So many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 1983 (in Canada and the U.S.), The Hunger hungered theatrically at its spot for greatness. Directed by Tony Scott from a story by James Costigan, Michael Thomas, and Whitley Strieber, the Horror starred Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Beth Ehlers, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"The Egyptian vampire lady Miriam (Catherine Deneuve) subsists upon the blood of her lovers. In return, the guys or girls don't age until Miriam has had enough of them. Unfortunately that's currently the case with John (David Bowie), so his life expectancy is less than 24 hours. Desperately he seeks help from, the famous, Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon). She doesn't really believe his story, but becomes curious and contacts Miriam . . . and gets caught in her spell, too."
For the record:
At the 1984 Saturn Awards, The Hunger received nominations in the categories of 'Best Make-Up' and 'Best Costumes.'
