The Hunger Reviews

(OK) One the most interesting vampire deviation. Great trio Deneuve, Bowie, Sarandon. More elegance than gore. The best of Tony Scott

I wanted to watch this flick for so many years and I was really glad when I finally managed to get my hands on it. Indeed, it is a really intriguing flick and for many reasons. First of all, it was Tony Scott’s directing debut and the weirdest and most interesting thing about this flick is that it has absolutely nothing to do with anything else Tony Scott has done afterwards. Indeed, Tony Scott has made mostly solid action movies throughout his whole career but his debut was definitely something quite different. As a matter of fact, it is actually one of the most intriguing vampire films ever made, with some rather steamy sex scenes with 2 giants, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon. To make things even cooler, you even have David Bowie starring as a vampire. To be honest, since it was a directing debut, the narration was sometimes rather weak and the pacing was also rather sluggish so I have to admit that even though it was really intriguing, it was still not entirely successful. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, it is still my favorite movie directed by Tony Scott and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
