Dangerous Animals

"There is a strong metacinematic element to all this showmanship."

"Making this work requires wit, the right tone and a ruthless sense of pace. Byrne manages all three with a sure hand."

"Taut and well crafted."

"Rattles along as effective B-movie gore."

"A truly inspiring villain whose insanity knows no bounds."

"It’s a pity that the sharks are the only ones being fed by the action."

"This film has an audience, certainly, but it feels very derivative."

"Dishes up plenty of lurid chum and puts a kickass heroine in peril."

"Has a retro nastiness to it. Occasionally, it’s pleasingly gross."

"The propulsive blend of serial killer thrills and aquatic terror makes for a high-stakes thrill ride that leaves you breathless."

"An efficient, clever genre mash-up."

"It takes a steady hand to pull off a horror film as outlandish as Dangerous Animals, but Byrne has pulled off something slick and confident here."
