Even for an arthouse vampire film, it’s pretentious, and that’s quite an achievement. Existentialism abounds but substance (no pun intended) does not.

Good for audio sampling though.

_Final rating:★★½ – Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._

Review By: Gimly

The Addiction is one of the more thoughtful films about vampirism available today.

While the film is incredibly thoughtful, with loads of subtext at every corner, it borders, and sometimes crosses into, pretention. There are times where the narration is attempting to add subtext, but it’s so heavy-handed that the film loses sight of the fact it’s a horror film. I’d argue it’s thought piece first and horror film second, honestly. Maybe that makes it even more frightening.

Christopher Walken is wonderful, and Lili Taylor does a fine job, as well. The choice to shoot the film in black and white was a great idea, as well. There’s a real focus placed on the ideas the film is pursuing.

Even though the subject of the horror in this film are vampires, the movie is truly describing humanity.

Black & White – 7 (worth the time)
I haven’t seen THE ADDICTION in ten years, but I do recommend it from what I remember. And the list of attractive concepts are, envelope please: Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken, Anabella Sciorra, black and white meta-fictional film, and of course vampires galore! Abel Ferrara has directed other well known movies such as Bad Lieutenant, California, and the Funeral. Of these movies, I mildly recommend the first two but definitely not the third. The Funeral is plain boring and dreary, while the other two entertain by showing the gritty side of human nature.

Caution, if you’re the type of vampire fan who must have each actor decked out in fangs and yellow contacts, then steer clear of this movie, since it’s really questionable whether the characters in THE ADDICTION are actually vampires or are just plain junkies in nice clothes.

Lastly, there is a very complex philosophical feel to THE ADDICTION, as Lili Taylor muses about life and death in deep conversations in different venues around New York City: a college book store, movie theater, etc. I recommend any philosopher out there to grab THE ADDICTION off the shelves as soon as possible.

Speaking of the mid-90’s, that short-lived era was a golden age for indie actors like Lili Taylor and Parker Posey. Taylor got a taste of vampire-hood early on in this movie, and fortunately for us, and for the committee, Posey got her fangs in Blade 3, which I was very happy to see happen. I mean, come on, all those party girls are really vampires at heart.

Boring nonsense.
The Addiction is set in New York city where anthropology student Kathleen Conklin (Lili Taylor) is bitten by a Vampire called Casanova (Annabella Sciorra) one night & turns into one herself. Kathleen craves blood to satisfy her addiction & there are plenty of unwilling donors walking around the streets of New York…

This American Argentinian co-production was directed by Abel Ferrara & I personally hated every dull second of it. The script by Nicholas St. John is basically a metaphor for drug addiction, the way Kathleen craves blood & will do anything to get it, the way she ends up in hospital with blood pouring from her mouth which I suppose could be seen as the Vampire equivalent of vomit. To my mind I found it incredibly dull & boring, when I watch a film all I want is to be entertained & The Addiction fails in that simple task spectacularly. Sure there are plenty of great films out there with strong messages, Trainspotting (1996) for one which as it happens also deals with drugs, so why can’t The Addiction be both entertaining & have a meaning? I don’t know…

Director Ferrara films in black and white for absolutely no reason that I can think of, seriously why was The Addiction shot like this? There’s no real style or particularly strong use of light & shadow so all I can think of is that the filmmakers thought it would look more arty, or something like that. Forget about decent blood or gore, there’s some fake blood splashed around but nothing graphic.

Apparently shot in twenty days technically The Addiction is alright although the black and white cinematography did nothing for me. The acting was OK, Christopher Walken fans should be aware that despite his near top-billing in the credits he has nothing more than a cameo.

The Addiction may appeal to some upper class film critics who think they can see lots of meaningful moral messages in it, personally I thought it was crap & nearly put me to sleep. Did nothing for me at all I’m afraid.
