Review of Thirst (1949) by Jacob P — 10 Jun 2011

Really an entertaining survival thriller.

Nothing scary except the lost hope of making out alive in the baking sun with no water.

Lacey Chabert exhibits great emotion in her acting and her character is thankfully smart, optimistic, caring and non-single minded.

The rest of the cast does ok.

I do like that they actually get into some depth (kinda long) conversations about where they stand given the situation.

The desert serves as the perfect opposite of the freezing terrain or the open ocean.

The environment for once acts as the main antagonist much like 'Frozen'.

These people rely on one another to preserve not only their rations but their means of physical and mental capacity.

You can expect the things you'd face when stranded in the middle of nowhere with the effects of dehyradtion like delusions of grandeur and resorting to the most unimaginable survival tactics.

This indie semi-horro flick is a good one.

Maybe a bit sad towards the end but still not upsetting.
