Thirst Poster Australian Country of origin one sheet.Thirst is a 1979 Australian horror film directed by Rod Hardy and starring Chantal Contouri, Max Phipps and British actor David Hemmings. It has been described as a blend of vampire and science fiction genres, influenced by the 1973 film Soylent Green as well as drawing on the vampire folklore of Elizabeth Báthory – one of several vampire films in the 1970s to do so. This film is notable for its shower scene in blood. The sequence, which overlays Marnie (1964) with the shower scene from Psycho (1960), was dominant in the film's promotional materials, featuring prominently on the film's original theatrical poster (seen in this poster) as well as video covers. Alfred Hitchcock made Psycho (1960) in black-and-white, so he didn't have to show blood. Later, when Hitchcock made Marnie (1964), he placed red filters over some scenes to evoke Marnie's fear of that colour. This film is notable in its deliberate juxtaposition of these two Hitchcockian techniques. Critically the film was highly regarded by influential American film critic Leonard Maltin, who gave it three stars out of four. This film is considered an "Ozploitation" (Australian exploitation) picture.

The film has developed a cult following over time because of the first 20 minutes, now consistently regarded as one of the scariest openings in horror movie history. Carol Kane stated in an interview that while watching the film in the theatre the audience began screaming and talking back to the screen during the opening 20 minutes of the film. The opening sequence was highly influential for the horror genre and was paid homage to in Wes Craven's Scream in the latter film's opening 12 minutes.
