“Hungry Joe” is a British horror short film!
This Brittish short horror movie tells the contemporary story (loosely based on the true story of Tarrare) of a single mother who struggles to bond with her apathetic child. At its core, “Hungry Joe” explores themes of addiction, isolation, and the horrors of the human condition.
Tarrare, a figure known for his insatiable appetite and grotesque behaviors
An atypical horror. Because, not the fear is purpose but the portrait of a dramatic fall. A single mother and her special son. And the words of the other, across years , about his huge apetite. Admirable for many reasons, from the acting to photography and storytelling!
Directors: Samuel Dawe, Paul Holbrook
