Dangerous Animals (2025) Movie Review – A bloody good time
A bloody good time There's an art to crafting a great trailer that doesn't spoil everything, and Dangerous Animals' teaser is almost pitch-perfect in that regard. It's gripping, intriguing, and captures the essence of this horror/thriller beautifully. Clocking in at just over 90 minutes, Dangerous Animals provides little surprises, living up to the promise produced in that teaser and embracing its distilled B-movie greatness. It's a film that's unashamedly visceral and gory, but also surprisingly effective in execution. The story draws inspiration from 10 Cloverfield Lane and Jaws, blending those influences into a lean teen horror in the vein of Don't Breathe and Hush. The opening of Dangerous Animals sets the scene for the film to follow. Mysterious, tense and just a tad surreally funny – Bruce Tucker (played to perfection by Jai Courtney) – runs a shark-diving expedition on his boat. Unfortunately, it all goes wrong for tourist Heather when her boyfriend is killed and fed to the sharks, while she's abducted by this maniacal serial killer. With Bruce on the hunt for new victims, he sets his sights on survivalist Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), a savvy and free-spirited young surfer. When she crosses paths with Bruce, Zephyr is forced to try and survive, doing everything she can to overcome this maniacal predator. With the stakes raised, Zephyr is handcuffed in the depths of Tucker's fishing boat, while he circles the water like a hungry shark, looking for tasty spots to pick up prey. Zephyr will be the next in line to meet a sticky demise though – unless she can outsmart him. The story is simplistic and rather predictable but the performances from both Jai Courtney and Hassie Harrison help this one stand out. The pair work hard to outshine one another, with Courtney's monologues about the ocean, animal hierarchies and predators both chilling and strangely educational. Courtney has an intoxicating way of filling every scene with an eerie sense of dread, and the movie is all the stronger for lingering the camera on him for an uncomfortably long time. Conversely, Harrison's portrayal of Zephyr – a spunky, tough-as-nails survivor – makes for an easy heroine to root for, especially as the movie examines a bit of her backstory and what drives her. There's no big exposition dumps or overlong explanations about the past though, with Sean Byrne instead letting audiences make draw their own conclusions. One of the standout scenes involves no dialogue at all: Bruce silently eating dinner, the camera lingering uncomfortably long. It's incredibly effective and underscores just how far gone he is. All of this is helped by the way Dangerous Animals effectively builds dread with just the right amount of hard cuts and lingering shots. The editors have done a great job here cutting the film together, clearly knowing when to cut away—and when not to. The film's main antagonistic hook (no pun intended) actually stems from Tucker rather than the sharks. These marine predators are used sparingly but effectively enough to maintain their presence as a formidable foe. However, the movie does a good job of portraying them as actual animals rather than maniacal killing machines too ala. Jaws. It's one of the more unique and welcome aspects of this movie that should definitely be applauded Having said that though, Dangerous Animals overplays its hand on several occasions. The movie attempts one too many break-out attempts for Zephyr and it diminishes their impact over time. It's also worth noting too that Moses Markley (Josh Heuston) is embarrassingly underused here. He doesn't have a whole lot to do beyond some filler investigative work to keep him busy, and the material he is given when joined with Zephyr has him playing second fiddle to her character. Moses lacks agency or anything in the way of charisma, which is a shame because this unrealized potential is a big hindrance to what's otherwise a taut thriller. Overall, Dangerous Animals is a decent, if unremarkable, thriller. It doesn't break new ground, and the plot has few surprises, but the strong lead performances and slick editing keep things afloat. Flaws and all, this one's still a bloody good time. Read More: Dangerous Animals Ending Explained

REVIEW: ‘Jaws' meets ‘Silence of the Lambs' in ‘Dangerous Animals'

Half a century after Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws' stirred fear and fascination by painting sharks as bloodthirsty monsters of the sea, the tongue-in-cheek horror thriller 'Dangerous Animals' gets its kicks watching a predator in cargo shorts and flip-flops – not one with a dorsal fin and sharp teeth – toying with his prey.

Create Account In a sharksploitation subgenre teeming with ridiculous premises (see: 'Ouija Shark,' 'Cocaine Shark,' etc.) and plenty of atrocious CGI, this vicious little Australian import is a breath of fresh oxygen. Lean, mean and bloody, director Sean Byrne's latest (he made 'The Devil's Candy') finds a fresh way into the annals of survival horror by pitting surfer vs. serial killer on the open seas, and as a corrective of sorts to the 'Jaws effect.' Here, it's not the carnivorous fishies its heroine should be worried about, but the sociopath with a misogynist streak trawling nearby waters. Hassie Harrison ('Yellowstone') stars as Zephyr, an itinerant American surfer in Australia who gets cold feet after a meet-cute with sensitive real estate agent Moses (Josh Heuston, stretching a thin role far enough to sell the connection). Ditching him after a passionate night together, she crosses paths with a stranger only to awake handcuffed in the bowels of a boat at sea in a nightmare scenario straight out of 'Saw.' Like February's slasher mash-up 'Heart Eyes,' 'Dangerous Animals' uses rom-com conventions to raise the stakes: Can this guarded loner escape a serial killer so she can learn to let down her walls and un-ghost her maybe-soulmate?

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Not if her captor can help it. Played with nutty aplomb by Jai Courtney, Bruce Tucker (Bruce being the nickname given to the mechanical shark in 'Jaws,' one of this movie's many homages) is a local charter boat captain and diving guide who's made a hobby of kidnapping female tourists and using them as chum for his own twisted VHS snuff movies. Sunburned and sadistic, Tucker fancies himself an apex predator. After surviving a childhood great white attack, with the gnarly scars to prove it, he knows how to weaponize that down-under charm to disarm his unsuspecting victims, even if he mostly relies on sharks to do his killing. Byrne wisely unleashes Courtney whenever possible, starting with a playful but foreboding prologue when meek English student Heather (Ella Newton) and her arrogant hostel hookup (Liam Greinke) arrive at Tucker's dock seeking oceanic thrills. Capturing sunbaked postcard hues along Queensland's Gold Coast and the eerie glow of Tucker's ramshackle boat by night, cinematographer Shelley Farthing-Dawe turns ocean vistas from bright and welcoming to portentous in the blink of a sunset, and gives underwater scenes featuring footage of real sharks an unnerving sense of gravity and grace. Horror and humor go hand in hand throughout as Tucker and Zephyr face off and Moses valiantly attempts to find her, though an intermittently screechy score overplays tense moments to the point of distraction. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Courtney's beastly performance remains the main attraction, electric whether he's crooning 'Baby Shark,' casually slicing jugulars or showing off drunken dance moves in his underwear a la Buffalo Bill in 'The Silence of the Lambs.' And he's quietly chilling as he explains his impulse to subjugate 'weaker creatures' in the name of order. Still, it's Harrison who carries the movie with steeliness and smarts. The film hints at common childhood wounds that sent predator and prey – or is it predator and predator? – on different paths of survival, but it doesn't probe very deeply, instead more interested in putting Zephyr through her gory final-girl paces. As her attempts at escape turn repetitious, the script by Nick Lepard never quite figures out how to fill its 98-minute run time with new cat-and-mouse (or shark-and-marlin, as Tucker dubs her) twists, and 'Dangerous Animals' loses steam treading familiar trope-filled waters en route to an oddly mawkish ending. At least it knows not to take itself too seriously – even if it did have its world premiere at the recent Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight. Spielberg's shark movie crown is still safe for the moment, even if the waters still aren't. Happy summer. – – – Two and one-half stars. Rated R. At theatres. Contains grisly violence, language, sex, drugs and sharks. 98 minutes. Rating guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars OK, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

Jai Courtney On ‘Dangerous Animals' And Missing Out On ‘Jack Reacher'
Jai Courtney attends the Los Angeles premiere of 'Dangerous Animals' at the Egyptian theatre in ... More Hollywood, California. If Dangerous Animals actor Jai Courtney has learned anything in his career, it's never to let a character's death stand in the way of a potential franchise. "I'll get quoted, so I've got to be careful here because I've put my foot in it in the past when it comes to characters returning," the Australian says with a laugh. "As a great director once told me, in this kind of world, you can break all the rules that you establish. Sequels, prequels, who knows? The important thing is that I had fun with this character. If someone wants to do it again, I'm fu**king there." The American-Australian survival horror film sees Courtney play Tucker, a shark-obsessed serial killer who kidnaps people, holds them captive on his boat, and then feeds them to the deadly predators, videotaping their gory demises. However, he meets his match when he abducts a rebellious surfer called Zephyr, played by Yellowstone's Hassie Harrison. R-rated Dangerous Animals lands exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 6, 2025. While Tucker appears to be out of the picture, his reign of terror might not be over. "He could be part of a larger group of psychos," the actor muses. "It could be the beginning of a long-running series where we explore one tape in every episode. The sky's the limit." Courtney's killer is the latest solid entry in a lineage of heinous killers in Australian horror and is arguably the best since John Jarratt's Mick Taylor in Wolf Creek. However, they're different beasts. "There are easy comparisons to make in that you're dealing with an Aussie serial killer and characters that fall into that web. That's where, thematically, the bad marriage ends," Courtney muses. "I guess there's some familiar territory between the two. Wolf Creek made a splash when it was released, and I think it opened up a world that people were perhaps aware of, but it was familiar and terrifying. It was enough to scare people from driving across the Nullarbor Plain in Australia or wherever it is. Dangerous Animals will probably have a similar impact. Wolf Creek has achieved contemporary iconic status, so if people enjoy this enough to group it in with that in years to come, that's something to be proud of." Similar to British bad guys in movies, an Aussie villain has a certain quality that sets them apart from American psychopaths. The Suicide Squad and Terminator Genisys actor acknowledges this and leans into it but can't quite put his finger on what the difference is. "I feel like it's something that we did just breaks the mold," he says. "When you're looking at it through a lens from America, there's a certain level of intrigue around it. We are countries with a rich history that isn't necessarily widely understood in this part of the world. Australia is synonymous with all kinds of dangerous, creepy crawlies." "The number of times I speak to someone, and they're like, 'I always wanted to go to Australia, but the flights are too long, and doesn't everything they want to kill you?' Maybe something about Dangerous Animals leans into that a little further than people want it to, but it's taking something that people want to know, and it's just far enough away from their reality that it elevates the threat." Jai Courtney in 'Dangerous Animals.' Dangerous Animals is only the third movie from director Sean Byrne, and it's the first he has filmed that he didn't write. Something that appealed to Courtney was the fact the filmmaker likes to "mash stuff up" when it comes to genre movies and "has an attachment to certain themes." "He's very musical," the actor explains. "He has an enormous appreciation for needle drops within things. I liked his work. I saw The Loved Ones when it was released years ago, and then I watched The Devil's Candy in reference to meeting him and discussing this, and I think he's an adventurous filmmaker. He really understands story, temperature, and volume when it comes to this genre. It's not a space I've played in before, so to work with someone who gets that was comforting; I had to lean on him for a lot of that because style changes when you're dealing with all the elements that will feed into the atmosphere you're going to build when you watch a movie, particularly in this world." "I urge people to see this in a cinema because our sound design is so huge. The experience of being out on the water, with all that industrial material clanging and banging, adds up to a visceral experience and the threat we're dealing with. You've got to adapt to a little bit of that when you're when you're performing, and it's hard to do. Having someone in the driver's seat who you know has confidence in knowing when to dial things up or down was really beneficial. It was a story he wanted to tell. Sean is such a sweetheart and is so easy to work with and collaborate with. It was also an element of coming into this and saying, 'Let me do what I want to do with it.' He's prescriptive in some ways and also very trusting. He knew I had an understanding of Tucker, even though it wasn't territory I'd ever played in before. There was something that I felt was necessary for this to work, and he allowed me to do that." A great example of that is a scene where Tucker, slightly drunk and high on a cocktail of mayhem and toxic masculinity, dances in his underwear to classic rock. There's a sexual vibe to the scene that gives off strong Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs and was a sequence created specifically for Courtney. "Sean told me the other night that apparently they wrote that in to send me the script. I don't recall the exact quote, but Troy Lum, one of our producers, mentioned that actors enjoy having a moment where they're behind the curtain. They were trying to find a beat that felt completely self-indulgent yet distinct from the performance. Tucker is a very performative character with everyone, and he's this guy who loves the sound of his own voice. I think the dance intended to give him space to have a party on his own. We don't see a lot of that because we're with him and another character for most of the movie in some way or another. It was out of my comfort zone and completely unrehearsed and unchoreographed. It was just me, Shelley Farthing-Dawe, our director of photography and the camera operator. He got in there handheld, in that sort of galley in Tucker's kitchen, and he's having a little party. We just went for it. We cranked up the old Aussie anthem, Evie by Stevie Wright, and blasted it twice in a row, and that was that. We all went home." Jai Courtney in 'Dangerous Animals.' Next on Courtney's schedule after Dangerous Animals is War Machine, which he also shot in his native Australia. Not much is known about Netflix's science fiction action film, in which he co-stars with, among others, Alan Ritchson, best known for his titular lead role in Prime Video's hit Jack Reacher TV show. Courtney, of course, starred in the 2012 Jack Reacher movie headlined by Tom Cruise and had his eye on a return to the Reacherverse via the small screen. "I've seen the show, and I remember when that was casting, I was like, 'Wait, I'm big enough to play Jack Reacher,' and they were like, 'No, that's too close to home,' which was a bummer at the time," he laughs. "I never got to look in." "Alan's great in that, and he's great in War Machine. I admire that dude and what he's doing. It's weirdly cool to see big, burly blokes getting roles because there was such a fear for a while. I know we've always had iconic action stars with certain physiques, but as someone who's not small, it's nice to see dudes in dramatic roles who aren't getting pigeonholed so much. He's getting a chance to do that with a lot of the work he's setting up, so props to him," the Dangerous Animals actor concludes. "I can't wait to see how that movie does."

Dangerous Animals is a ripper of an Aussie survival horror
If you want blood, you've got it! Like the best of big-screen treats, this Australian nerve-shredder seems to have arrived from out of nowhere to give the summer, well, a bit of bite. How apt that in Jaws ' 50th anniversary year we get a movie that's part loving tribute and part transgressive offspring, anchored by two brilliant leads and with outré fun by the boatload. The tight-as-a-drum plot sees Jai Courtney's career-best villain meet his match in Hassie Harrison's teeth-baring hero - one of the knockout action performances of recent years. Try to avoid all the trailers and just dive right into the mayhem because Dangerous Animals delivers cliffhanger after cliffhanger and gets the job done with the kind of vim and viciousness that's lesser spotted in cinemas these days. Way back when it would've been half of a stonking double bill. All going well, director Sean Byrne and his two stars will have their pick of jobs after this. They've put many a mega-budget project to shame. Far-fetched? Sure! Over the top? Whatever you're having yourself! Coincidence Central? That too! But folks, anyone who loves a bit of deep-water divilment will get a kick out of this film.

Brains vs. guts: Dangerous Animals cast relied on their instincts in new shark thriller
'People don't understand the hierarchy of animals in this world,' Tucker, a serial killer played by Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad), says in the new shark thriller Dangerous Animals. The eccentric Tucker explains how people think with their guts instead of their brains when the '300 razor-sharp teeth' from a shark are tearing at someone's flesh. Courtney had to trust his instincts to play a sadistic sociopath like Tucker. 'I'm a very gut instinct-driven person,' Courtney tells Digital Trends about his character choices in Dangerous Animals. 'Some people operate really cerebrally, and it's all about logic. I'm much more impulsive, and that all stems from here [pointing to gut].' Recommended Videos Directed by Sean Byrne, Dangerous Animals is a mash-up between a survival horror and a psychological thriller. Yellowstone's Hassie Harrison plays Zephyr, a free-spirited surfer looking to run away from her past. One night, Zephyr is kidnapped by Tucker, the rambunctious owner of a shark cage diving business. Tucker uses the business as a front for his nefarious passion: feeding his guests to sharks. Trapped on a boat with a serial killer, Zephyr must survive long enough to figure out a way back to shore before she becomes chum in the water. Zephyr's only hope lies with a kind stranger she previously bonded with, Moses (Dune: Prophecy's Josh Heuston). Below, the cast of Dangerous Animals discusses their time at the Cannes Film Festival, the physicality required for each role, and whether they rely on their brains or guts when acting. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Digital Trends: How was Cannes? Jai Courtney: It was such an unexpected gift to us to be able to go and showcase this. What an honor. I've never been to Cannes. Never experienced that. I think we were all surprised. It's not the most typical choice to have a shark serial killer survival thriller mashup there, but it's a testament to the wonderful film that Sean directed. Josh Heuston: Incredible, really. Hassie Harrison: We're still processing it all. Was it your first time? Harrison: Yes, that was our first time. I think it was just so surreal to go to Cannes and have a movie premiere there. Also, for it to be so well received was just the loveliest thing. So it's your first time with a standing ovation. Does it move from gratitude to awkwardness? Courtney: It started with awkwardness. We were so proud of the movie, and the audience was so on board the whole time. To have that reception, I was totally embarrassed. I was literally telling people to cut it [motioning to his throat]. I've got producers down the wing being like, 'Let it happen.' And I'm like, 'All right. Are we good, everyone? That's enough. Should we all get to the bar?' Heuston: So fast for me. [Laughs] Harrison: I just want to say Australians don't really love attention and compliments. I get it. Sometimes, it can feel like people are singing Happy Birthday to you on repeat, and you're like, 'Ohh.' Heuston: I just didn't know where to put my hands. Harrison: [Laughs] That is our job as actors. Heuston: Yeah, but then I hugged everyone like four times, and I didn't know what to do. [Laughs] I was fascinated by one of Tucker's speeches. This idea of how humans think with their brains and guts. Outside of a shark situation, as actors, when you're developing characters and on screen, do you find yourself relying on your brains or your guts? Have you found a happy marriage between the two? Courtney: I'm a very gut instinct-driven person, like a lot of sacral energy. I have to feel like something is a 'hell yes' or a 'hell no.' I think the brain gets in the way of that sometimes. Some people operate really cerebrally, and it's all about logic. I'm much more impulsive, and that all stems from here [pointing to gut]. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm always making the right move, but I've learned to trust that. It's how I have to approach life. Harrison: I think you gotta listen to your instincts. That's how you keep your nose to the joy trail. We need our brains to function in the world as well. I think what you're saying is ultimately about listening to your heart. Heuston: As an actor, I guess you use your brain to do all your prep work and your research. You figure out and learn as much as possible about the character and the given circumstance. At the end of the day, you've got to wing it and go with your instincts and your gut. Yeah, I feel that's kind of the way. Did you trust your gut for that dancing scene? Courtney: Yeah. I mean, that thing was two takes, totally improvised. I might have had a couple of little whiskies just to loosen myself up. Sean said it was on a Friday, so it was the last thing you did. Courtney: It was the last thing we did that week. We didn't know what it was going to be. We had an idea like, OK, it's about this celebration for Tucker. Sean wanted me to let loose. We pumped that track up that he [Tucker] danced to, which is an Aussie classic, Evie. I didn't know it was going to happen either, but I had to get myself into a mindset of stepping outside my comfort zone. Don't be afraid to look ridiculous. Zephyr, the character, is a free spirit. She looks to be having the time of her life. Obviously, she's damaged on the inside. She lives in that van; it's her cage. To get into that cage, what was your way of finding that character? Harrison: Zephyr's pretty close to home for me. I've always been attracted to playing strong, resilient women. I loved that she's a fighter. Her strength … I think I had a fast track in. She lives so close to home for me. What stuck with me is the physicality of this movie. All of the strenuous activity — going out on the line over the water, the night shoots, etc. How did you find a way into this character through the physicality and the strenuous activity? Heuston: I was in that harness for like two or three days. By the end of it, you're truly in there. As I was saying before, you feel much more grounded in that experience. You are getting taken across with the crane and then dunked in the water and then taken back out. You're doing it on repeat, and that is physically draining, just like Moses would be in that moment. I loved it though, to be fair, in like a really sadistic way. [Laughs] It hurt, but it was like really fun. What about you, Hassie? Harrison: Yeah, this was a very physically demanding role, to say the least. All the water stuff — filming out on the ocean, not in a tank — it gives you so much as an actor to just dig into that discomfort. Being in the ocean at night when you're genuinely scared makes my job easier. There's a fearlessness required to play Tucker. How did you go to that place, to really let yourself go and find the courage to do what's required to play this character? Courtney: I came from theater, and one of the earliest things you learn to adopt when you're playing on stage is you have to shed this fear of being ridiculous or looking like the clown. It's almost like you have to embrace that. Be unafraid to fall. You're not going to make every right choice. You have to look like an idiot. But what that injects into young performers is you can be nimble. There's nothing at stake here other than an opportunity to find something new. I knew with this role that it had to be big. It's all there on the page for me to sink my teeth into. If it was reduced down to playing some wash of an evil guy, it becomes uninteresting, and we believe it less. It had to stem from the truth. He had to be this wounded child within. I wanted to flood him with this performer that we see on the boat because he's the captain of Tucker's experience. This is all real stuff. It's not all geared toward his killings. He runs a successful business, which is why he's able to hide in plain sight. I wanted that to feel real to me like him taking the stage on the back deck and the way he sheds his wisdom, even if he does love the sound of his own voice too much. He needed to be somewhat of an affable presence as well as a threat. That's interesting. Now, I think of him [Tucker] as a theater performer. The boat is his stage. Courtney: I mean, we've all met this guy before in some way or another. He's the cab driver that won't shut up. He's the uncle at the wedding that like… Please stay away. Courtney: Exactly! We know this guy, and that's what sprung off the page for me. I've spent time in the pub with this dude. I don't necessarily want to be around him anymore, but I can lock into who he is. I love the power dynamics between Jai's character and Hassie's character. You're [Jai] pretty much in control in the beginning. Then, she starts to get under your skin, and it flips, where she's the one in power. Take me through those conversations about the power shifting throughout the movie. Courtney: I think it's just understanding how to shift the status. She plays such a strong character within herself. I think that's the thing. She really gets under his skin because she doesn't necessarily relent to his kind of threats and certainly not his charms. That's a tough thing for a guy like Tucker because he feels akin to her in some way. He's under the belief that spiritually, they see the world in the same way and operate in unison somehow, and she doesn't believe that at all. I think she has her own wounds, but ultimately, she's got a much stronger mind than him. Harrison: I think it's really just one of those classic tales of cat and mouse. That's what makes it so fun when you get those little wins and then get the setbacks. Jai is just a powerful person, indeed. [Laughs] It's cool to go toe-to-toe with him and do that dance. Even walking into the room, he's [Jai] such a big figure. So loud. Heuston: Big dude, and he's such a generous actor, though, so it makes it so easy to do those scenes. Dangerous Animals is exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 6.
