Thirst: Directed by Greg Kiefer. With John Redlinger, Jes Macallan, Karl Makinen, Clare Niederpruem. When a group of wayward teens arrive at a desert boot camp, with no communication, and nowhere to run to, they realize their only chance for survival is to fight for their lives.

“Flicking through the channels last night landed me with this film: a low-budget action horror with the usual bad acting and bad script.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYet I somehow watched it all, and by the end I wondered if Iu0026#39;d nearly enjoyed it? Yes the pacing was atrociously slow, the premise has been done to death, but the stupid actions of the characters made me laugh. I also laughed at how often the actors got their cue wrong.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the monster stole the show. The director clearly wanted this thing to be a splice of everything – an alien queen, a cyborg, a dinosaur, a centaur… it was such a muddled mess of ideas (it almost reminded me of Cartmanu0026#39;s Scuzzlebutt creation). It also appears to have ninja-like stealth abilities, despite being a huge noisy, clunking, clangy machine-thing, because it can literally show up anywhere at any time and the characters only realise it is present thanks to electrical interference of a radio they carry.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo yeah, a totally garbage film that somehow manages to entertain.”
