In Dangerous Animals, you’re safer in the water.
The Australian serial killer/shark horror hybrid opens in theaters June 6 from IFC and Shudder. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday, May 21.
Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones) directs from a script by Nick Lepard (Keeper).
Hassie Harrison (“Yellowstone”), Josh Heuston (“Dune: Prophecy”), and Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys) star with Rob Carlton (“The White Lotus”), Ella Newton (“Harrow”), and Liam Greinke (“Deadloch”).
When Zephyr (Harrison), a rebellious surfer, is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer (Courtney) and held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.
The film premiered as part of the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend, receiving a 10-minute standing ovation.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 4.5-skull review, “Byrne manages to walk right up to the line of nihilism without ever losing a sense of humor or humanity, making for a rewarding, triumphant experience that feels earned. It also features a star-making turn from Hassie Harrison and Jai Courtney’s instantly memorable turn as a villain for the ages, which just seals Byrne’s latest as one of the year’s must-see movies.”
If you’re in the Austin, TX area, you can experience Dangerous Animals on the water at Volente Beach Resort & Waterpark on May 31.
