Dangerous Animals (2025)

Dangerous Animals (2025) is a co-production between the United States and Australia.

Ahhh! How I adore Hassie Harrison! This time, it’s really confirmed. Well, she only had a small role in the very good Southbound (2015), but it was mainly in Dementia (2015) that I started to find her incredible.

This film is also quite good, but it’s the last half hour, for once, that got the better of me and the film. I don’t like it when things get too exaggerated. Getting a sharp weapon in your throat or several stab wounds in your side, but surviving… meh!

Being able to sleep with such injuries without antibiotics or disinfectant? Okay, you pass out in cases like that… but you’re not conscious and ready to fight in the next scene!!!

Anyway! The intro is fine. There’s a quick sex scene, which is traditional for this kind of film, beautiful, pleasant, and rather important for what follows. No, no one gets pregnant, if you’re wondering! That’s not it!

Simple story, nothing hard to understand. There are the usual plot twists, but there are plenty of them here, particularly a lot. This keeps the suspense going, while sometimes tiring the viewer. Too much is too much!
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill shark story, but one about a psychopath who delivers his victims to the teeth of the sea! I won’t spoil it any more than that.

This crazy guy is played by Jai Courtney, who superhero fans will recognize from The Suicide Squad (2021), the sequel to the first Suicide Squad (2016), in which he also appeared. He also starred in Die Hard 5 (2013).

Josh Heuston plays the physically perfect guy, but embodies the sentimental, fragile, romantic guy who will annoy more than one alpha male and modern feminist who thinks men are useless.

He is best known for his role in the series Dune: Prophecy – Season 1.

There are some ridiculous and incoherent scenes, but I won’t have bad memories of this adventure.

It’s decent entertainment, a thriller that’s not too horror-filled, relatively enjoyable, and will continue to terrify those who are truly afraid of sharks… and humans!
