Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hunger is a British horror 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.Dr. Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon), a researcher in premature aging, is contacted by John Blaylock (David Bowie), who is in fact the immortal companion of the beautiful vampire Miriam (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... | |

Asshole Victim: John doesn't deserve what he gets, but he isn't exactly the nicest guy, what with being a murderous vampire and all. | |

The Beautiful Elite | |
| The Hunger / int_a2484b0e | comment |
The Beautiful Elite: Miriam and John, but they avert Beauty Equals Goodness. (The novel goes a step further, revealing that Miriam is part of an Inhumanly Beautiful Race and has to tone down her beauty to walk amongst humans- though she also has to wear a wig, as her own hair is short, scanty fluff.) | |

And I Must Scream | |
| The Hunger / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: The fate of Miriam's companions, John included, is to be shut in coffins as their bodies age and become more and more frail but never actually die. Miriam is strongly implied to be condemned to the same fate at the end of the movie when we're shown a coffin, presumably somewhere in the bowels of Sarah's apartment in Rome, and we hear Miriam's voice calling out for Sarah. | |
