Review of The Hunger (1983) by Lee ? — 01 Mar 2011
A Vamp film that refreshingly ignores some of the age old clichés - the word "vampire" isn't even used. It's pretty stylized all the way through and it plays out like a 90 minute music video featuring some mildly bloody moments and soft erotica with Catherine Deneuve's seduction of Susan Sarandon being particularly sexy.
Special mention also to the make-up team who did a remarkable job with the aging prosthetics applied to David Bowie who plays a rapidly aging vampire. I did just find this an 'ok' film though at the end of it all.
A bit slow and boring at times, but it has its moments of interest and it's easy on the eye.
