It's slow and very vibes based. But if you are in the mood for it, it's interesting. And very lesbiany after the David Bowie bits.
#Monsterdon

ooh! just wait a couple years then he'll suddenly turn old and helpless!

Chinese inspector Lestrade is an idiot.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

Was that a coke nail joke? Opium nail? #monsterdon

@trixter The spirit is right 😀

#Monsterdon

Always remember to pluck the bottom of your coffin.
#Monsterdon #MrVampire

this is legit hilarious...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

moar Naruto ninja magic....

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

@diazona #monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

maybe it was a ghost tree...

#WrongFrog ! #monsterdon #MrVampire

I can't believe he killed Hanson.

#monsterdon

Chekov's dolls in the background...

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

hey, he was using Naruto ninja magic!

#monsterdon #MrVampire #wrongHunger

So she was an emotional vampire as well as being a literal vampire

#Monsterdon

I feel like we switched from one movie where I had no clue what on earth was going on because it was trying too hard to be artistic to another where I have no clue what on earth is going on because it keeps digressing into comedic things that have nothing to do with anything.

Where did the jiangshi even go? Aren't we supposed to be concerned about them or something?

#Monsterdon

In my #Letterboxd review I tried not to be too harsh with this one because I thought it was trying to do something interesting as a film, but didn't quite make it fit by the end. https://letterboxd.com/anderson_petaq/film/the-hunger/ #monsterdon

So all David Bowie had to do was stab himself in the neck? Man, he must feel like an idiot!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Miriam was lucky that her Egyptian name was used in the Bible and therefore became recognizable to modern day Americans, she would've had a hard time if it was Hatshepsut or something

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

Thank you @Taweret for hosting, @cherizilla for the bingo, @JoeWynne for the trivia and all you great #Monsterdonians for the fun!

Young David Bowie deserved significantly more screen time is all I'm saying

thank you again @Taweret for hosting! was great seeing this again, especially with this crowd. and thanks @ryan for the stream!

#monsterdon

ive had ten ish minutes to reflect and ive come to the conclusion that this movie was just an excuse to get people with perfect noses to steam up

#Monsterdon

Good job team yet again, that's another movie successfully launched into space. Thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always.

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Well, that wasn't bad, even if the studio-driven ending really screwed it up. The rest was nice tho'.

All atmosphere and not a lot of story, but I can work with that.

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

The moral of the story is that if you move into a nice old house that has a flock of white doves flying wild in the attic you will some day have reason to regret the headache they can bring about #monsterdon

@Violinknitter Yeah. Needed more theramin to be a #monsterdon

Imagining Underworld, but with hopping vampires. #monsterdon

Almost tempted to make Basic Instinct a double feature, but that was enough neon and meaningful looks for one evening

#Monsterdon

i overnapped this afternoon and missed #monsterdon

will have to catch up later :D

While other films had higher run-times, this was the longest ever
#monsterdon

Time to go crawl into my coffin at a reasonable hour.

his teef fell out
#Monsterdon

Thanks for hosting, @Taweret! Who knows how long it would have taken for me to actually watch this one otherwise! (Ok, if I had known Bowie was in it, I would have watched it much sooner.)

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Honestly, I think I would’ve enjoyed this movie a lot more if all the slow high squeals, whistles, and ringing tones hadn’t made half of the movie torture to hear

#Monsterdon

The movie really ended with the pigeons in the moonlit attic. Everything after that was junk. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon

And we're done. All right. Definitely one of the better Monsterdon movies.

@jadebees those pigeons have it all over those lab rats that try to take over the world every night

nobody even knows they're at it and yet

100% success

#monsterdon #TheHunger1983

I still think this was Tony Scott's attempt to do whatever Bladerunner did.

And fail.

#monsterdon #TheHunger

@RobynGoodfellow If it was on cable, they would have edited the fun parts out. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

And they all fucked off into...uh...the curtains, maybe?

I dunno, that was artsy AF and I'm way out of my depth

#Monsterdon

@bstacey It did for me!

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

The ending was weak but I mostly enjoyed the movie.

#Monsterdon

Thank you for fellow #monsterdon peeps for an epic slice of 80s style over substance.

Not a traditional monsterrdon fare, but a fun jaunt down memory lane.

Till next time. Thank you all, and thank you to @Taweret as always
for hosting.

Thanks @Taweret & the #Monsterdon gang, I finally saw The Hunger after (checks watch) 42 years!

Well that movie was definitely 97 minutes. I wasn't really sure why I haven't seen this. I imagine if younger me caught this on cable he probably just kept flipping. Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting. Have a great week Beautiful Mutants! #Monsterdon #TheHunger

@Newpa_Hasai For me it is Altered States.

#Monsterdon

I like that "MONKEY EFFECTS" was one of the main sections of the credits.
#monsterdon

@LuluHelle I think you got it. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

So ends another #Monsterdon with the classic, #TheHunger1983. Our thanks to @Taweret for hosting, and for everyone lurking and posting. And remember #Monsterdoners: If they're wearing an ankh, they ankhn't for you.

@Terencio Vampire rules are super confusing

#Monsterdon

That ending makes no sense at all but I still love this movie. It doesn't have a plot, just vibes #monsterdon #TheHunger

every movie willem dafoe is in is awesome. every single one. #monsterdon

"Under the Skin" comes to mind after this

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon And we end where most Vampire stories begin, a real estate deal. #theHunger1983

ok i am loster than lost now
#Monsterdon

@nev haha I was just thinking about how Steve Martin would liven up this movie

#Monsterdon

Sad Colombo doesn’t get to ask “just one more question” this time

#Monsterdon

"The owners are deceased."

I mean, that's one way to put it.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

Legit cackled out loud at Sitcom Detective showing up at the very end.

#Monsterdon

"Hello!?"
"Hello?"
"I'm looking for a plot... is there a plot in here?
#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
Will you still love me when I'm not longer young and beautiful?

No.

Sorry, Colombo, this time you showed up in the wrong flick

#Monsterdon

All of these exes will fade in time, like ankhs in rain.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger

Columbo is cold on the case.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

This is a movie about the dangers of Lesbianism, cuz lesbians thirst for blood, especially of their former husbands.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

#Monsterdon #TheHunger1983

(and she's still conscious through the whole thing, yikes.)

#monsterdon

FWIW, if you are looking for a reason for anything in this movie to happen.

You're looking in the wrong place.

#monsterdon

The moral of this film is vampires need to form bisexual polycules and not commit serial monotony. #monsterdon

Leonardo DeCaprio's greatest fear. #Monsterdon

Revenge of the Pigeons

#monsterdon

Dusty mummy orgy. Fun. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

#monsterdon ohhh and the stairs make for different weird echo effects! fun!

@Taweret it's the nicotine #monsterdon

maybe keeping all of your exes in the same attic was a bad idea

#monsterdon

I think pretty much everyone was on drugs in the 1980s. #Monsterdon

uh oh a meeting of the exes
awkward af
#Monsterdon

Wow! your pendant looks just like the one in Logan's Run!

#Monsterdon
#TheHunger

#Monsterdon
You will begin to love me as I love you.

Who I just met.

Sorry ma’am, we’re all out of boxes that size.
#Monsterdon

Do not betray David Bowie. It never works out for you if you try.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

We're back in Switzerland! #monsterdon #TheHunger

Is your vampire power excessive reverb? #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Wait what? #monsterdon #TheHunger

all the Exs have risen!

#Monsterdon

Like most things, this movie was good until David bowie died #monsterdon #thehunger1983

she is the worst at keeping pets
the kind who leaves a goldfish on the sofa OUT of the bowl
#Monsterdon

Oh... wait... I get it. This movie is a methaphor (like a metaphor, but with rotten teeth) for being locked up in a box for all eternity and having no clue what is going on in the world. #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Susan Sarandon looks just like my mother in this film.

#Monsterdon
#TheHunger

Forever and ever.

We've been here before, haven't we?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🧛‍♂️ 💞 🧛‍♀️ 💞 🥧 🍩 😱

Too bad these two didn't have a horsie to bond over

The hunger becomes the hungee!!

#Monsterdon

liar liar gusset on fire
#Monsterdon

And later, the pigeon closet. Sorry.

#Monsterdon

Movie, you got like 15 minutes left. Are we going to pull it together for a finale? #Monsterdon #TheHunger

Those little knives are only for fancy vampires.

#Monsterdon

What's a good wine pairing with Juicy Fruit? #Monsterdon

The movie might be getting more dream like? Dangerously dreamlike.
#Monsterdon #TheHunger

By "the hunger" Miriam is referring to the craving one has for The Stuff #monsterdon

We know it’s Wrong because all the Eerie Music Cues are playing

#monsterdon

Mm, you taste like Hardee's

#Monsterdon

@Salty there is that downside... #Monsterdon
