Recovering drug addict Hulda (Hulda Lind Kristinsdóttir) is accused of the murder of overdose of her goodie two-shoes brother (Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson) and held for questioning by shady cop Jens (Jens Jensson) but ultimately let go on lack of evidence. Wandering the city looking for a place to stay, she happens upon vagrant Hjörtur (Hjörtur Sævar Steinason) being badly beaten up by a bunch of thugs and tries to save him - upon which Hjörtur seems to develop superhuman strength and kills the thugs, literally takes them apart, and while getting away stuffs the thugs' dicks into the mouths of the cops arriving on scene. Hulda is hauled back in for questioning, but let go again as there's no way she could have killed the thugs. But Jens decides to keep an eye on her from now on.

Hjörtur crosses Hulda's path again, and even though he quite obviously could have taken out the thugs without her help, he thanks her profusely and offers to share his sleeping quarters with her, humble as they might be. Hulda accepts, even though his "quarters" turn out to be a car parked in the middle of nowhere. Hulda also finds out that Hjörtur is actually a vampire, but since he's gay and would "never touch a lady", as he puts it, she figures she'll be fine. Hjörtur is touched by Hulda's trust and kindness towards him, and thus as a thank you he wants to fulfill her biggest wish, to bring her brother back to life. Only after havign been dead for 5 days, her brother's brain has started to deteriorate, and once revived, he turns into a blood-thirsty beast and soon slips Hjörtur and Hulda's supervision to wreak havoc.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Hjörtur and Hulda, Jens' wife (Ester Sveinbjarnardóttir) and daughter (Birgitta Sigursteinsdóttir) lead a doomsday cult with the mission to call upon and destroy the prince of darkness, who just happens to be Hjörtur, but for that they need a human sacrifice as bait - and who better to use than Hulda ...

In essence, Thirst is a movie not to be taken terribly seriously, it's an over-the-top gore comedy that treats one to shocks and funny bits in equal parts - and while some of the humour is a bit on the crude side, for the most part it works in a party movie sort of way: Sure, the plot's very crazy and not everything makes perfect sense, but that's really part of this film's appeal, the craziness, even if a catalyst for more gore, is actually laugh-inducing, every suspension of disbelief in this movie has its humourous side to it, and there's even comedy in the gore scenes. That said, sure, Thirst is not a film for everyone, but with a group of genre-friendly mates and a few beers, this will seem like near-perfect entertainment.
