Dangerous Animals, a gripping survival horror film shot on the iconic Gold Coast of Queensland, made waves with its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight. Directed by Sean Byrne, the film follows Zephyr, a troubled surfer who becomes the captive of a shark-obsessed serial killer.
Starring Hassie Harrison as Zephyr, Jai Courtney as the menacing Bruce Tucker, and Josh Heuston as Moses, the film has been praised for its suspenseful storytelling and powerful performances. The production faced intense challenges, including filming in open waters and real shark encounters, adding authenticity to the tense atmosphere.
After its success at Cannes, Dangerous Animals is set to hit cinemas in Australia on June 12, 2025. For an in-depth review and analysis of the film, tune into our latest podcast episode.
