StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Junker-2 Oh, my. Where to begin? Lacey Chabert is not only the star of this movie but is listed as one of the executive producers as well. That leads me to surmise that this film was intended, at least in part, to showcase Lacey's talents and get Hollywood to view her as a serious actress. If so, the effort backfires.In order for this premise (stuck in the middle of a desert with very few provisions) to work at all the characters have to make some pretty stupid mistakes. And our characters do. Driving 80 miles into the desert without any sort of backup plan in case of car trouble is, in fact, beyond stupid. As the movie and the stupid decisions continue it becomes increasingly hard to either believe the story or feel any sympathy for the characters.Thank God for Noelle (the lovely Lacey)! She is cast as a Captain Kirk here, keeping her cool while the others around her are losing theirs. But her hero status is all too clearly a plot device, again, to showcase her "talents." At one point Lacey performs emergency brain surgery using s screwdriver and a rock. I kid you not! She can do this, but she isn't smart enough to realize they should travel at night and stick to the road!As a person who rarely laughs out loud even at things that are supposed to be funny, I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of the plot twists. (Did someone mention breast implants?) Of course, the movie also has to show us several "gross out" scenes for seemingly no other purpose than to get some junior high viewers to say "Oh! Gross!" Not only do we get to watch characters drink their own urine, we have to watch them take in every last drop. "Ewwww! Gross!"Need I say more? This is a really bad movie with only one redeeming feature: The lovely Lacey Chabert who I have always liked in the past. "Thirst", however, is probably the biggest misstep in Lacey's career.

Film Watchin Fool Watch this if...there are no other viable options for a struggle and survival movie. They are many better crafted and acted movies surrounding this theme available before you get to this point.Acting/Casting: 3* - This grade should be expected considering Chabert is your headliner. She is a beautiful specimen and that is her strongest/carrying asset. Brandon Quinn is downright aggravating at times and difficult to watch. Again, this is no surprise going into the movie.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 5* - The setting is nice and the desert is convincing. While the overall directing isn't great, I feel that you do actually get a bit of the despair that these individuals are experiencing. This is also no surprise considering Lando is an aspiring B-movie director.Plot/Characters: 5* - The plot is nothing new, but survival is always an intriguing theme. If you watch the movie, you will note that there are a few questionable areas in the film. With a plot like this one, you really have to have some solid acting and directing to make it worthwhile.Entertainment Value: 3* - The acting coupled with the fact that there are a few moments that noticeably drag, really diminish the entertainment value of the movie. I have seen worse, but I have seen many better. One watch is enough and probably too much.My Score: 3+5+5+3 = 16/4 = 4.0Email your thoughts to [email protected]

xpoondiggy This movie is horrible. Horrible weak suburban run of the mill characters, bland chemistry, weak plot, predictable scenario, poor attempt at selling sex filled teen fap bikini crap. This movie is for very young white teenage moronsYou'll know who will live or die in the 1st 5 minutes of the film with its cookie cutter personalities like the blond slut, the cute but borderline bland dark haired good girl, the hero, the jackass, etc...the bland tone of the film looks like old out of focus pictures in your grandmothers photo albums and will make you want to adjust the color temp on your TVThis is total crap...its not even "so bad its good" this movie is just utterly annoying

mothtoflame I found "Thirst" to be a lovely little film that I doubt most people will see. Flipping through Jeffery Scott Lando's other films, I'm afraid I haven't seen any of his previous work, but being a fan of all things Buffy-related when I saw Mercedes McNab was in the cast I scooped it up without a second thought. I wasn't disappointed. With breathtaking, oppressive scenery the movie creates a sense of despair mingling nicely the backdrop of the film with the inner turmoil of the lead couple's relationship. The movie reminded of films like "Open Water" and other man vs. the natural world themed films.I liked three out of four of the cast. Mercedes McNab did a good job with a relatively standard character in Jennifer. Lacey Chabert seemed well suited to the roll of Noelle, and ultimately showed the most emotion in the film. Bandon Quinn seemed to suit his character of Tyson quite well alternately making me dislike and root for him and wasn't bad to look at either. However, Tygh Runyan's portrayal of Bryon seemed emotionless and out of sync with the rest of the cast. Whether this was due to a character I genuinely didn't like or to the actor's performance I'm not sure, since I haven't seen Runyan in any other roles.As the four, two couples, struggle onward through the desert the plot increasingly revolves less around the characters interactions and more around the dangers that the desert presents. I would have liked to see a bit less of people protesting that they couldn't go onward and a bit more desert danger. Lacey Charbert's character came off as a bit of a know it all, a limitless source of information and the hero of near every scene while the men came off as a bit whiny and rather useless and the ending hit full throttle suddenly and just slammed through a scene that could have built a good long bit of hopelessness.On the whole though, if you like the 'stranded and must survive' style films you'll probably like it, if you don't it'll probably drag.
