Kixoween Movie Nights: The Hunger

Before he changed the world of blockbusters as we know it with Top Gun, Tony Scott made his blisteringly stylish and unashamedly sensual debut with this vampire love-triangle fantasia that wears its gothic bonafides firmly on its rigidly shoulder-padded sleeve.

(I mean, Bauhaus themselves appear in the opening scene, with Peter Murphy bellowing out Bela Lugosi’s Dead straight at the audience)

Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie channel the sexiest possible version of the, “My girlfriend and I saw you from across the bar and were really digging your vibe. Can we buy you a drink?” lifestyle as they inveigle the fatally curious scientist Sarah (Susan Sarandon) into their thrall.

Yes, it’s totally style over substance. But by the gods… what style!

So pick a drink, head on upstairs and submit to the gorgeously rendered guilty pleasures that are about to unspool before you.
