This limited edition release features a hard slip cover and exclusive 80-page book with a new essay by Diane A Rodgers, exclusive extracts from producer Antony I Ginnane’s unpublished memoirs, archival interviews with actors Chantal Contouri, David Hemmings and Henry Silva, and film credits.
Chantal Contouri (Snapshot), David Hemmings (Harlequin), and Henry Silva (The Tall T) star in Thirst, a shocking fusion of horror and science fiction from legendary Australian producer Antony I Ginnane (Patrick).
A sinister organisation known as the Brotherhood kidnaps Kate (Contouri), believing her to be the descendant of Countess Báthory, the Hungarian noblewoman who reputedly had vampiric tendencies. A battle of wills ensues as the Brotherhood tries to force the horrified Kate to join their blood-drinking sacrificial cult. Only Dr Fraser (Hemmings) is willing to help her...
Directed by Rod Hardy (Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and with a score by Brian May (Mad Max), Thirst is a classic of Ozploitation cinema.
