Indulge your obsessions... 22 tales of the forbidden and bizarre as seen on Showtime

Terence Stamp hosts the first season of this spine-tingling horror anthology series from Executive Producers Tony and Ridley Scott, which features a phenomenal cast of familiar faces (including Karen Black, Joanna Cassidy, Daniel Craig, Bruce Davison, Giancarlo Esposito, Colin Ferguson, Jason Flemyng, Balthazar Getty, Lena Headey, Margot Kidder, Sally Kirkland, Jason Scott Lee, Chad Lowe, Stephen McHattie and Timothy Spall) as you’ve never seen them before. Inspired by leading genre writers, each episode will draw you into a mesmerizing world of terrifying characters and erotic encounters, where demons feed on the weakness of men and temptation consumes reason.

Not quite what I expected

I expected to see another vampire stories, but it is more like watching Eadgar Allan Poe's tales. Nevertheless, the stories are interesting, short, concise and with a suprising ending. I like them.

X-Files + Boobs = The Hunger

Reviewed by M. Ferguson, 2010-02-06

Each episode of 'The Hunger' is a stand alone episode. Characters and plot lines are introduced and summarized in each 25 to 30 min episode. That seems to be plenty of time to tell a good story, however, and most of the season 1 episodes are entertaining.

They really did remind me of some of my favorite X-Files episodes in their execution. Instead of being from a detectives point of view, this show is told more from the mysterious and supernatural event's point of view.

You'll see some familier faces as each episode seems to feature an actor you've seen in something else. Also, each episode contains some level of boobage. Let's face it, boobs just make everything in life more entertaining.

In conclusion, I would strongly recommend this show to anyone interested in the paranormal, or boobs.

It's not a very bad series but it's not what my wife or I expected it to be! The cover showes vampires and we look at the first two disc and not one vampire to be found! I'm sure once we finish the series we will at lease see one, but the whole point was to see vampires that's why I bought it because the wife likes vampires!!!!

No captions..

It was good overall and I probably should have checked to see if there were subtitles for this which there are obviously none. I am hearing impaired and wish more older shows would have subtitles and the ones on the tv did not work aswell! This is very irritating for me since I would have enjoyed watching this but could not understand anything. oh well its decent though

Not Very Likable

Reviewed by Duane McInerney, 2009-12-09

I have always loved the monster genre, but I cannot seem to get into this anthology. The horrible opening credits combined with the moody Terence Stamp monologues together create a dissonant transition from one story to the next. The stories themselves are okay. The acting in each story seemed fine, but don't buy this because you like one particular actor. Each episode contains a completely new cast.
