Hungry (2026 Survival Block)

Survival Thriller

If you like wild creature-feature survival thrillers, James Nunn's "Hungry" delivers a sub-Saharan answer to "Jaws." The apex predator here isn't a shark, but a massive hippo that hunts down humans instead of marbles. Given that real-world hippos can bite targets completely in half, this thriller combines genuine suspense with B-movie fun. Available to buy or rent across top video-on-demand marketplaces like Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Google Play.
