This movie was not what I expected it to be. It was kind of like tales from the darkside only stranger.

I bought this set on the reviews I read, I found some of the stories great, some just boring, I think they should have taken out most of the sex scenes and added a little more to the stories, though the stories are good and my wife and I love horror, the sex in every one was getting a little boring, sure leave it in if its part of the story line, but come on, every story, its a good collection though I would not compare it to Tales from The Crypt, give it a look, though the sex might have you switching off half way.

"The Hunger - The Complete First Season" is a collection of 22 uncut episodes from a Showtime series that originally aired during 1997-1998. Not to be confused with the 1983 feature film "The Hunger" that starred David Bowie, the series is an anthology of tales of the macabre and horrific. All manner of horror staples are incorporated into the various stories, from vampires and demons to humans with dark motives. Like HBO's "Tales From the Crypt," the episodes are erotic and don't shy from nudity and sexual content, but they are less graphic in the horror department.
The series was produced by feature film directors Ridley and Tony Scott and filmed in Montreal, and each episode is introduced by Terrence Stamp. The episodes have a retro feel -- the kind of show "The Twilight Zone" might have been without TV censorship. Actors featured in this set include newest screen James Bond, Daniel Craig; Karen Black ("Trilogy of Terror," "Five Easy Pieces"); Chad Lowe ("24"); Lena Headey ("300"); Sally Kirkland ("Bruce Almighty"); Bruce Davison ("X-Men"); Margot Kidder ("Superman: The Movie"); and Balthazar Getty ("Alias").
Plots include a peculiar relationship that develops between a man and woman who can be pierced by a sword and live; a chef preparing an unusual recipe from a secret book; a woman controlled by a beast; a vampire who convinces another man that he, too, is a vampire, and offers to tutor him in all things vampiric; and a tabloid journalist investigating a mysterious woman whose name is always mentioned by victims in a series of murders.
Keep in mind this series is geared for adults. There is as much bare skin in these episodes as there is horror -- maybe more. All episodes are in the full-frame format. The four-disc box set contains a 20-minute featurette, "The Hunger Inside," which provides a behind-the-scenes look at Season Two and features interviews with Ridley and Tony Scott.
