## Summary

The horror film "Dangerous Animals," directed by Sean Byrne, has become a global streaming hit on Hulu after a strong theatrical run last year, benefiting from the enduring popularity of both true-crime and shark-attack genres. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025 before its theatrical release, and combines elements of "Jaws" with the psychological thrills of "Zodiac" and "The Silence of the Lambs."

The story follows a young woman, played by Hassie Harrison, who is abducted by an Australian serial killer, portrayed by Jai Courtney, who murders his victims by feeding them to sharks. Made on a reported budget of $2 million, the film went on to gross nearly $10 million at the box office, and is now finding a wider audience through streaming.
