Thirst (2015) Reviews
I see what they were going for, but they didn't pull it off
Thirst started out kind of fun. By the 30 minute mark we had a nicely established cast of characters (if a little cookie cutter), in a plausible wilderness scenario and I was enjoying myself ready for them to get picked off one by one by the creature. The creature itself was satisfying enough. The sfx, while not great, were passable, and the centaur/biomechanical alien design was unique. They showed it a bit too much imo, when they could have hidden some of the dodgier cgi moments with cleverer direction, but overall the beast was well done. Unless I'm very much mistaken, the director and writer were going for a fun, 80s style horror in the vein of Tremors or The Blob remake. Props for that, because in these days of convoluted plots, a simple people vs monster story is always welcome. However, after the first act, the film falls apart quickly. The characters become increasingly unlikeable as the movie progresses due to really dumb choices and forced bickering. The director makes the poor decision of killing off the most likable and interesting character first, and so the one guy who might have carried the movie is quickly lost. Thirst also suffers from the same problem many indies face - ill fitting music. The score might be fine as a standalone composition but it really just doesn't fit with what's going on on screen. It's tension building when it should be exciting, exciting when it should be tension building, ominous when it should be sad... it's almost like the composer was flying blind and trying to score without actually seeing the film. This along with some lackluster directing really kills any sense of fun, atmosphere or excitement that the movie could have had. Shame, because I usually love these kinds of films. 4/10
Not too shabby
It moves quickly; has good writing in the form of a tight plot and some believable characters; and features interesting Utah landscapes and respectable special effects - pound for dollar (and it's free on SyFy), it's a worthy effort. The weakness is the inability of the director to control the mood in a perfectly competent manner. This inability is often seen in movies of this genre, and while THIRST doesn't make as many mistakes as other, lesser entries, the mistakes are certainly there. Here we have a group of people being terrorized and slaughtered by an alien creature, and yet they still have the wherewithal to make bad jokes at random moments and to seem oblivious to the epoch-making mystery of it all. To see what a grade A production can do with this kind of material, watch the 2011 version of THE THING. After her first horrific encounter with the creature, the young paleontologist gazes up at the stars and says, "I'll never look at them in the same way again..." An even better example of tight control is the Tom Cruise masterpiece EDGE OF TOMORROW. The humor is always there, but it's always apropos.
Good fun......
I'm left scratching my head wondering why some people seem to have a hate on for this film. Thirst is not going to win any awards but, that said, its an enjoyable, fun, sci fi action romp. The casting for this film is on target, the pacing improves as the film progresses and for a relatively low budget film, the special effects are pretty decent. There's also a subtle nod to Aliens II towards the closing scenes, for those paying attention. I was never bored watching this flick. Its a great one for a wet Saturday or Sunday indoors with chips, dip and few beers. Seriously, ignore the detractors and give it a go. Seven out of ten from me.
This Won't Quench Your Film Thirst
What would you get if you take the creature from Alien and give it A Terminator skeleton well other than a lawsuit from James Cameron you get this metal alien. This alien crashes into earth and starts feeding on some young adults in a second chance rehab program in a remote area. One by one they get picked off until they decide to fight back. This one is more action than horror. Looks like they had a decent budget though. The characters are paper thin. I just watched it and I can't remember them. Nothing new or original here. They couldn't even pick an original title!
The clichés are strong with this one.
I wish I could have given this movie more stars as there were some definite highlights, but too many clichés to rank it higher. Now I know that the film was low budget, but the things that took away from the movie were things that don't require money to improve on. A little more creativity would have saved this movie. The effects were good; some really great explosions mixed with some cool looking wounds & kill scenes. The biomech alien looked really cool, and I loved it's teeth! The acting was also good, with the exception of one character (the asshole was just terrible)& the script was decent, not too many lame one liners or anything like that. The action and pacing were also really well done. Overdone stereotypical personalities; beer-guzzling hick, geek, smart-ass jerk, come-into your own hero, even down to the token black character made this movie less interesting than it could have been. The Alien was (of course) feeding itself & it's baby, survived a bunch of things that should have killed it & then died by something a little less spectacular but also not anything new for this genre of movie. There was also, not once but twice, the extremely over used (and now eye-rolling bad) 'the car won't start' shtick. Overall it was pretty good and I had fun watching it. I wouldn't say to avoid it, especially if you're a fan of horror/sci-fi. It definitely has some really good moments. You have to just enjoy it for what it is and not expect it to be an awards contender.
