Hungry has a wonderfully simple sales pitch—a vacation, a swamp, and several thousand pounds of territorial meat that absolutely did not consent to being part of the tour. This week, we wade into Hungry, the creature feature written and directed by James Nunn. When a boatload of tourists becomes stranded deep in the Louisiana bayou, their sightseeing excursion turns into a survival mission against a rampaging hippopotamus. Does this beastly B-movie deliver a satisfying feeding frenzy, or will it leave creature-feature fans as hungry hungry hippos?

Other Notable Projects
James Nunn — Writer and Director
Nunn is best known for muscular, tightly contained action films rather than traditional creature horror. He directed One Shot and One More Shot, action thrillers designed around the illusion of extended continuous takes. That experience with geography, pressure and escalating danger translates naturally to a survival story in which characters have limited space and little time to make decisions. He also directed Tower Block, The Marine 5: Battleground, Eliminators and Shark Bait. Hungry represents a genre pivot, but not a complete departure from his interest in enclosed action scenarios.
Madison Davenport — Sistine
Davenport has moved between mainstream television, independent drama and genre material. Her credits include Sharp Objects, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Reprisal, Noah and The Possession. That history makes her a useful anchor for Hungry: she can play heightened genre danger without treating the character as a disposable caricature.
Joaquim de Almeida — Walker
De Almeida has spent decades playing commanding allies, criminals and ambiguous authority figures in international productions. His credits include Clear and Present Danger, Desperado, Fast Five, Behind Enemy Lines, The Hitman’s Bodyguard and the 2024 remake of Road House. His presence gives this comparatively small creature feature an immediate sense of gravitas—and makes it easier to believe that somebody might actually attempt to confront the hippo rather than simply scream at it.
Tracey Bonner — Dionne
Bonner has appeared across television and film, including The Exorcism, Sweet Magnolias, Black Lightning and Raising Dion. Her casting supports the film’s attempt to build an ensemble of recognizable human personalities rather than presenting an anonymous buffet.
Jim Meskimen — Tim
Meskimen is a prolific character actor, voice performer and impressionist whose credits include Apollo 13, There Will Be Blood, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and extensive animation and video-game work. Casting a performer known for vocal comedy inside a mostly straight-faced survival thriller gives the ensemble an interesting tonal ingredient.
Austin Wintory — Composer
The score comes from Austin Wintory, widely celebrated for his video-game music, particularly Journey, The Banner Saga, Abzû and The Pathless. His involvement gives the film a composer experienced in building momentum and emotional atmosphere around environments, exploration and danger.
