The film tells a haunting tale of an eternal couple, John and Miriam who suffer from an incessant desire for human flesh. When John quickly deteriorates into a horrible living death, and Miriam sets her sights on Sarah, a lovely young scientist.
The 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.
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.
A film with legendary cast and photograph. Underestimated at the time, but like any other cult movies, was able to find its audience. [Full review in Spanish]
The movie reeks with chic, but never, for one minute, takes itself too seriously, nor does it ever slop over into camp.
