Tune in as Jameson Pfeifle (@sdfilmthoughts) teams up with Arthur for a review and recap of The Hunger, the 1983 erotic horror film that follows a vampire couple, the accelerated aging that has suddenly plagued one of the partners, and the human gerontologist who gets caught up in their alluring and dark world. The neo-noir layers that are given off by this movie’s heavy atmosphere, playing around with traditional vampire tropes, and a questionable ending that had been jammed in by the studio comprise some of the subjects for this episode.

Directed by Tony Scott, The Hunger stars Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Beth Ehlers, Cliff DeYoung, Dan Hedaya, Rufus Collins, Suzanne Bertish, Willem Dafoe, John Pankow, and James Aubrey.

Spoilers start at 25:15
