I foolishly turned this off on my (sort of) first viewing of this film. I can't remember why, but strike me down because this was amazing. I tend to stray away from fantatically films such as these, prefering more rooted films. However, this was an excellent potrayal of the vampire genre. Anyone into vampires must take a peek at Park Chan-wook's work of art. Both sides of the vampire spectrum - the caring, hummanitarian vampire and the bloodthirsty vampire. Along with other elements such as religious symbolisms, sexual themes, etc, etc.

It was quite a joy to watch Song Kang-ho and Kim Ok-bin's relationship develop from humble priest vampire and opressed housewife to the battle for lust and blood. A seductive game of right and wrong. They blended all the combining themes effortlessly with their chemistry.
