Overview
Sang-hyun, a respected priest, volunteers for an experimental procedure that may lead to a cure for a deadly virus. He gets infected and dies, but a blood transfusion of unknown origin brings him back to life as a vampire. Now, Sang-hyun is torn between faith and bloodlust, and has a newfound desire for Tae-ju, the wife of his childhood friend.
Chan Wook Park was making this for like ten years, and he surely has his arguments. The movie is very polished, mature and works on many different levels. A bit too many taking the runtime into account. But the last 30 minutes catches fire again and convinces me having watched a top-notch stuff. Like all Park’s movies, this has an amazing cinematography, great acting and a lot of wickedness. I have a weird imagination too, so it was tasty. The best thing about this movie is the ending though.
