When the most dangerous animal is not a shark but a human being

Another spin-off returns to theaters Shark? Not exactly. In Dangerous animals, the sharks are the special guests, the icing on the cake of a disturbing party in which the dangerous animals are humans. The whole thing is about a serial killer in a tour guide suit who shows sharks too closely and justifies his crimes with disbelievable discursive contortions (remember the antagonist ofHeretic?). One of his potential victims resists being so much that he becomes the protagonist of the story.

The proposal has more than thriller action and a fight for survival than a horror film that creates unsettling atmospheres or strings together scares. The journey is suitably grueling, with peaks of great intensity, and culminates in a long and agonizing outcome. The proposal doesn't have many distinctive elements beyond its suggestive premise, but the result is competent and potentially exciting. Along the way, Australian director Sean Byrne (The devil's candy) and his team include some self-aware notes about the murky voyeuristic component of films about female captivity. And they also sidestep the potential obscure warning about the risks of being women. too much autonomous, but they add a lesson: you can be one of the final girls toughest in recent audiovisuals and, at the same time, overcome emotional blocks to open yourself to love.
