Hungry follows thrill-seeking tourists on a riverboat tour through the treacherous Louisiana swamplands, writes Phil over at Live for Films.

Lured off the beaten path by the promise of an exclusive adventure, they soon find themselves fighting for survival against a ravenous hippopotamus lurking beneath the bayou’s murky waters. Set in a mysterious and dangerous landscape, HUNGRY is a tense survival thriller about an impossible battle with one of nature’s deadliest predators.

Written and directed by James Nunn (Wildcat, One Shot trilogy).

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars.
