Director: James Nunn
Cast: Madison Davenport, Tracey Bonner, Joaquim de Almeida
Hungry is a 2026 British horror-thriller directed by James Nunn, following a group of vacationers who stumble into a nightmare in the Louisiana bayou — hunted not by a human predator but by a massive, territorial hippopotamus with no intention of letting them leave alive.
What is Hungry about?
A group of friends sets out for what promises to be a relaxing getaway in the waterlogged marshes of Louisiana. Their plans unravel quickly when their vehicle becomes stranded deep in the swamplands, far from any road or cell signal. As night closes in, they realize they are sharing the water with something enormous and relentless. A wild hippopotamus — displaced, agitated, and extraordinarily dangerous — has claimed this stretch of bayou as its own. One by one, escape routes are blocked and the group must improvise at every turn just to stay alive. The swamp itself becomes as much an obstacle as the animal, with murky water, dense vegetation, and zero visibility conspiring against them.
Cast & crew
Director James Nunn brings a background in high-pressure, location-driven action to the project. Madison Davenport leads the cast, known for her work in genre television. Tracey Bonner and Joaquim de Almeida round out the ensemble, with de Almeida a veteran character actor whose decades of international screen work lend the film credibility and weight.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, creature-feature thrillers set in remote wilderness have always held strong appeal — the isolation, the survival instincts, and the primal tension translate across cultures without needing cultural context. Hungry lands in that tradition, swapping the standard shark or snake for one of the animal kingdom's genuinely most dangerous animals. The Louisiana bayou setting also carries its own exotic atmosphere for international audiences. The film is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub and Persian subtitles, making it equally accessible whether you prefer to watch in your native language or follow along with the original English dialogue.
