If Hungry Hungry Hippos was turned into a horror movie, it would probably look a lot like Hungry.
The creature feature survival thriller will be released June 23 via Aura Entertainment. Watch the trailer below.
Hippo horror movie Hungry follows thrill-seeking tourists on a riverboat tour through the treacherous Louisiana swamplands. Lured off the beaten path by the promise of an exclusive adventure, they soon find themselves fighting for survival against a ravenous hippopotamus lurking beneath the bayou’s murky waters.
