1995 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1995 is...
The Addiction - Abel Ferrara
Ferrara's
The Addiction is one of those niche little indy films that tends to get overlooked, but it is a seriously good film. Shot in black and white it follows the life of a NY grad student as she struggles to come to terms with her new life after getting bit by a vampire.
Ferrara is known for his gritty film-making style, and
The Addiction doesn't disappoint on that front. Both Walken and Taylor are fantastic, and it is certainly one of those films that gives you plenty to think about.
