The Addiction Ratings & Reviews
Spin
Manohla Dargis
Bloody fun, the film is classic Ferrara -- stomach-churning, infuriating, sublime.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
One of Abel Ferrara's interesting failures.
TV Guide
It's got a remarkable visual texture, integrity to burn, and almost -- but not quite -- enough intelligence to justify its lofty ambitions.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
No matter, without exactly transcending the awful material, Ferrara puts it across with astonishing poetry and conviction.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
What we get is a slight, but entertaining movie, that's (dare I say it?) unintentionally funny at times.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Reflecting Ferrara's obsession with guilt and redemption, the film acknowledges the capacity for evil, urging viewers to take responsibility for their actions, or else there won't be a way to arrest evil's diffusion from one generation to the next.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
The allegory wears thin fast, and we're just left with artifice.
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Given all the talent involved, this should have been much more compelling.
New York Times
Caryn James
Love him or hate him, Mr. Ferrara is one of the few directors who can turn genre movies into something deeper.
Palo Alto Weekly
Susan Tavernetti
Christopher Walken, who always looks like one of the living dead, proves that he hasn't exhausted his capacity to make your skin crawl.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Ferrara's film both impresses and terrifies sufficiently for most of its duration.
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
Captain! The Pretense-O-Meter's gone off the scale!
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
A strange and diverting take on the old vampire tale.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Abel Ferrara, working from a rabidly ambitious script by Nicholas St. John, gives the genre a provocative and perversely funny snap that Anne Rice might envy.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The Addiction is less a blood-sucking story than a fable about modern enervation.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Unfortunately, it's so dark -- and impenetrable -- that it shuts us out.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Macabre and provocative, yet wonderfully restrained.
