Thirst is a 1979 Australian Sci-Fi Horror film directed by Rod Hardy, starring Chantal Contouri, Max Phipps, Henry Silva, David Hemmings, and Shirley Cameron. Its plot has been described a hybrid of vampire fiction and sci-fi, with Soylent Green as a major influence.The plot revolves around a young woman named Kate Davis (Contouri), who is kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Hyma Brotherhood which claims she is a direct descendant of Elizabeth Báthory and part of an ancient race of vampires. They take her to a compound where they clinically harvest the blood of brainwashed humans. Horrified, Kate refuses to join the Brotherhood, leading them to embark on an effort to slowly break her will in order to indoctrinate her into their ranks. | |
