Though the drinking and transference of blood is still Miriam’s main goal, Scott’s film keeps sex at the forefront of the lives of its undead characters.
The film itself, directed by a young Tony Scott, is ethereal and sexy, but the most memorable scene involves Miriam’s seduction of a doctor named Sarah (Sarandon). The Hunger takes the blood and sex metaphor that runs through every vampire story to the highest level when beautiful vampire Miriam (Deneuve) starts looking for a new lover after her husband John (Bowie) begins to rapidly age. “The timeless beauty of Catharine Deneuve… The cool elegance of David Bowie… The open sexuality of Susan Sarandon.” But what makes a horror movie, or any movie for that matter, sexy? Since it’s quite obvious that different strokes will always appeal to different folks, we complied a list of the 15 Sexiest Horror Movies of All Time, from the sexy slow burn to the downright explicit and the cerebral to the explosive. A number of films in the horror genre managed to infuse sex into the story in a way that worked and created something that could turn audiences on while still giving them the heebie jeebies.Ĭrimson Peak, the latest horror film from Guillermo del Toro, will hopefully continue in this tradition, as the director promises it will be frightening as well as kinky. But that doesn’t mean horror movies can’t actually be sexy. The use of sex and sexuality in horror films is almost as expected as the obligatory love scene in every romantic comedy: we’re just used to it.įor the most part, we are bombarded by films that use nudity and blood as a backdrop for a poorly strung-together storyline, and in many ways, as bait that brings the audience into the theater. Just like every other genre, horror has its tropes, commonly recurring themes or ideas that constantly seem to show up in every movie no matter what.
