The Hungry is an interesting little piece that really leans into its horror roots. It’s got a tight runtime, but it manages to create a tense atmosphere right from the start. The central theme revolves around consumption, both literally and metaphorically, which is pretty compelling. The practical effects are actually pretty striking for a short film; they use them well to amp up the unease. The pacing keeps you on edge without overstaying its welcome. The performances are solid, with a kind of understated dread that sells the whole concept. It’s that kind of film where you can really feel the director's intent, even if their name isn’t widely known. A curious entry in the Four4 Very Short Horror Film Competition.
