Line 1: {{work\|wppage=The Hunger (1983 film)}} ''[['''The Hunger]]''''' is a British film from 1983, the first to be directed by Tony Scott. The screenplay was written by Ivan Davis and Micheal Thomas, and adapted from Whitley Strieber's novel. [[Susan Sarandon]] plays Dr. Sarah Roberts, a researcher in premature aging who is contacted by John Blaylock ([[David Bowie]]) who is in fact the immortal companion of Miriam, a beautiful vampire played by [[Catherine Deneuve]]. John was led to believe that he and Miriam would share a life of eternal youth when they met in the 18th Century and is most distressed by the fact that his body is suddenly deteriorating. Miriam, however, has known for some time that she needs a replacement companion. And Sarah is about to walk through the door... Not to be confused with [[The Hunger (Strieber novel)\|the 1981 vampire novel]] or [[The Hunger (Katsu novel)\|the 2018 psychological horror novel]] of the same name. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * {{spoiler\|[[And I Must Scream]]: The fate of John and all Miriam's other companions is to be shut in coffins as their bodies age and become more and more frail but never actually die. At the end, they come after her en masse and manage to perish -- leaving her to experience their former fate for herself.}} * [[Animal Testing]]: Sarah's investigations into the effects of premature aging, and methods of prevention, on chimps. * [[Blood Is Squicker in Water]]: Used to great effect, particularly immediately after the opening sequence.
