Pros: Stylish to the extreme. Cons: The style often overwhelms the substance.
In retrospect, it's pretty easy to look at Tony Scott's 1983 feature film debut The Hunger as a parable concerning the burgeoning AIDS epidemic. This same sort of revisionist analysis has been applied to John Carpenter's The Thing (released ...
Pros: Some originality Cons: Too much style, not enough substance
The Hunger is an erotic horror movie that puts a new twist on the concept of vampirism. It stars Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve, and David Bowie. This film marks the big screen debut of director Tony Scott, who would three years later go on to ...
Pros: Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon and David Bowie Cons: For me, it seemed dated this time. The book was much better.
When I first saw The Hunger on the big screen shortly after it came out in 1983, I came out of the theater impressed. Catherine Deneuve was radiant (if a vampire can be portrayed that way) and her love interest, Susan Sarandon, was suitably...
Pros: The elegance, the atmosphere, the cinematography, the acting.
Cons: The awful Studio-imposed ending.
Among the 674 films (so far) that have vampires as subject matter, Tony Scott’s The Hunger (1983) distinguishes itself with its romantic, mythic, and erotic atmosphere, and of course the torrid sex scene (at least for the time) involving ...
Pros: Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, sexy, good makeup, haunting soundtrack Cons: changes a lot of vampire mythology, if you don't like lesbian love scenes, skip it
Like many vampire fans, I've seen The Hunger several times since it was released in the early 80's. It's one of the classics, even if it is a bit on the "artsy" side. Not your standard vampire fare, there is something about this film that keeps generati ...
Pros: Direction and acting Cons: none worth mentioning
Susan Sarandon is a scientist studying the effects of aging on the body. David Bowie is afflicted with a disease (it isn't reveled until a little later what it is) that accelerates his aging process. After seeing Sarandon in a television interview, he ...
Pros: Deneuve & Sarandon are sexy; striking
images; erotic love scene, gorgeous
cinematography Cons: Doesn't always make a lot of sense; end
is very, very off center
In 1983 director Tony Scott, a then unknown and brother of
Ridley Scott, teamed with French actress Catherine Deneuve
along with Susan Sarandon, David Bowie, and Cliff de Young
to create a weird, sexy, outlandish, and visually striking...
Pros: Visually exciting Cons: Don't analyze it too closely 'cause it doesn't always make sense
"The Hunger" is a kinky, erotic sexual fantasy set in contemporary New York. Catherine Deneuve plays a cultured vampire whose bite can give her lovers eternal life but, after a few hundred years, they age so dreadfully that they must lie...
Pros: Stylish movie, very hip and trendy for the 80s, interesting plot Cons: Sex scene may not be suitable for younger audience
"The Hunger" is a very stylish and hip movie, typical of the early 80s, with an emphasis on the trends of the time, including the hottest fashions and nightspots of the era. The ambience, entirely retro' by our current new millenium...
Pros: Lesbian Sex, Vampires, beautiful cinematography, great actors Cons: Tough to hear the dialogue at times, and the plot is hard to follow the first time you see it.
I originally saw this movie because I was into Vampire flicks, gay/lesbian/bisexual films and cult movies -- all of which describe this movie very well. The stars of this movie, though, really make this film -- oh, but don't forget the music by Bauhaus...
Pros: David Bowie. Bauhaus. Gothic Nights et al. Cons: To give a "con" to this movie would be a sin!
One cold, and dark winter night, while snowed in and unable to attend my usual friday night festivities at the local Gothic club, I decided to pop in the copy of "The Hunger" that I have had for so many years...
If you love horror films that are original, moody, frightening and leave you with that creeped out feeling long after the credits roll, than you must see "The Hunger". This movie is a gem, because, as most die-hard horror fans know- if you...
Pros: bowie, stylish, original idea Cons: key players die, movie does a total twist.
david bowie is the best in this movie!! There is so much charisma and style. I would recommend it to anyone who loves bowie, loves vampirism (though its not really about vampires), and likes a tragedy.
The spellbinding tale of a vampire couple who suffer from an incessant hunger for human blood, aging quickly when they cannot receive it, and the youn...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
