October Horror Challenge - Dangerous Animals (2025)

I've been watching movies, but behind on posting. Instead of being longwinded I'm going to just be brief and let y'all know what I thought.

  

Synopsis
American surfer, Zephyr, is kidnapped by a shark obsessed serial killer, Tucker.

Review

This survival horror flick is a lot of fun. There's a scene towards the beginning that had me laughing my ass off. Hassie Harrison's Zephyr is a strong, independent lead. The film has some great humor. She's charismatic, strong, and doesn't take shit. Her love interest Moses (played by Josh Heuston) is sweet. While initially appearing as a creep, he add some softness to the film. Finally Jai Courtney is perfect as the antagonist, Tucker. The character had interesting motivation too. This is Courtney at his finest. And by that I mean this is Courtney at his absolutely sleeziest. That's where Courtney thrives. For a while there was a push to have him play American action heroes, like Live Free Or Die Hard, but it's his portrayals in movies like this and Suicide Squad where he really shines.
