Based on the average review of 4.5 stars, I was really hesitant to even watch this, but I like this kind of movie, and have always thought Lacey Chabert was a pretty decent actress. I'm glad I gave it a chance. I thought the character development was nicely done. It wasn't just a survivalist movie with a cast of people you could care less about. I thought it seemed pretty realistic overall, except there were a few obvious errors, such as the lack of sunburn that would have definitely been there after so many days in the hot sun. The twist towards the end, not really a twist, but something I didn't pick up on until it actually presented itself, was genius. Not sure that it is that believable tho, probably the coyote would have gotten to it first. I won't say what it is because I don't want to ruin it for anyone. I would recommend this to anyone, and even say it is probably one of the very best of this type of "stranded in the desert with not enough supplies etc." movies out there.

Obviously, virtually no one has seen this flick because of the over-the-top make-up job the crew did on star Lacey Chabert. Though her face during the final 20 minutes of this movie MAY resemble someone suffering from terminal thirst, it also smacks of a REEFER MADNESS-type PSA depiction of a coed victimized by multiple STDs. To magnify their entertainment snafu, the producers have decided to feature this make-up misfire in ALL their publicity. It's as if someone was hell-bent on cramming an effort titled COLD SORES: THE MOVIE down our throats! Further, word probably got out that there is NO female nudity in this feature. Given the pivotal role Chabert's co-star's Mercedes McNab's fake kazonger plays in THIRST's climax, any right-thinking critic could label this deficiency gratuitous non-nudity. It's probably an indication of exactly how low-budget THIRST actually is that producers withheld the $1,000 or $2,000 topless bonus from McNab (who probably could have used it toward the purchase of better-fitting bolder-holders). That being said, this movie is a must for any fan of 127 HOURS, since it also features a badlands tragedy survivor swilling down her own pee.

This movie is horrible. Horrible weak suburban run of the mill characters, bland chemistry, weak plot, predictable scenario, poor attempt at selling sex filled teen fap bikini crap. This movie is for very young white teenage moronsYou'll know who will live or die in the 1st 5 minutes of the film with its cookie cutter personalities like the blond slut, the cute but borderline bland dark haired good girl, the hero, the jackass, etc...the bland tone of the film looks like old out of focus pictures in your grandmothers photo albums and will make you want to adjust the color temp on your TVThis is total crap...its not even "so bad its good" this movie is just utterly annoying

Despite relying on atmosphere rather than blood and gore, this film does not quench my thirst for a good horror/suspense movie. There may be fine acting, but the film's prone to horriblathermia: Stage 1 - poor characterization; Stage 2 - bland chemistry; Stage 3 - its inability to scare or create feelings of unease; Stage 4 - complete boredom (this is also known as the stage in where there's no hope for this movie now); Stage 5 - predictable ending. The music failed to make it any better. Instead of trying to find a plot (or watch this movie), actually hike through the desert, but bring a lot more water than the idiots in this film did (They only brought 2 bottles, which wasn't very smart).
