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

2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Matt Lynch In Review Online Jul 9
Very silly... [but] director James Nunn’s choice to play the material almost entirely straight is the film’s salvation. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Jul 5
Hungry is a 'wild animal on the loose' horror movie that wants to be different because the killer creature is a hippo. However, the story isn't interesting enough and gets stuck in quagmires of clichés. The movie also tries and fails to have campy comedy. Go to Full Review

2/5
The novelty of a hippo being a vicious predator soon wears off after the first sighting of the creature, but it's not the worst film of its kind. Go to Full Review

B-
There’s no pretense of being anything more than what it is: a water-based creature feature about a hippo killing tourists. That’s what I wanted, and that’s exactly what I got. Go to Full Review

Rob Jun 28 Super fun horror movie about a killer hippo. Not calling this movie “Hungry Hungry” was a huge missed opportunity. See more Beth H @RT23618255 2d 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. See more Eugene A @Asqarman 2d Slightly better than sharks See more Serena R @SRob27 Jul 21 Don’t bother! Dreadful, predictable storyline, lacklustre performances with some dire scenes.Hannah was so annoying! See more Louise T @Louise153 Jul 21 What to say…don’t bother, other than the hippo the cast don’t hold you & storyline is predictable, dull despite trying to be novice & clever. And the cast, a lot of overacting going on by the dark haired actress who played Hannah, got eliminated early on (thank goodness, couldn’t have watched her through the entire movie, just OTT with the acting) See more Lynne K @LizLemon7171 Jul 19 I liked the premise - finally, a different killer beast instead of a gator or shark. It’s not groundbreaking but there are many worse ways to spend 90-ish minutes on a Sunday. See more Read all reviews
