Dangerous Animals

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to for Dangerous Animals. The acting by Jai Courtney was absolutely superb and haunting. I found myself thinking being totally creeped out days later. The way he was charming and convincing one moment and completely deranged the next showed some excellent range alike to James McAvoy in Speak No Evil.

During the movie I found myself having to look away at some of the more gruesome scenes. Again, a rare occurrence for a horror lover.

I liked that the sharks were not the villains since we all know by now what after the releases of Jaws.

As for some negatives: yes, there were some opportunities for the heroine to get away, but I guess they could be explained by sheer fear and adrenaline, I also did find the cat-and-mouse chase got a tad bit repetitive towards the end.

Overall, for a movie that was 1.5 hours it felt long, but in a great way! It was just long enough to keep me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to watch it again on a streaming service and have the opportunity to analyze Jai Courtney's, sadistic Tucker, in more detail.

Horror fans don't miss Dangerous Animals!

Saw this at an unknown screening and when it announced the movie, everybody groaned. But that opening scene blew everyone away and hooked them in, such a good opener for a movie.

Went into this knowing absolutely nothing, and was pleasantly surprised. A really exhilarating film that mixes 10 Cloverfield Lane with Nicholas Cage's The Surfer, and I have to say it was a very fun watch. The main girls acting wasn't amazing but it was definitely believable, even if her character was a bit 1 noted. Where this definitely shines is the kidnapper, he does an amazing and terrifying job.

Definitely not a masterpiece but I really enjoyed it.

I saw this film tonight as a mystery movie at Odeon and I gotta say it was better than expected. I saw the trailer before and it peaked my interest but it was more of a I'll wait til it's on demand to watch. I'm glad I did get to see it though. It was tense, Jai Courtney's character was brilliant and the lead I hadn't seen before but she did a great job. It's not the shark horror you'd expect and as someone who likes the original movie "Deep Blue Sea" (still one of the best shark movies) this one is a good little switch off from the real world that may be a little slow but it's still a fun ride.

Excellent indie thriller with jai Courtney giving a fine performance as our truely dangerous animal.

All the thrills and horror on the boat keep you guessing and cringing with terror as this film rolls on.with stunning cinematography and breathtaking violence to hold you till the end.

All the cast did a fine job and the script holds up better than most in these type of movies.

Oh and the sharks do make an appearance and yes truely terrifying beasts of the sea, but the real animal is jai Cortney.

Filmed on the gold coast and qld this local film will not do tourism any favours. But hey I don't think it will stop them neither.

Dangerous Animals is a scrappy Australian horror-thriller that's pure fun, proving a tiny budget can deliver big thrills. This indie gem keeps you hooked with raw energy and a cast of unknowns who bring real heart, making you root for them. Clocking in at a tight 90 minutes, it's lean, mean, and never drags.

Smart pacing and a chilling atmosphere pull you right in. It shows what a small, passionate team can do, making Hollywood's bloated blockbusters look foolish.

Compare that to those $200 mill+ Hollywood flops packed with A-listers and CGI, lazy scripts, and overblown visuals that prioritize flash over story (yes, I'm looking at you, Jurassic World: Rebirth).

Dangerous Animals crafts a gripping experience with minimal resources. It's a thrilling reminder that you don't need big budgets to make something truly entertaining.
