Review of Dangerous Animals
This film takes the sharksploitation subgenre in an unexpected direction, revealing that the sharks aren’t really the villains, instead you are faced with a deranged serial killer on the hunt for his next victim
Released in 2025 directed by Sean Byrne the film explores themes of human versus animal predation, facing your demons, and even humans eternal search for connection
Subverting expectations you are taken on a ride filled with action and suspense as well as a stand out performance from Jai Courtney who plays tucker our villain
Dangerous Animals succeeds in making a solid connection to the characters with interesting plot devices driving the story forward.
The pacing is great and keeps you engaged
although, the suspension of disbelief gets harder to get behind into the third act.
Overall the movie is fun and brings a new premise to a genre that is well overdue for a revamp.
Score
