Hungry is one of those loglines that leave little to the imagination. A group of tourists embark on a gator tour through the swamps of Louisiana. After going off the beaten path, the travelers find themselves facing off against one of nature’s most dangerous beasts. Is there any way they will be able to overcome an angry hippopotamus? There is a big red flag that immediately makes an appearance. No, there are not any hippos in Louisiana.

There have been movies about characters trying to overcome their addictions for decades. It seems like at the turn of the century, stories about hard partying young people trying to fight their inner demons became even more popular. Find Your Friends sounds like another indie film with a female lead who wants to do more with her life than just get drunk and high. Amber (Helena Howard, I Saw the TV Glow) and her friends head out to Joshua Tree for the annual girls’ trip.

Carolina Caroline is a romantic crime thriller about a whirlwind relationship powered by intense passion and quick decisions. Caroline (Samara Weaving, Ready or Not 2) works at a gas station in a small town. When she sees a stranger (Kyle Gallner, Smile) pulling a scam, she is intrigued. The pair soon find comfort in each other leading to a crime spree that changes both of their lives. Weaving can always be counted on to deliver in any role she undertakes. This may be one of her best.
