Icelandic vampire comedy THIRST - Coming to UK Streaming Platforms

Somewhere in the frozen darkness of Reykjavík, something very old and very hungry has been waiting. For a thousand years, Hjörtur has lurked in the shadows — a gay vampire of considerable sass, and very specific appetites…

Meanwhile, Hulda is having the worst week of her life. A drug addict freshly released from police custody following her brother’s suspicious death, she has nowhere to go and no one to turn to — until she meets Hjörtur. In what he almost certainly considers a friendly gesture; the ancient vampire resurrects her dead brother.

It does not go well.

Now the two unlikely companions find themselves on the run — from a fanatical cult in purple tracksuits, a rogue detective, and the steadily mounting consequences of a thousand-year-old monster who simply does not know when to stop. The blood flows freely. The body count rises cheerfully. And somewhere in the neon-lit, gore-soaked chaos, an unlikely friendship is forged.

Some friendships are worth dying for. Repeatedly.

THIRST is a campy horror comedy from Iceland with award-winning special effects and a larger than undead performance from Hjörtur Sævar Steinason as our lovelorn vampire. It’s destined to become a cult classic.
