Then you should watch Liquid Sky! Super corny but awesome 80’s indie film. Lots of club scenes and lots of 80’s alternative/punk colors and subculture. I love that movie, despite its campiness.
I finally watched this film for the very first time today and I fucking loved it!!!!!! There was nothing quite like this when it came out and it’s a damn shame that it didn’t get more recognition. But it did launch Tony Scott’s career!
I watched it for the first time with my mother. The ending still makes me think of her because we both reacted the same way. We had a very similar taste in films. She also told me those kind of women do exist - the ones who just collect men and use them up, and keep them like trophies in the attick of their past. She taught me to recognise the signs and stay the hell away...
Bowie and Deneuve are meant to be hundreds of years old. At 1:58 they're probably saying "Would you believe the crap they call music these days? It's all just noise, and you can't even hear what they're singing, bloody kids don't know they're born, I miss the war" (etc.).
If you can accept that a film can be completely aesthetics, mood and performances, I think this is absolute aces considering what a treasure we having in Bowie and Deneuve and the X factor of a juicy Susan Sarandon here ...
@@josephkissel6062 I find this film to be very moving also. Its more than style over substance to me, but I can see why people view it that way. The villains are also tragic characters that are deep and well written. Its a film that brings up many emotions to me
Tony Scott’s first film. It is very loosely based off a novel by Whitley Strieber, but the novel and its sequels aren’t very good. The movie is a better version of the story. Miriam is another species, implied to be an alien in the novels. This movie does suffer from style over substance in my opinion, but it is very cool and memorable style.
God, I love that movie. Bauhaus - Bowie - Deneuve - Vampires - perfection. This is the first YT video I've seen without one thumbs down. Oh, I ruined it now.
Tous ceux qui ont vu le film à l'époque ne se sont jamais remis de cette scène... et de la suite sanglante dans la cuisine ! Tout ceci grâce à la formidable tension exprimée dans cette chanson culte... Vive Bauhaus!
Saw this in Roswell, NM the summer between my Jr and Sr year. Changed my life. Made me a fan of the Scott brothers for life. First Ridley with ‘Alien’, then Tony with this. So much talent in one family.
A GEM of a film. Pretty much flawless start to finish in every respect. GRIPES...ummm...I'm struggling to think of any. So well done. The photography, choice of music, casting of actors....story, script.....subject mater....miss the days when Hollywood was creative putting out great films like this one. ANd what's funny is it was directed by tony Scott....Top Gun 1 fame....hehe....of all the directors...seems so "not him"...sad he did what he did.
Saw this in downtown San Francisco long ago drugs then people on real meth, acid, real weed & this opening killed you could feel it there so fn strange best memory ever
Man Oh Man! I stumbled upon two absolutely underrated gems, one I had heard of but never seen, 'The Cat People', could have sworn I saw the film before and the other I'm embarrassed that I had never even heard of, 'The Hunger'. Well well cast a spell, this film is bad azz TCM had these two dandy's going back to back light rolling thunder at like 2:30/3 in the dern AM. Shoot! I thought I wasn't feeling well, was up til 7AM watching these dern films. This is one of best opening scenes I have ever seen. Everything about it pops off the screen with flavor and style. That "Bela Lugosi Is Dead' piece is straight fire 🔥one of the baddest joints ever.
My reaction, upon seeing this scene in 1983, was "I wanna go to THAT club!" We didn't have them in the city where I lived during that decade; when I got to Atlanta in the early 1990s, though, they had plenty of Goth clubs, and I spent the next 10 years going to every one I could find.
Tony Scott! Who’d a thunk it. Started out as directors of ads w/his bro Ridley. The Times said this is what a film would look like if made by Bendels. 😂

I have watched this movies several, I meant about 7 or more times. I only remember Bauhaus and how much Catherine Deneuve was beautiful and was so classy. I always thought Peter Murphy should played the part instead of David Bowie. David Bowie was unconvincing because, even he married a woman in real life, he was to gay. Even if the woman was Catherine Deneuve, the other part was unconvincing too. Because a vampiress wouldn't never fall in love for that flavourless, uncharismatic, actress.
Peter Murphy & Bowie in the same space, a dream
Exactly
I once saw Peter Murphy open for the Church… I could have happily left before the main act.
@freakman153, Absolutely 💯!!! 🫠🥰
Definitely we’re friends
The best opening scene to a film ever
"Definitiv" !!!!!!!
Ever
Seriously, both Bowie and Peter Murphy sharing the screen.
ever
one of the best in movies 80s, convincingly conveys the style of the 1980s
I went to this movie in those days for Bowie and Catherine. Was flabbergasted seeing that it opened with one of my favorite Bauhaus songs.
The most GOTH thing in existence!
Totally agree with you !!!
David Bowie oozes class! Even when he twitches his body it's class, great actor aswel , the man's unbelievable
This was a straight up arthouse movie that somehow managed to rope in MGM.
Reminds me so much of clubs in the 80's.
For sure.

Goodbye, David! We love you.
Bowie is the coolest dude on the planet.

@@OceanPuddle I don't think the same, he never gonna die fella, he never gonna die...
Yes. David Bowie and Peter Murphy "too" !!
Bowie Lives... Near lands end left side walking on Geary look down you will see...
Can’t believe he’s gone 😢
Bowie and Deneuve are meant to be hundreds of years old. At 1:58 they're probably saying "Would you believe the crap they call music these days? It's all just noise, and you can't even hear what they're singing, bloody kids don't know they're born, I miss the war" (etc.).
Catherine is actually thousands of years old ..Bowie is only a couple of hundred years old
A masterpiece. Most underrated film of ALL time!
I didn't think it was that good haha 😆 but I like this part haha

Cannot believe how underrated this movie is! Just based off of story alone!
I'm with you Sue
This was the first movie of the director Tony Scott (RIP).
Pretty good start
when I heard this song as a teen, I thought he was saying, "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead."
when you start repeating it, "dead" turns into "undead"
God, I love that movie. Bauhaus - Bowie - Deneuve - Vampires - perfection. This is the first YT video I've seen without one thumbs down. Oh, I ruined it now.
I am seeing it in Hollywood on Halloween!!
Such an interesting film. Bowie gives a magnificent performance.

But unfortunately the role is not that
big.
@@nart8871 I know. When I first saw it was disappointed.
@@samanthab1923 In my opinion, this is one of the reasons for the movie failure at the box office.

This was actually my introduction to Bauhaus!
Me too 🖤
Same! Big fan ever since.
Mine as well. I had heard OF them, but not heard or seen them until this film.
It gives me the chills until now, i attended their disastrous Athens Greece gig last week, but i still love them.
What happened in Athens?
Is that when Peter walked off stage and the cancelled the show ?
The finest bit of film editing for an opening sequence ever. And it is not close.
to think that i was too young when i saw this movie and didn't even know Bauhaus back then, im dissapointed in myself
Awesome! Best ever vampire movie!
Yes.
This and Only Lovers Left Alive 💙

Best Performance from Bauhaus of Bela 🖤
take me to the late 70s/80s when i wasnt even born
My all time faves
The film, Purple Rain and its beginning seems to have been inspired by this

Two of my top ten films. Both have great soundtracks, beautiful people, odd cameos & just the right amount of melancholy spookiness.

This is closest thing we have to a Bela Legosis Dead music video
The sequence is immortal.
