October 25th: The Hunger, dir. Tony Scott, 1983. (United Kingdom) 4/5 pumpkins


Why the hell did I wait so long to watch this? Staged Bauhaus concert to kick things off, David Bowie, lesbian vamps, absolutely dripping with atmosphere…this film is like catnip to me. It’s also nothing more than a long perfume commercial. Christian Die-or? Charnel No. 5? Dolce Gorebbana? That said, is there any other horror creature with looser rules than vampires? This one doesn’t even bother to explain away its transgressions; all that explanation would just get in the way of the billowing silk curtains and illicit trysts.
