can find it. (I was "lucky?" to find it elsewhere.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Seldom Seen Film
Review: This is a terrific little film with a great take on vampirism that is different than anything else out there. It is not filled with gore and action, and much of it is during the day, but the atmosphere is great. The film itself is widescreen in a beautiful transfer. I highly recommending trying this one out if you like this sort of thing and are open to something new and different.

Rating: 5 stars

Has modern overtones which most Vamp flicks lack.Well directed,plot is intruiging,keeps you moving along, and soundtrack is fantastic!Highly recommended by a Vampire film expert.This 'oughta quench your THIRST for a great Vampire flick!!!!
