Horror of The Hungry Humongous Hungan. (1991) – Randall Dininni.
Ubiquitously insane scientist inexplicably unleashes a voodoo curse, thereby enabling his recently reanimated creature to rampage gruesomely upon humanity with his monstrously elephantine death claw!!! I kinda dug the sound of that schlocky premise, but it doesn't mean that HoTHHH isn't still a reeking sump of Z-Movie silage. Palance's interminable narration is made palatable by the innate fact that he quite patently doesn't believe a world of it, but I can massively relate to the Hungan coyly playing Patty Cake, Patty Cake with his victim's runny-looking tummy snakes, rather than eating any of it! Hungan engages only partially with the most retrograded coils of the viewers brain, but it does communicate directly with the murky mechanism that reacts extremely positively to magisterially poor acting.
The inertia-inducing 'dramatic' interludes are spectacularly turgid, and some maverick misfit needs to release a fan-edit of all the non-Hungan material herein! Insipid hair-lords Cry Wolf shrilly perform an unduly optimistic track entitled 'It's getting Better!', while Dininni's soggy schlocker becomes increasingly infirm. The only truly shocking fact is that it took two people to write it!!??? Surely, a vivisected chimpanzee, and a well-worn copy of Troma's 'Movie Crapola for Dummies' would have yielded more credible results!? I dug HotHHH unreservedly, and not just because the Hungan looked like a failed gene splicing of a bad dream Dave Franco, and David Ike! I assume the good doctor Henry gave his Hungan one regular-sized hand, just so he could take care of his solo sexy business!? While I'm absolutely certain your Aunt Fanny's fanny could fart a better film than this, but until that benighted day, we shall just have to make do with this one!
