This movie once again proves that Chan-Wook Park is one of the most interesting directors from the East. This is one of the most original, disturbing, sexy and somewhat funny vampire movies I have seen in a while. It's not for eveyone, but if you like Vampire movies, or Korean movies, it's well worth the watch. If you are interested in the director, definately check out his masterpiece, Old Boy.

this started off really well, if a little slow. I really got a sense of the priests struggle, then about half way through it just went off the rails. enjoyable but a little long
