The Hunger | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

I found The Hunger eminently watchable but Tony Scott's aesthetics misplaced, to the detriment of the underlying themes.

The film's enduring quality is its ineffable coolness, which feels inextricable from Scott's supposedly lowbrow music video origins.

Moody, elegant, and undeniably cool, The Hunger stands alongside the likes of Daughters of Darkness as one of the best artistic cinematic representations of the vampire ever made.

With style and a proper helping of eroticism and blood, The Hunger gnashes its way by the teeth into that upper echelon, the pantheon of great vampire movies.

We know that the hunger of the title isn’t just a hunger for blood, it’s a hunger to hold on to life, to love, to all of those moments that make us what we are, in that brief period of our lives that we shine, when we are at our best.
