5.0 out of 5 stars Never Knowing what the Clock truly Means November 2, 2010

By TorridlyBoredShopper TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

A few people find themselves waking in a place that seems foreign. All they know about it is that they do not know the place, that they have a few pieces of this and that, and that they have no idea how to get out. The people seem like a culture shock, too, and the things they have in common are odd. Added to that is the watching eye that keeps staring, hiding the reason these people are there and the inner reason why this needs to happen. As the people explore this place they see a more and more grim reality, too, and it leads them to think about acting on some terrible thoughts.

When the Fangoria line-up hit, I didn't know what to expect. Some of the movie were not what I wanted to see, either, but a few were. The story of a hospital with children being haunted was good, and Dark House was a nice 80s vibe. Still, all the movies did not carry themselves this way. When I got to Hunger, however, things seemed a little different. The film seemed a little cheap at first, but this rush to judgment would have made me miss out some something. As the image on the front implies, things get messy here.

As far as storyline, it is simple and complex at the same time. You have people that are caught and that are herded, and these people do not know why. The place is wired and the people do not seem to notice, but they quickly seem to figure something out. As the time elapses they grow more and more concerned with self, too, and the group idea seems endangered. Then, well, the stuff really gets out of hand.

The actors did a nice job here as well and I was happy with that because some movie simply don't try. This one does, and it shows. you can feel the tunnels and you can taste the needs and, honestly, it makes the situation all-the-more interesting. As someone that wants blood and expected it, I felt like I got what I was asking for. It all came out in the proverbial wash.

If you are looking to check out something nice, check this one out. It is one of the three best Fangoria movies this year, and I liked them all. This was a human horror that made it in the mix and, well, I thought it was nice. I miss gore going on in a evenly flowing way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great concept - mildly flawed delivery November 10, 2012

By Mickey Ryan

Format:DVD

Five strangers are kidnapped by a sick scientist and thrown in a dirty dungeon with nothing but a knife and plenty of water. The motive? To see what they're willing to do for days - weeks, without food. Uncomfortably fun torture-porn idea is weighed down by some obvious lack of realism. Its quite understandable that rapid and severe weight loss is not the easiest thing to portray on screen but like another reviewer stated - why the lack of beard growth? Lori Heuring's hair flows like an Herbal Essences commercial throughout the ordeal. I can also do without the constant close-ups of the red whiskers of the mysterious scientist. Nonetheless - the film has some very memorable moments and tolerable characters (especially an icy Lea Kohl, who uses her sex appeal as a tool for survival). Overall a decent look at the breakdown of humanity that could've been a lot better. Don't buy just rent or watch on Netflix.

"Hunger is a dark exploration into the breakdown of humanity. How far would you go to survive in the most extreme of circumstances? Five strangers awaken to find themselves trapped in an underground dungeon. They soon realize they are the subjects of one man's sadistic experiment to test the depths of a human being's will to survive. As the days go by with no means of escape, their hunger increases as their humanity fades away. Written by Anonymous "

Its not scary, more suspenseful. After doing some research there are parts of the human body you can eat that will keep you alive (some on the inside), but other parts that wont effect your health. In anycase. the movie is actually interesting. Each actor does a good job and their roles where written well. You either hated them or loved them. A nice movie worth watching atleast once.
