Alligators are no longer the most dangerous thing in the Louisiana swamps.

HUNGRY is coming to VOD from Aura Entertainment June 23. Written and directed by James Nunn (the ONE SHOT trilogy), it stars Madison Davenport (IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES), Tracey Bonner, Michel Curiel, Jim Meskimen, Samantha Coughlan, Olivia Bernstone, River Codack and Joaquim de Almeida. The synopsis: “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. Set in a mysterious and dangerous landscape, HUNGRY is a tense survival thriller about an impossible battle with one of nature’s deadliest predators.”
