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.

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.

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

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?

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!

This is hardly the Jaws of killer hippopotamus movies, or even the Anaconda of killer hippopotamus movies—it just goes by the numbers, simply existing in a suspense-free void.

Super fun horror movie about a killer hippo. Not calling this movie “Hungry Hungry” was a huge missed opportunity.

A pretty solid dumb shark movie but with a hippo. While flawed this was entertaining, filled with decent tension and boosting a short breezy runtime this does what you’d expect and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Some of the moments of exposition are fairly clunky and it absolutely takes itself too seriously but I still enjoyed this.

This is probably one of the worst movies ever its almost funny. Title has no connection to the plot (hippos are vegetarian) and it isnt killing them because its hungry, plot is so predictable an elementary kid probably came up with it, characters are incredibly stupid. I feel even more stupid for watching this. Wasted an hour of my life.
