Philip De Semlyen Time Out 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. It’ll keep horror fans out of the water for years. Rated: 4/5 May 22, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It’s an efficient, clever genre mash-up that works because of how well Byrne blocks its action, employs an old-fashioned score, and directs his actors to visceral performances. Rated: 3/4 May 21, 2025 Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable Jai Courtney is a rip-roaring force of nature in Dangerous Animals. May 21, 2025 Full Review Lyvie Scott Inverse A sharksploitation thriller for the ages. May 30, 2025 Full Review Shannon McGrew Creepy Kingdom Featuring a career-best performance from Jai Courtney, impressively choreographed fights, nail-biting tension, and, of course, sharks, this is easily one of the best summer thrillers you’ll see this year. Rated: 4/5 May 29, 2025 Full Review Joshua Ryan FandomWire Sean Byrne is a master of the genre. His distinctly unique voice breathes new life into the rote shark subgenre. Rated: 8/10 May 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
