Dangerous Animals
Short description
A free-spirited surfer named Zephyr is kidnapped by a serial killer who possesses a fixation on sharks. Held prisoner on his boat in the open ocean, she must use her wits to find a way to escape before her captor uses her as part of a ritual feeding for the predators in the water.

What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, numerous lighting fixtures were installed on the boat – both inside and outside – so that the actors could move freely without worrying about the angle.
- The filmmakers decided not to use mechanical sharks and instead used footage of real predators.
- On the advice of director Sean Byrne, Jai Courtney spent a lot of time at the aquarium preparing for his role, in order to better understand shark behavior.
