"Debbie Rochon directs this film about an aging ex-model (played by Lynn Lowry) who has more than a thing or two to tell these young girls running around today about how they should be appreciating there lives. If you're a fan of Rochon, Lowry, or independent horror films in general, you should pick this up and give it a watch! The special features are pretty informative as well."
"Wild Eye Releasing is on of my new favorite Partner Labels to release b-horror the Vinegar Syndrome website. Model Hunger is a pretty gruesome horror movie with a very different take on the horror genre. I definitely recommend checking this one out! Packaging and presentation are excellent!"
"I always support this indie powerhouse when i can. Nice musing on an aging starlet as an antagonist. I'd recommend it to any Debbie Rochon or Lynn Lowry fan. Beautiful and talented Tiffany Shepis too"
"I rally lowk Debbie Rochon and Tiffany Shepis. I’m not very familar with Lynn Larry but she was very good in this. Unfortunately this movie, while having a some good gore, is dull and over lit . I also don’t understand what the message was . Body positivity? Then why use obese models being as gross and unpleasant as possible. They are not meant to celebrate large women being beautiful but to make them repulsive as possible."
"Nice release from Wild Eye Entertainment. Starring my ultimate crush Lynn Lowry with Tiffany Shepis another awesome actress who've I've followed for years. Seems like a Troma film in a good way and the restoration looks fantastic. Filled with a ton of extras. A great package!"
"I've been seeing a lot of movies about older women killing young people lately. Another partner label release (Candle for the Devil) is an almost identical plot. But the direction and acting are strong enough to hold interest here. Probably 4 star movie but added one for the multitude of extras. Tons of interviews including about 7 hours of interview and commentary from Debbie Rochon, the legend herself. This movie actually shot pretty near where I live but I somehow had never heard of it till now. Worth checking out."
"Feels like Debbie's working on some personal demons in this, which is believable knowing what actresses have gone through, but I just wish the movie itself was a little stronger to put some oomph behind it. There's good messages, but it gets drowned out by the bog-standard Tubi level storytelling and aesthetics. There's at least enough weirdness here worth seeing, such as a guy eating ice cream with his asshole out pointing towards the camera while him and his wife watch Babbette Bombshell on tv eating donuts by a dumpster while whimsical music plays. That's something you don't get to see often, or even a sentence you get to write much. Also makes me miss the days when the likes of Tiffany Shepis, or even Debbie herself, were in 30 movies a year. It was comforting."
"“Model Hunger” is a solid movie and I’d definitely recommend it. It starts out at a cheerleading practice and introduces some very promising characters. Sadly, this section seems very abbreviated and only two of the introduced characters move forward in the movie. The gore starts off mostly off-screen, but it gets better as the movie progresses. The direction, by Debbie Rochon is superb, and one would never guess that it was her first time directing. Lynn Lowry’s acting is superb and even outdoes Hugh Grant’s character in “Heretic” (which seems to share a few similar scenes as “Model Hunger”). The extras are a treat, as they include 3 commentaries, a new one with Debbie Rochon by herself and a legacy one which she shares one of her actors. Also includes a very interesting (almost) hour long interview with Debbie, where she recounts her entire history up to that point. Included also are two deleted scenes, one which shows a couple of takes of a cameo by Lloyd Kaufman. Lloyd is always a joy, but I can see why his scenes didn’t make the final cut. For fans of a films packaging, the slipcover features great new artwork on both sides. The inner case has its own great artwork and there is a cool alternate cover on the backside. Personally, I find it a drag when the slipcover art matches the front cover on the inner case artwork and no alternate artwork is included."
"Fantastic performance from Lynn Lowry ; the film itself is still very relevant today ( Pearl/X , the Substance . . . ) . Great release ."
"The directorial debut from scream, Queen, Debbie, Rochon. Starring living, legend and love of my life Lynn Lowry. Also stars the coolest person you will ever meet Tiffany Shepis. I really can’t say enough about this movie. Absolute fantastic job and this release is beautiful."
