Forget about Twilight or that lame True Blood series, this is how vampire should be done! The insanely brilliant opening moments—featuring Bauhaus performing Bela Lugosi’s Dead—from Tony Scott’s 1983 film, The Hunger has lost none of its power over the years. The film stars Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon and if you haven’t seen it, it’s a sexy, smart delight. The unlucky goth chick who is the recipient of Bowie’s vampiric intentions in this scene was played by none other than Dangerous Minds pal, singer/actress Ann Magnuson.

This is one of the great opening scenes of any movie ever made if you ask me. I actually saw this in a theater all by myself—or so I thought—and the effect was electrifying. I was 17 at the time and I’d just gotten massively baked in the parking lot. I walked in, sat down to THIS and just when things calmed down a bit onscreen, I was scared witless by an extremely elderly woman, who had been sleeping two rows in front of me, suddenly darting up and staring straight at me and wagging her finger in my face!
 

Yeah Ann! LOL. Go SJ!

Meh. It was kind of goofy and tedious.

Ms. Magnuson may have been unlucky but Mr. Bowie certainly wasn’t.

David Bowie wants ideas ? Looks like he’s got a few already.

“This is one of the great opening scenes of any movie ever made if you ask me.”

I totally agree with you, Richard.  It’s a ‘classic’ introductory movie montage representing the early ‘80s underground new-ro/punk scenes.

The movie’s overall cinematography is also outstanding… especially the part where Bowie tries to kill the roller skater.  Great sound design for that part as well.
