- ርልዪረJune 24, 2026I waited a long time for this movie, and in the end it was even better than I imagined! This movie was incredible; it's full of emotions and makes you really care about the characters. The whole movie was simply impactful. Good cinematography, good acting, and I also really liked the suspense, the scenes, and especially the characters. My favorite was Sistine, which is why I worried about her in the movie, but I was also sad about the deaths of the other characters. But this movie is very Fun! And that's one of the main, or even the main reasons why I'm giving this movie a full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- macaronzAugust 6, 2026A Decent Watch with Good CGI and a Strong Ending, Even If the Direction Stumbles. Hungry is by no means a bad film, anchored largely by a surprisingly effective and satisfying ending. However, it suffers significantly from poor direction that fails to maintain a steady, gripping pacing throughout the film. I also felt like the characters lacked real emotional depth, which kept me a bit disconnected. But the CGI is good and I enjoyed the ending.
- Joseph GarlowAugust 1, 2026Very slow moving movie. I wanted so much more from this movie, I liked the idea of a killer hippo as some don't realize the strength these creatures have...it's amazing! I mean I really wish I could say it's worth the watch but when the movie was over...I couldn't have cared. It just went too slow for a movie like this. Worth the watch....no, would I watch it again...obviously no.
- Dario TibayJuly 7, 2026Worth keeping as a compact creature-feature entry, especially for nights when I want something direct, slightly ridiculous in concept, but handled with more sincerity than expected. Hungry is a survival thriller about tourists stranded in the Louisiana swamp with a rampaging hippopotamus, and the film’s best decision is that it does not treat the hippo as a joke. The title obviously points towards Hungry Hungry Hippos, but the actual story is more about territory and maternal protection than appetite. That gives the ending a bit more shape than the usual “kill the monster and limp away” approach. Sistine survives not because she outmuscles the threat, but because she finally understands why the animal is attacking. The practical effects are the main reason to revisit it. The hippo has presence, especially in the close-up work, and the artificial bayou setting is convincing enough to create a proper little waterlogged danger zone. Madison Davenport holds the centre as Sistine, while Joaquim de Almeida gives Walker the right grizzled creature-feature energy. The weaknesses are familiar ones. The structure is predictable, the characters make the usual terrible survival-horror decisions, and the deaths are not as physically brutal as a hippo-attack film could probably justify. Some characters remain sketches rather than people. Still, it does what it says on the tin. A solid, slightly odd animal-attack film with a memorable monster and enough old-school craft to make it more than a novelty gag.
