LevelK shares with Variety the first image from the Icelandic gay vampire movie Thirst, which will World Premiere at the Nordic Film Market of the Goteborg Film Festival.

Thirst, directed by Gaukur Úlfarsson and Steinþór Hróar Steinþórsson, takes place in a small town where evil is lurking around and strange crimes and brutality frequently occur.

“The film follows Hulda, a woman who is suspected of being responsible for the death of her brother and is being investigated by the police. After being released from custody due to insufficient evidence, she has nowhere to turn to.

“Lingering around in the cold, she befriends an elderly man who turns out to be a 1,000-year old, single and gay vampire who brings her brother to life, leading to terrible consequences.”

“Thirst is totally unexpected, and one of the most entertaining and lively in-house screenings LevelK has ever had!,” said LevelK’s CEO and managing director Tine Klint.

The film is headlined by Hjörtur Sævar Steinason and cameos from well-known Icelandic actors, including Ingvar E. Sigurdsson (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald), Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir and Ólafía Hrönn Jónsdóttir (“Black Mirror”).

The Nordic Film Market runs Jan. 30- Feb. 2.
