Director: Tony Scott
Stars: Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, Susan Sarandon
David Bowie was a versatile actor as well as a musical genius, and Scott’s horror-romance is a worthy and highly entertaining vehicle for his talents.
As the lover of vampire Miriam (Deneuve), John (Bowie) expects immortality – so is shocked when he suddenly ages. His gerontologist Sarah (Sarandon) is sceptical at first, but then finds herself drawn under Miriam’s spell…
The title sequence alone – intercut with Bauhaus’s Bela Lugosi’s Dead – is worth the price of a ticket.
Our Hallowe’en screening will also include a selection of 1980s horror trailers!
The original (1983) Review from The New York Times can be seen: here,
