Dangerous Animals

"Dangerous Animals is an Australian horror thriller that, on the surface, might seem like just another shark movie, but it’s much more than that. The story follows Zephyr (Hessie Harrison), a free-spirited surfer who is kidnapped by a serial killer (Jai Courtney) obsessed with executing women in a uniquely cruel way: using them as shark bait. Beneath its premise, however, the film offers a deconstruction of both masculine and feminine expectations in modern romantic relationships—something you wouldn’t expect to have much to do with sharks, yet it works quite well here."
