The Thirsting is a derivation of the Lilith mythos taken from biblical texts. It centers around the story of a nun, Sister Katherine (Tina Krause), who fled to the church seeking comfort from memories of ritualistic abuse as a child in an effort to get her to voluntarily host the spirit of Lilith - Adam's first wife and the mother of all demons.
While supervising a senior college retreat, her students: Mary, Clareese, Michelle, Jackie & Tiffany are given an assignment to research various pagan beliefs and compare them Catholic figures. Despite the efforts of three Arch-Angels:Senoi (Mickey Rooney), Sansenoi and Sammangelof) to warn the girls not toy with the occult, they do.
When the girls accidently summon Lilith - all hell breaks loose. Lilith attacks them in their dreams, in order to consume their souls, turning their secret desires and memories into deadly nightmares as she twists the girls dreamworld into deadly reality.
We are please to announce that "The Thirsting" received "The People Choice Award" at the 2006 Chicago Horror Film Festival.
