Film Influencer 2025 - Dangerous Animals

Dangerous Animals is a 2025 

What is with Aussie survival horrors in 2025? Bring her Back, the rebooted I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ok so it's a US film, however filmed here, with an Aussie crew, including my neighbours GF.

So back to Dangerous Animals.

The film directed by Sean Byrne and written by Nick Lepard. Starring Hassie Harrison, Josh Heuston, Rob Carlton, Ella Newton, Liam Greinke & new villain energy by Jai Courtney.

Dangerous Animals had its premiere at the Directors' Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival last month, then landing on Aussie screens this Thursday.

Dangerous Animals has received generally positive reviews from critics. With Hassie Harrison as Zephyr playing a solid lead with Jai Courtney as Tucker, almost giving Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) backpacker hater energy.

Heartbreak High hunk and real life model, Josh Heuston as Moses is a sweet real estate agent come hero, while Ella Newton as Heather & Liam Greinke as Greg star in the terrifying opening scene.

Aussie legend, Rob Carlton (who recently was spotted on the third White Lotus scene) plays Dave. Who is usually drunk on a boat next to Tuckers.

Basic plot? Trapped on a killer’s boat with hungry sharks circling below, a surfer must outwit a predator more dangerous than the ocean itself. Thi is Sean Byrne third visceral feature.

OK so part shark film, part crazy ass Aussie killer horror film. This was actually way better and more crazy than I expected.

It also doesn't out stay it's welcome at just over an hour and a half.

For anyone who needs more local horror after Bring Her Back. This is fairly damn good.

Dangerous Animals rates a heart stopping 3 Stars. Yes I jumped in my seat multiple times. Great to see a few good local films at the cinemas back-to-back!
