## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great classic
*by M***N on 15 March 2025*

Another David Bowie classic. Creepy thriller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finest Vampire Film since 'Nosferatu'
*by R***R on 17 October 2012*

As a devotee of quality Vampire literature and film (I'm nearly 50 now and have been fascinated by the mythology of the revenant since I was around 8), I'm confident to say that this is the finest Vampire film I've ever seen, the only runner up being 'Martin' by George Romero. Until someone of the directorial ability of Cronenberg, Kubrick or Roeg makes movies of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's 'Hotel Transylvania'(or any of her stunning Le Comte De Saint-Germain novels) and Suzy McKee Charnas' 'The Vampire Tapestry', this adaptation of the eponymous novel by Whitley Strieber will remain unchallenged. What amazes me most, though, is how many young Vampire fans - even Goths in thier mid-twenties - have NEVER seen this fine feature.I invoke literature here, as anyone who understands narrative knows, novelists are more often than not superior writers to those who focus on screenplays. And the old cliche that 'but that won't work in a film' is simply nonsense. Why can't a film be plotted like a novel? It's still narrative. Film-makers are often constrained by commercial concerns of second and third parties in a way that novelists are less victim to. And don't give me 'the director's vision' - yes, it's vital, but the vision comes from the ideas seeded in the narrative created by the WRITER.Strieber is not the finest prose stylist in history - he is instead, a master of bestseller style writing, in the manner of King, Dan Simmons, George R R Martin and the like, but he is better at reaching into the soul and stirring emotions than King and less workmanlike that Simmons at his best. 'The Hunger' stands alongside the novels I've mentioned (and 'Live Girls' by Ray Garton) as one of the best post-Matheson Vampire novels ('I am Legend'). It has every human emotion in it - love, lust, fear, anger, despair, joy, elation, hatred, greed, guilt, shame and so on - and is a very exciting read, even for those used to high literary modernism and the classics. It's brilliantly told and less breathlessly camp than the work of Anne Rice (don't get me wrong, 'Interviw with the Vampire' is superb, a work of genius) and its historical flashbacks rival Yarbro's Saint-Germain books too, especially 'Out of the House of Life'.Scott does a fine job with the adaptation he directs, which is stylised, Romantic (note large R), sexy and tragic...and frightening. His 80s high budget approach graced the Tv ads of the time - this was an opulent decade in the media of course and visually his technique makes me think of a soft-filtered Michael Mann (Scott understood buildings, for example). In this film, he rivals the two great SF works of his brother Riddley ('Alien' and 'Blade Runner'). The opening sequence, with Bowie and Deneuve in a club, picking up a couple of young postpunks while Bauhaus play 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' in a cage is both postmodern and classical and timeless (somehow), the shots of Bowie parting the girls' stockinged thighs, the flashes of a subway train in motion, Deneuve's leather military cap, spandex...perfect. Call yourself a Fangbanger or a Goth? You MUST see this...The transfer is very good in my opinion - I always thought the film was very mistily shot, but that was just my VHS, so I can't wait for a decent BluRay version. Aside from all the vampire stuff, if you love 80s Horror (and the early part of that decade was a golden age for fright films), you must buy this.Incidental music is very good - plus the appearance of Iggy Pop/David Bowie's 'Funtime' from "The Idiot" works well ('last night I was down in the lab/talkin' to Dracula and his crew,'). The cast are all superb - Bowie is always excellent when properly cast (as he is here), Deneuve is as icy and impeccable as ever and Sarandon sparkles. If only Neil Jordan had been able to cast 'Interview with the Vampire' as well as this - Cruise, Pitt, Slater have their merits, but are too Hollywood for a truly authentic vampire film to my way of thinking (plus, Lestat is blonde, is he not?).So here's your viewing/reading list : this film and the book it derives from, 'Martin' by Romero, the novels of Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Suzy McKee Charnas and 'Live Girls' by Ray Garton. I'm assuming you've tackled Stoker, Byron, Polidori, LeFanu,Rice...get this under your belt, then get back to 'True Blood'(which is fun, but only ever approaches art in the tender moments between Sookie and Bill in season 1). Did you think all this Buffy/'Twilight'/Laurel K Hamilton stuff was new? Which reminds me, read 'Sunglasses After Dark' by Nancy Collins if you want to cover the original female vampire hunter.A great, great film that every lover of the living dead must own. Totally authentic and no silly, speedy special effects.
