We’re kicking off our brand-new February theme I’m In Love With a Monster with one of the most intense, sensual, and morally messy vampire films ever made: Park Chan-wook’s Thirst.

This Korean cult classic isn’t your typical cape-and-fangs romance—it’s a brutal, bloody, and surprisingly emotional descent into desire, guilt, and what happens when immortality collides with very human impulses.

In this episode, the Slashers crew dives deep into the film’s twisted love story between a devout priest turned vampire and a deeply repressed woman craving escape. We unpack the film’s shocking eroticism and philosophical themes.

Is this the sexiest vampire movie ever made—or one of the most disturbing? Does love survive when morality dies? And would any of us handle eternal life better than these two absolute disasters?

Romantic. Repulsive. Revolutionary. This month, we’re falling for monsters—and Thirst is our first crush.
