Thirst (I) (2010 Video)
6/10
Ghost Wolf
25 June 2010
**SPOILERS** Filmed in the North Thompson desert region of British Columbia the movie "Thrist" takes place in the space of less then a week involving two couples who got themselves lost in the desert when their van was forced off the road in it avoiding a wolf who just happened to get in it's path.

Suffering from a saver concussion in the accident fashion model Atheria, Marcedes McNab, later dies from a cerebral hemorrhage despite the heroic efforts by her friend Noelle, Lacey Chabert, to save her life. Stuck in the middle on nowhere with the nearest sign of civilization at least 50 miles away Noelle and her boyfriend Bryan, Tygh Runyan, and fashion photographer Tyson, Brandon Quinn, have their work cut out for them with the dry heat of the desert, reaching over 110 degrees, and lack of water sapping them of their strength as well as lives!

The film "Thirst" shows just how desperate people will get in order to prevent themselves from slowly dying of thirst. Even go as far as drinking their own bodily fluids, including their own blood, as well as the fluids of animals, like rattlesnakes, that they kill in order to survive. There's also the mysterious and ghostly wolf, the one that caused the accident, who's always following the trio all throughout the movie as if to guide them back to civilization.***SPOILERS** It later becomes apparent that this ghost wolf is not real but a figment of Noelle's imagination in her being the only person able to see him.

As the movie goes on both Bryan & Tyson soon get poisoned by drinking infected, with arsenic, water that they came across coming out of from a desert spring. Tyson who just about gave up being rescued, with his girlfriend Atheria dead, slowly went into convulsions and died before help could arrive. It was Bryan, who didn't want the suffer the same fate that Tyson did, who cut his throat with a razor blade to spear him from any farther suffering. Yet at the same leaving Noelle all on her own in the unfriendly desert.

***SPOILER*** It was the ghost wolf who in the end lead Noelle to safety by guiding her to a nearby desert road where she was rescued by a park ranger. That just when a cloud burst happened and she got drenched with a downpour of life giving, and saving, rain!
