This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

I stumbled upon "Hungerford" on Netflix. I had never heard about the movie prior to finding it here, and nor did I know what it was about. I found it under the horror section, and thus I decided to give it a chance.I shouldn't have.Boy, this was a massive waste of time and effort. I managed to endure a staggering 45 minutes of the ordeal that is "Hungerford" before I gave up from several reasons.First of all, the movie was just blatantly and downright boring. There was nothing interesting in it for me, so my interest was quickly waning.Secondly, it is a handheld video camera recorded movie, one of those "documentary"-like movies. You know, the type of movie you could make yourself with your own digital video camera. That particular type of movie never appealed to me, because I want to watch a movie with a proper production value and a certain level of quality to it, not something I myself could go and make with my friends.Thirdly, the storyline was just boring and uneventful, and it didn't really help that the characters were essentially one and the same. You didn't know where one character ended and the other began. Which meant that you don't care about them in any way.And what was up with the oversized bugs that was controlling people? Interesting? Well, perhaps. I will give them that much. But was it something that helped to improve on the movie? Hardly so.I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of "Hungerford" because it just had nothing to offer me in any way.

HUNGERFORD is a tiny budgeted found footage science fiction horror film made in Britain. The worst thing about it is the youthful cast, all of whom are quite obviously in their first acting job and who come across as very wooden and unconvincing as a result. When the script tries for characterisation it falls flat, with the protagonists a group of idiotic weed smokers who take an age to figure out what's going on around them. However, the alien invasion plot, while familiar, is quite well achieved. There's a mix of graphic bug body invasion horror a la SLITHER along with some taken over people straight out of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. The second half of the film in particular really picks up the pace and features a ton of action, reminding me of BUSHWICK a little.

Zombie movie+
found footage =
you know what you get, you have seen it before many timesAs expected when I saw the first zombie, no budget, amateur acting, shaky cam, fighting, copying better movies, filming when should be helping or in life or death situations, you have seen it all before.But I wasn´t exxpecting some 10 reviews here, I think we are grading on a curve nowadays

A bunch of housemates live in the English town of Hungerford . One day a strange electrical storm strikes the town . The housemates think nothing of it but a couple of days later the inhabitants start acting strangely More found footage a subgenre this reviewer got bored with a long time ago . That said director Drew Casson and his co-writer Jess Cleverly have make a film that while it initially didn't appeal to me didn't have me scrambling for the off button when I got in to it . Indeed for a film that has no budget , an amateur cast and whose cinematography is confined to one single camera being waved about HUNGERFORD has much more entertainment value that it has any right to which says a lot about it . Much of the impact is down to the story starting quickly with an effective image of a storm of sorts which considering the non existent budget is very well done . The storm is an unexplained transportation method for alien parasites that take over their human hosts similar to THE PUPPET MASTERS then it's zombie horror all the way . Yeah it's far from original but what it does it does very well . Some things don't entirely work like deodorant being used as a bug spray and Casson and co miss a trick in not using radio reports for exposition in order to wrench up tension as more and more people succumb to the aliens . Since HUNGERFORD is so self assured I often found myself wondering if the production might have been better off doing a more conventional film and abandoning the found footage concept all together
