Hungry (2026) presents a rampaging hippopotamus that wrecks an alligator-touring flatboat group in the Louisiana bayou. The film paddles through familiar territory, but swaps out the traditional crocodilian menace for a legitimately dangerous mega-mammal. Capable and earnest performances and impressive visuals bolster what would otherwise be a by-the-numbers production.

The Gorge is the ultimate mash-up film. Science fiction, romance, war, and horror are all bottled into one package. What The Gorge does best is character building. Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller have real star power and great chemistry. The action sequences rock, with great choreography and impressive production values. The monsters, though, are a mixed bag and are window-dressing MacGuffins to the main event, romance.
