2/5
Starring a fun prosthetic creature, Hungry is not here for a long time or a good time. Hippos, you had your chance and you blew it. Bring on the violent vole movies. Go to Full Review

This animal-attack horror plugs a gap with beasties -- hippopotamuses -- that may be deadly in real life but are hard to take seriously as a threat on screen. Go to Full Review

Hungry forgoes the silliness and becomes an intense animal attack survival horror that can stand alongside the likes of Deep Blue Sea, Rogue, and Crawl. Go to Full Review

Worst of all, the computer-generated hippo never feels like a credible threat, not least because it actually looks quite cute... Go to Full Review

3/5
When all is said and done, Hungry is a genuinely solid animal attack film that succeeds in making its creature threat thrilling, entertaining, and, dare I say, educational? Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Particularly impressive is the four-legged baddie, a CGI beast who slow-reveals his mightiness, but when his time to enter monster-movie mythology arrives….oh, baby! Go to Full Review

Rob Jun 28, 2026 Super fun horror movie about a killer hippo. Not calling this movie “Hungry Hungry” was a huge missed opportunity. See more Jason B @RT86723460 3 days ago Very good classic not to woke or pc all good See more Nerdy C @NerdyCritic 5 days ago (No Spoiler) When watching these types of horror film's, you expect the characters to not be the brightest because otherwise the plot wouldn't happen. however there is a line when the character make such bizarre choices that it makes what should have been an intense scene into a comical moment. the pacing was also very slow, it would have been fine if it had tension but without it, it just felt sluggish. one strange choice, is this character that should have been an antagonist due to her action's, but was treated like a victim? the hippo was also an odd antagonist, due to him not appearing when he should, and appearing when it makes little sense. all I could think about is that if the film had regular crocodiles you find in the wild, they would have ended up being a better killer than this hippo. if you are looking for a "so bad it's good horror film", like Sharknado or Killer Sofa. then you might enjoy this film, but I feel like there are more funny bad horror films out there. See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei 6 days ago I really wanted to enjoy this because a killer hippo in the Louisiana swamps is such a ridiculous but fun idea. Sadly, the movie felt too slow and sometimes genuinely dumb, with not enough tension or entertainment to keep me invested. The creature has potential, but the execution never really clicked for me. A disappointing watch overall. See more Chris D @ChrisMark Sep 6, 2026 Expectations were low. They got worse. Half a star for the hippo. Feels like a script generated by AI, some just banal decisions made by the characters can only be described this way. Got an escape route? Back you go. Trying to get away from a malevolent creature? Let’s have a snack break. Need to give your character’s meaning? Chuck in a quick 15 second back story monologue so we’ll care about them a bit more when they meet their fate. They even keep a character alive who is literally responsible for three of the other’s deaths. Bizarre.
