Great, classic flick. Shows us, doesn't tell us. Simple premise, good story, excellent cast, beautifully shot, great music. Old-school effects, too. Nothing cheesy, just simple shots of visceral and horrifying. The make-up is amazing. Bowie, Sarandon, and Deneuve are enthralling. This is the king of modern vampire movies. #thehunger
Thanks for taking me back to my youth. We would go and see this movie at the midnight showings when ever we didn't feel like driving down to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Hunger changed my taste in music and fashion. It might have taken an hour to do my hair but when all your clothes are black it's easy to match. #thehunger
@mekki: I can't take Near Dark seriously anymore after seeing Adrian Pasdar in Profit. God, that show sucked on multiple levels and ruined the film for me. #thehunger
Oh Yes, oh yes, this film was amazing!
First off the Bauhaus intro, OH C'MON, how cool was that? ("I'm dead. I'm dead, I'm dead...) Then there's the Catherine/Sarah licky bits, whoo, whoo! But my fave is David Bowie aging to death in the doctor's waiting room. Frickin' great make-up effects, and who hasn't felt a similar effect in a waiting room? Amirite?
You know, fuck The Hunger. I hate that movie with a burning passion. I mean, in theory it should be awesome. Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie as vampires. Deneuve and Sarandon having a lesbian affair. But dear God, that movie is so fucking boring it makes me want to cry.
*ahem* I have deep feelings about this. #thehunger
@MargaretMoony: let it out. it's okay. I always thought, man, this should move faster than it is especially considering how fast Tony Scott's later films are, snap cuts and what nots but...I agree, The Hunger is a one time viewing movie... #thehunger
@MargaretMoony: Generally agreed, but the film also introduced me to Bauhaus and Ann Magnuson (the redhead victim of David Bowie in that scene) so it'll always have a place in my heart. #thehunger
@MargaretMoony: I am so glad that I am not alone. I love vampire films and 80's vampire films were the best. (Near Dark, Vamp, Lost Boys, Fright Night? Yes, please!) But The Hunger was so dull that I kept on nodding off whenever I tried to watch it. And I tried several times since it has received so much praise. The only thing I like and will forever be in debt to it is for introducing me to Bauhaus. A band which is in top five all time favorites. #thehunger
Really fun video, it had me smiling the whole time and the "bad superman" and Michael Hogan parts cracked me up. I definitely got the "being there" feeling.
