The Addiction (1995)

from Crit Club Hosted by Crit Club

October might be done with us, but we’re not done with October. This week, the Crit Club is clinging on to the last vestiges of spookiness with Abel Ferrara’s 1995 vampire horror film The Addiction. This heavy film, which uses everyone’s favorite Twilight characters as a metaphor for drug addiction, insists that it has a lot to say about free will, human cruelty, and redemption. Were we drawn into its worldview, or did we kick this film cold turkey. Listen to find out. You can follow the whole of our podcast, aided by ⁠this helpful spreadsheet⁠ which documents the all the scores we gave to the movies we have watched. Next week we'll be watching the 1971 short film Tricia's Wedding. And drop us a line! You can always email us at [email protected] or find us on Instagram or Threads with the handle @critclubpodcast. Crit Club's theme song and art were made by co-host ⁠Peter Allen Clark⁠.
