The Hunger: Midnight Feast

A fanvid for the 1983 movie The Hunger, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon.
Set to the song "Midnight Feast" by the late Lal Waterson.

"Aren't you just ravenous,
For a midnight feast?
A drooling moon is shining down
On us, at the end of the street.

Damned if I do, my love,
Damned if I don't, my sweet.
Dare I declare this morning love
turned evening deep?

Hi, Stepha:

The name of the song is "Midnight Feast" by the late British folksinger and songwriter Lal Waterson, from her 1996 album "Once in a Blue Moon".

I have to say that the Lal Waterson folk song works surprisingly well with the clips you chose from "The Hunger". I think it lent an extra bit of depth to the vid and helped create the right mood for the story you were telling. I love the way you slowed down certain clips to match the tempo of the song and add more emotional resonance. And I think the repeated "Damned if I do" lines really help get the idea across that the Catherine Deneuve character is trapped in this kind of endless cycle.

Thanks, Rusty! I think the lyrics of the song lend themselves well to a vampiric reading. And the imagery of the movie is really beautiful to work with.

I was surprised how the clips and song worked so well together. Duh, it's the editing lady! Nice one!

I have to say... I prefer the Schubert, Ravel and Bach that was used on the original film soundtrack. This music is at odds with the visual aesthetic of this fine film.

@Johnlindsey289 Perhaps because the vampires of Twilight are inspired by these ones and some similar creatures?

[Johnlindsey289]

Great movie but anyone thinks the vampires in this movie are almost the same kind of vampires from Twilight? i mean they both have no fangs as they drink blood from animals and humans, both are beautiful new age people, both can walk in the daylight without being killed etc. ONLY one difference, the ones in this movie don't sparkle in the sunlight. How come? is it because they are Egyptian?
