Genre:

Sang-hyun is a priest who cherishes life; so much so, that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But, the virus takes the priest, and a blood transfusion is urgently ordered up for him. The blood he receives is infected, so Sang-hyun lives -- but now exists as a vampire. Struggling with his newfound carnal desire for blood, Sang-hyun's faith is further strained when a childhood friend's wife, Tae-ju, comes to him asking for his help in escaping her life. Sang-hyun soon plunges into a world of sensual pleasures, finding himself on intimate terms with the Seven Deadly Sins.

    'Not another vampire film' you might say but just think Let the right one in, not Twilight. This could be one of the films of the year. Now in saying that for the puritans the story does have a number of plot holes and if you're use to hollywood fast pace story telling you might find the movie a little long. But the Koreans have a knack of taking their time to tell a story and this slow pace suits the movie. With an interesting twist on the usual vampire narrative, a dark yet comic script, this thicks all the boxes for a quality entertaining cinema experience.
