The Hunger was Tony -less talented brother of Ridley- Scott's directorial debut and is an arty vampire film in which an ageless bisexual female Miriam preys on humans , selecting a chosen few to be her consorts though they suffer rapid ageing then eternal decrepitude when their time is done. David Bowie plays her latest victim John and she plans to replace him with a female companion. It does have its moments but otherwise it's too slow and pretentious.
