“Thirst” (** out of four) was a dehydrated knockoff of “The Hills Have Eyes” and “Aliens” about a group of teens (John Redlinger, Jes Macallan, Karl Makinen and others) who arrive at a desert boot camp which is remote and cut off from society and they are soon stalked and besieged by a man-eating monster who preys upon humans to live. Derivative movie moves fast enough but pretty soon- you may find yourself rooting for the monster to put all of the cast out of their misery. One chilling scene aboard a helicopter towards the end is the only real scare in the movie.
