A lot of films deal with the idea of vampires as junkies, but The Thirst is the first one I know of that deals with people in recovery as vampires.Maxx and Lisa are in a twelve step program to deal with their drug addiction when Lisa develops terminal illness. Vampires seek her out as a potential vampire to save and she accepts their offer.
When she does, it's in the classical manner, where she dies and comes back three days later.
It's really a down beat premise, switching one addiction for another, but Matt Keeslar and Clare Kramer manage to pull of young junkies in love pretty good. Jeremy Sisto and Adam Baldwin play vampires that have drawn them into the undead existance.
It's a low budget little movie, but with good enough actors and production values to be reminiscent of Miramax/Dimension movies during the Scream era.
