The Hunger (TV Series) I'm Dangerous Tonight (1997) User Reviews

an all-right episode with better than usual bookends from Stamp

[movieman_kev · 7/10 · 21 May 2010]

After a demon drops a red cloth through a fashionista's window, she decides to turn it into a dress, which captivates everyone who sees it . But being where said cloth came from, it's not all roses as it also seems to bring out murderous rage in whomever touches it. Bad news for the dress-maker's helper, and sometimes Klepto, Mimi (Marie-Josée Croze) and her no good boyfriend who's running from the law.

This episode is fairly acted, if a tad over-the-top and camp. Perhaps the Tobe Hooper TV film from 1990 which shares it's title with this episode (as this is a shortened, spiced-up version of said movie) is better at the back story, but I enjoyed seeing this version a tad more. Plus you don't get too many chances to see a cross-dressing Terence Stamp whom bookend this episode.

The Red Dress

[claudio_carvalho · 6/10 · 6 October 2021]

In Paris, a demon drops a red fabric in the studio of the fashion designer Madame Moldonado (Dorothée Berryman). When she sees the cloth, she immediately turns the material into a wonderful dress. Her assistant Mimi (Marie-Josée Croze) is in love with her boyfriend Tony (Esai Morales), who is wanted and hunted by the police for killing a police officer, and she likes to "borrow" the expensive dresses from the studio to please Tony before having sex. When she takes the red dress, she alters her senses, and she is cursed and makes all the wrong moves.

"I'm Dangerous Tonight" is another good episode of "The Hunger". However, it is too short for the story and deserved a longer running time for better development of the plot. The beauty of Marie-Josée Croze is a plus in this episode. My vote is six.
