Dangerous Animals
Synopsis
SFF is delighted to welcome back Aussie genre ace Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones; The Devil’s Candy, SFF 2015) with this breathlessly exciting shark horror serial killer thriller. Primal fear strikes from the moment we meet Tucker (Jai Courtney, Stateless), an aggressively friendly Gold Coast ocean tour guide who also happens to be a shark-fixated serial killer. Harrison shines in the leading role of Zephyr, a fiercely independent and resourceful surfer whose endless summer chasing waves comes to a terrifying halt when she crosses paths with the smiling psycho. Gripping psychological drama, pulse-pounding horror and spectacular action make this a memorable journey to the dark depths of the ocean and the human mind.
Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
