About The Movie
The Hunger is a 1983 English language horror film. It is the story of a bizarre love triangle between a doctor (Susan Sarandon) who specializes in sleep and aging research, and a stylish vampire couple (Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie).The film is based on the 1981 novel The Hunger by Whitley Strieber, with a screenplay by Ivan Davis and Michael Thomas. The Hunger was director Tony Scott's first feature film. The cinematography was by Stephen Goldblatt.
The Hunger was not particularly well received on its release, and was attacked by many critics for being heavy on atmosphere and visuals but slow on pace and plot. Roger Ebert, for example described it as "an agonizingly bad vampire movie".[1] However, the film soon found a cult following that responded to its dark, glamorous atmosphere. The long Bauhaus song Bela Lugosi's Dead plays over the introductory credits and beginning. The film is popular with some segments of the goth subculture, and spawned the short-lived TV anthology series of the same name.

This is an awesome vampiric movie. I find it very dark, original, and unique. The Gothic Punk music featured in it is fantastic. This movie is a big favorite of mine.

Was Miriam being selfish when she promised immortality?
No. Her lover's got what they bargained for.
Hassen says:
think about the stable scene where it first started W David Bowie.... oh ,yeah... he knew he wanted it no matter the course that it lead to.
Yes. She knew the consequences.
ArdenBaird says:
Would anyone have let her change them if they knew what would happen? I don't think so. A lie of omission certainly.
woodpewee says:
I think she was being selfish. Who would want to be alone for eternity. I do think, however, that she did love each one of her partners. She did go out of her way to find a "cure" for David Bowie's character.
fanfreluche says:
Yes, she did not want to cope with solitude.
She did not care about not telling her lover that it was not really immortality

She was being selfish.
