The Thirsting

2006

Watched 11 Dec 2025

This is a very confusing movie that feels like a bunch of different trash stuff jammed together, but you know what, I dug it!

It is truly the poster child for all over the place - sexy Tina Krause nun, Mickey Rooney with a magic watch, gratuitous undressing, weird dreams, S&M, endless crossfading, Lilith myth, etc. I'd be surprised if there was really ever a script or that script was followed, and I am fine with that.

You honestly could have thrown in a Pinhead cameo and convinced me it was one of the very late, very cheap Hellraiser sequels.

Tubi runtime was 3 minutes shorter than IMDb listing, so I wondered if it might be censored, but it didn't seem like it!
