Very silly... [but] director James Nunn’s choice to play the material almost entirely straight is the film’s salvation. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 4d
Hungry is a 'wild animal on the loose' horror movie that wants to be different because the killer creature is a hippo. However, the story isn't interesting enough and gets stuck in quagmires of clichés. The movie also tries and fails to have campy comedy. Go to Full Review

The novelty of a hippo being a vicious predator soon wears off after the first sighting of the creature, but it's not the worst film of its kind. Go to Full Review

There’s no pretense of being anything more than what it is: a water-based creature feature about a hippo killing tourists. That’s what I wanted, and that’s exactly what I got. Go to Full Review

5/10
While there is some clever tension on the surface, the longer the story goes on, the murkier it feels and looks. The hippo may be hungry, but audiences might leave with empty stomachs. Go to Full Review

Rob Jun 28 Super fun horror movie about a killer hippo. Not calling this movie “Hungry Hungry” was a huge missed opportunity. See more sebastian andres O @Yoamoalcine 2d Hungry works as a good killer animal spectacle. It may not be groundbreaking, leaning more towards the traditional elements of this survival subgenre, but it offers a compelling pastime, with minor structural issues, delivering a sincere offering focused on giving the viewer what they expect. It has brilliantly executed moments and others that are somewhat more superficial, but it's undoubtedly a film that delivers and contributes, providing pure fun and leaving a pleasant feeling when the credits roll. See more Austin C @Austincole219 3d A really good movie that's not like your typical creature feature. See more Kimberly S @RT43905415 4d It’s exactly like the movie Black Water but with hippos. It’s uncreative and absurd. The tour business owner didn’t know there were hippos and a building less than 5 miles off course… 5 hours overdue and no one was looking for them? The film totally lost me with Mikey. See more April B @RT55871812 5d It's a NO 😞.. to pre-predictable and then you will be commenting to yourself about the whole situation and the ACTING 😖🙄.. It seems like there's no common sense in this movie 🎥.. overall it's just a terrible movie for someone who really likes a different type of twist and real believable action! 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾🤦🏾‍♀️ See more C B @RT03025588 6d A killer hippo is a change of pace from the usual killer sharks and killer alligators/crocs, and they actually do cause more human deaths in Africa every year than any other animal. I recognized one of the actors and for a low-budget film the performances are not too bad. They should have made the creature super-sized- it's enormity caused by radioactive waste, or something.
