The opening scene sets the tone for this impeccably stylish, erotic horror as Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie, playing Miriam and John, stalk across the screen accompanied by Bauhaus’ goth-rock track ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’. The Hunger focuses on Miriam’s doomed vampiric romances, including one with a sceptical scientist (Sarandon), who becomes the latest subject of Miriam’s primal passion.
