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

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 Fauzan I @RT02125237 13 hrs ago bunch of ret4rds in a movie with horrendous acting and unfunny jokes. sh!t movie, dont bother watching. See more Shannon A @CallmeShay 21 hrs ago I know no one expects this movie to be marginal at best…because it’s about a killer Hippo in the Louisiana bayou. The acting is horrendous and the plot is absolute folly. I suppose this is why it’s 1.5 stars of being slightly entertaining. See more Cesar B @Cjbrandnewme 2 days ago Really bad movie, bad acting and honestly who ever put there money up for this film should get a refund. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 4 days ago Hungry is a horror film about a killer hippo, giving the story a dark and unusual premise. There’s already been a cheesy hippo movie, but this one feels like a step up in production quality. I appreciated the attempt to do something different with an animal-based horror story. Unfortunately, the screenplay feels flat, and the hippo’s CGI makes the danger hard to believe. When a film relies on an animal to drive the horror, the creature needs to feel convincing. Here, the effects look artificial, and the suspense never becomes genuinely frightening. Instead of feeling caught up in the danger, I kept thinking about how fake it looked. Ultimately, Hungry is fine for a one-time watch, but it doesn’t leave much of an impression. The concept is creative, and the production is better than similar cheesy films, yet the writing and effects hold it back. I wanted more tension and a hippo that felt truly threatening, but the movie never delivered. I wouldn’t revisit it. See more Jenn N @JennNoir 5 days ago I can’t believe that in 2026, this was the best animatronic they could come up with. What started out feeling like a bad student film project somehow managed to get progressively worse with every passing minute. It was like watching a slow-motion car wreck—you knew it was going to be bad, but you just couldn’t look away. Naturally, I had to rubberneck all the way to the end. Final verdict a hippo wreck.
