Film Texts

a)
A centuries-old female vampire gives her lover immortality as the couple carouses around New York nightclubs in search of victims.

b)
Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie are a pair of modern-day vampires on a desperate hunt for fresh blood to survive. The highlight of Tony Scott's stylish film is a hospital waiting room scene where Bowie succumbs to severely accelerated ageing.

c)
Miriam Blaylock collects Renaissance Art, Ancient Egyptian pendants, lovers, souls. Alive and fashionably chic in Manhattan, Miriam is an ageless vampire. "Vampire" is not a word you'll hear in this movie based on the novel by Whitley Strieber (Wolfen). Instead, debuting feature director Tony Scott stakes out a hip, sensual, modern-gothic makeover. Catherine Deneuve radiates macabre elegance as Miriam, blessed with beauty, cursed with bloodlust. David Bowie is cool and refined as husband John. In love, in life, in longing they are inseparable. But when John abruptly begins to age and turns to a geriatrics researcher (Susan Sarandon) for help; Miriam soon eyes the woman as a replacement for John. The Hunger is insatiable.
