James Nunn’s killer hippo flick ‘Hungry’ reasonably gobbles up the competition on the Prime Video charts. Learn more.
Who doesn’t love a good creature feature? Better still, how about one that aspires to do more than, say, set loose another killer shark? Such was the case with James Nunn’sHungry, an aquatic horror movie about some hungry, hungry (and killer) hippos. Check out the trailer below and learn more:
Per Prime Video: Tourists embark on a riverboat journey through the treacherous Louisiana swamplands, lured off the beaten path by the promise of an exclusive adventure. They soon find themselves fighting for survival against a vicious hippopotamus lurking beneath the bayou’s murky waters.
In our 3.5-star review of Hungry, we wrote, “Hungry is a movie that knows exactly what it is. While that might sound like a backhanded endorsement, indicative of a movie that never aspires to be more than it should be, I mean it in the most complimentary terms. James Nunn works wonders within an established wheelhouse, setting a killer hippo loose among some bayou buckos, eschewing the faux sincerity too many contemporary monster movies dabble in. Hungry is about a giant, monstrous hippopotamus, and it more than delivers on that front.”
It’s a hoot-and-a-half, and it’s no wonder it’s topped the Prime Video charts. A lot of great horror has been released this year, so consider this our way of showing Hungry a little extra love. If you check it out, be certain to let us know what you think!
