Hungry Review
A group of thinly drawn characters on a Louisiana tour fight for survival against a rampaging vegetarian
TL;DR
- The film's choice of hippos as antagonists is questioned due to their potentially non-threatening appearance and vegetarian nature.
- Hippos are described as territorial and dangerous when protecting young, or simply enjoying killing humans.
- Victims are on a bayou tour in Louisiana, an unexpected location for a hippo attack.
- Characters are thinly drawn, with Sistine (Madison Davenport) and her friends Hannah (Olivia Bernstone) and tour guide Rodrigo (Michel Curiel) being among them.
- The film prioritizes suspense and action over character development, with Sistine's gymnast skills and a fireman's knowledge aiding in escape.
- The premise is considered inherently silly, undermining the film's attempts at horror.
