Fangoria Frightfest - Hunger (2009)
imdb said:
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
So, yeah....this one was actually decent. Minimal set, which is fine, given the situation. Acting was decent, nothing cheesy, nothing that sent me home raving either. But, I would recommend this one, for sure. Not "omigod" but a pretty good time investment, IMO. The plot summary above shows the meat (no pun intended

) of the storyline. We have a person who set up the experiment whom we see in passing clips while he's observing the test subjects, but it mingles in flashbacks to why he's doing this, what effected him to the point of trapping people and testing them this way. Now, none of this gets real deep or makes you think much (though you can obviously ask yourself how far you would go in such a situation). The characters have a few twists in the story, but on a scale of 1-10 for wtf curveballs, they are mostly a 2-3 rating; which is to say, there isn't anything real surprising in this either....with that said, everything is realistic and acceptable as 'it could happen that way'.
A little sex, but nothing really 'skin' worthy. Gory, a little, but it isn't a driving factor in the film, they do a lot of the cannibal work off-screen. Though, the gory bit supports the main thrust of the film - the psychological 'push to the limits' for survival in a small confined space. The true eat or be eaten situation :D
Don't ask for a lot from this, and you'll get enough to make it worth your while.
