Prepare for a wild ride where the dangers come from above and below the water! A new horror flick, Dangerous Animals, boasting some serious talent, is gearing up to give audiences a reason to scream – and maybe stay out of the ocean for a while.

Dangerous Animals, which has just scored its summer release date, centers around the horrifying exploits of a seriously twisted shark-obsessed serial killer.

A Killer Cast

Leading the charge are Hassie Harrison, from “Yellowstone,” and Jai Courtney, known for his roles in movies like Suicide Squad. The film throws Harrison into the deep end as Zephyr, a surfer trying to outrun her past.

The movie also features talents like Josh Heuston and Ella Newton, adding more layers to this terrifying scenario. Behind the camera, Sean Byrne directs from a screenplay by Nick Lepard.

A Fight to Survive

Zephyr is in a terrifying struggle for survival after being taken by a man, a shark-obsessed serial killer, and held captive on his boat. She must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.” Talk about a gnarly situation!

This pulse-pounding trailer for Dangerous Animals looks like it’s expertly intertwining the chilling aspects of “human obsession” with the primal fear of the ocean’s deadliest predators. The trailer teases the rise of a “new species of killer,” hinting that Courtney’s character is far more than a run-of-the-mill maniac.

In the movie, “Vagabond surfer Zephyr has deserted her past to find solace in Australia’s east coast surf. After an unexpected, romantic night with another local surfer, she avoids her feelings for him by escaping to the waves. There, she is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer (Courtney) who feeds his victims to the animals below. Forced into a terrifying showdown aboard the ship and against the ravenous sharks, Zephyr enters into a twisted dance for survival with the true monster: man.

Coming This Summer

If you’re looking for a horror movie that combines the terror of the deep with the depravity of human obsession, Dangerous Animals is a “must-see.” Get ready to dive into this chilling tale when it hits theaters on June 6 from IFC Films and Shudder!
