A slick, largely empty visual exercise with vague thematic overtones about a clash between American and European culture.

The obsessive conjunction of lesbian sex and flowing blood suggests a deep-seated misogyny, but neither this nor any other theme is registered with enough clarity to offend.

Vampire movies were always cool, but it took The Hunger to make them modern.

Bloody lesbian-vampire story is stylish, but no Twilight.

More style than substance, and perhaps simply an excuse to get Denueve and Susan Sarandon, Miriam's post-Bowie love, in bed together.

As good a horror film in the most pure, rarefied sense of "horror" that the '80s produced in English.

Visual sensualities will have a feast, but you'll have to read Whitley Strieber's novel if you don't want to emerge with a badly scratched head.
