Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
... View MoreThe first must-see film of the year.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreI love schlock and direct-to-video films, but this one is JUST boring. I was mostly drawn in by the funny title, but I wish I'd given this a miss.While there's the occasional scene that is inadvertently funny because of bad acting, HORROR OF THE HUNGRY HUMONGOUS HUNGAN is mostly just boring, lacking the spirit of similar B-movies. The scene transitions make no sense, and neither does the story (which is essentially RE-ANIMATOR combined with Friday THE 13TH and bouts of voodoo). There's a gratuitously long live performance. Then there's bouts of nonsensical action interspersed with long sequences of utter nothingness, including a really drawn-out camping scene. The lighting and sound are terrible, and the evil monster wears a white wig.What's most disappointing is that you don't even get any fun B-movie practical effects. Most deaths are not even shown directly and there's not much gore to speak of. All in all, this movie disappoints at many levels.
... View MoreHORROR OF THE HUNGRY HUMONGOUS HUNGAN is a terrible film even by the lowest standards of 1990s independent horror. It lacks the raw power of similar homemade films like THE ABOMINATION and THE DEADLY SPAWN, instead coming across as a brain-dead copy of Friday the 13th. It's no surprise that Troma would be the only company willing to put their name to this kind of trash.The film alternates between extreme boredom and ludicrousness. The bits that are non-action are long-winded and dull, with non-actors going through the motion and Jack Palance inexplicably turning up to supply some nonsensical narration for a couple of minutes before going again. The scenes of the monster attacking are laughable, simply featuring a guy in a rubber mask making some one liners and the occasional rubbery gore scene. I don't need to bother explaining how bad the triumvirate of acting, writing, and direction is either.
... View MoreOK this movie is bad, really bad The acting is bad, the makeup is bad, the plot, everything. Also the plot doesn't make sense in some partsThey are trying to have some comic parts, but it didn't work for me, I don't know maybe they will work for you. I have a weird sense of humor after all.Sometimes the camera stays too long in a scene, I suppose to feel in some gaps and also many scenes in this movie seem that they made it through the final cut, just to feel the time gap! In the end they made it, the movie is over 90 minutes! So back to the plot. Mad scientist – doctor creates a weird creature that goes in a rampage killing people. A weird girl has visions – dreams of some kind and the plot continues.In overall yes the movie is bad. Is it cult bad? No I don't think so. You need to have something weird and extraordinary to be cult bad and you have to be much more than this movie to become a classic! It misses that something.
... View MoreThe genetic experiment goes wrong as it creates a hideous monster from dead body parts:a re-animated corpse thirsty for blood.After killing some idiots the zombie escapes from the hospital and searches for the victims in the nearest woods.A group of teenagers is camping in the forest.Soon they are stalked and murdered by hungry humongous.The 3-minutes long narration by Jack Palance is hilarious-he talks about The Hungan and some silly voodoo mumbo jumbo.Ultra-cheap and ultra-braindead slasher/monster flick with some of the lousiest special effects I have ever seen.The monster is just one guy wearing lame mask.There is even utterly horrible hair metal band Cry Wolf,which plays a couple of songs.The acting is non-existent,the gore is awful and the monster flails his arms while chasing his prey.A perfect example of hysterical Z-grade trash.Good for few laughs!
