The Addiction

The Addiction (1995)

dir. Abel Ferrara
written by Abel Ferrara and Nicholas St. John

Released nationwide on October 6th, 1995

A late night convo between
Walken and Taylor

From the controversial director Abel Ferrara who brought us the likes of the cult classic Ms. 45 (1981) and the early slasher The Driller Killer (1979) comes this gritty vampire story set in New York City. The film is shot in black and white and was filmed on location in Manhattan, Greenwich Village and at the New York University.

The Addiction stars Lili Taylor, Edie Falco, Christopher Walken and Annabella Sciorra. Both Walken and Sciorra starred together again in Ferrara's Funeral (1996). Walken had previously worked with him in King of New York (1990). The film itself contains allegories to both addiction and religion, both a recurring theme in Ferrara's work and the vampire genre in general. Whenever I think of this movie the scene that comes to mind is a blood orgy near the end of the film where Lili Taylor regurgitates blood after gorging on too many victims only to go right back at it. The excessive bloodiness in the scene is made that much darker by the fact that it is filmed in black and white.
