Sensual vampire story stars rock legend David Bowie ("The Man Who Fell to Earth," "The Last Temptation of Christ") as an ailing centuries-old vampire whose fanged-lover, Catherine Deneuve ("Indochine," "Repulsion," "Belle de Jour"), seeks a new partner and seduces a mortal medical researcher (Oscar-winner Susan Sarandon -- "Dead Man Walking," "Stepmom," "The Client"). Directed by block-buster helmer Tony Scott ("Top Gun," "Crimson Tide," "Enemy of the State"). With Dan Hedaya ("Clueless," "The First Wives' Club," "Marvin's Room") and a cameo by Willem Dafoe ("The English Patient," "Platoon," "The Last Temptation of Christ").

A centuries-old vampire capable of bestowing the gift of immortality on her lovers cruises New York nightclubs in search of victims. However, when her current lover ages, it turns out she may not be as generous as it seemed.

Albert Finney ("Miller's Crossing," "Orphans"), Gregory Hines ("Waiting to Exhale," "Running Scared") and Edward James Olmos ("Stand and Deliver," TV's "Miami Vice") star in this eerie and seductive thriller. Finney plays a New York detective pitted against alien beasts of unnatural intelligence and power who are terrorizing the city. Vincent Canby (The New York Times) calls it a "supernatural monster movie of extraordinary stylishness in looks and sounds as well as performances." Featuring the film debuts of Diane Venora ("Heat," "Chicago Hope") and Gregory Hines ("White Nights").
