Reviews for The Hunger
More style than substance, and perhaps simply an excuse to get Denueve and Susan Sarandon, Miriam's post-Bowie love, in bed together.

Director Scott spends more time on the visuals than plot and character development, so don't expect to understand much, but do enjoy the luxurious interior decor and eye-candy sunsets.

The obsessive conjunction of lesbian sex and flowing blood suggests a deep-seated misogyny, but neither this nor any other theme is registered with enough clarity to offend.

Top CriticThe Hunger is an agonizingly bad vampire movie, circling around an exquisitely effective sex scene. Sorry, but that's the way it is, and your reporter has to be honest.

Deneuve and Sarandon are something else.

Half silly, half sexy. And mostly boring.

Tepid vampire fare is really notable only for being Tony Scott's first major movie and for its steamy love scene between Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.

"influential Goth/lesbian/vampire love story"
07/29/02
A fine example of style over substance -- but the style is so good that it rarely matters.
10/20/07
Slick, but superficial vampire flick that finally collapses on itself.
03/19/03
The movie reeks with chic, but never, for one minute, takes itself too seriously, nor does it ever slop over into camp.
08/30/04
The Hunger left me craving for a more filling movie.

The focus of Hunger is emphatically the death of Bobby Sands, specifically, what happens to his body, viewed from a tragic outside and, to an imaginative extent, a determined inside.
