Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Woodyanders A group of friends venture into the deep woods for a weekend getaway. Things go nightmarishly awry when the group find themselves trapped in a remote cabin by a ferocious bloodthirsty monster.Director Brett Simmons keeps the familiar, yet still effective and engrossing story moving at a brisk pace, makes nice use of the beauteous sylvan setting, builds a considerable amount of tension, maintains a grimly serious tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and stages the attack scenes with savage aplomb. The compact script by Thommy Hutson and Catherine Trillo draws the characters with some depth, offers a few bleak insights into the darker aspects of human nature, and isn't quite as predictable as one might expect given the tried'n'true premise. The sturdy acting by the able cast keeps this movie humming: Joey Lauren Adams as the feisty Vicky, Elizabeth Gillies as the vain Mandy, Jeremy Sumpter as the noble Matt, Keke Palmer as the sassy Alissa, Patrick Young as macho jerk Jeff, Paul Iacono as obnoxious third wheel Sean, Amaury Nolasco as cynical coward Douglas, and Thorsten Kaye as the pragmatic Carl. The filmmakers deserve extra props for going with a funky old school guy in a monster suit over cruddy CGI. Scott Wining's crisp widescreen cinematography and the spirited shivery score by tomandandy are both up to par. A worthy beast feast.

Diane Ruth Chiller Films has brought to the screen one of the truly original and thrilling horror films of the last decade with Animal. Screenwriters Thommy Hutson and Catherine Trillo script is nothing short of brilliant and realized by the gifted director Brett Simmons, it results in a motion picture unlike anything ever produced in this genre. Superb performances from an esteemed cast of actors serve to enhance this excellent production to such an extent that this is the sort of cinema one is accustomed to see coming from a major studio. Unique in its vision and a stunning horror film of extraordinary power, Animal is certainly more than a movie. It is a cinematic event.

Michael Peterson I wasn't expecting anything it being on Netflix and all, but I really enjoyed it. The effects were well done and I'll even give it an extra point for it not being a shaky-cam found footage film! This is the first Chiller film I've seen and now I'm going to search for more hoping the quality is up with this one. The acting was good even though the stereotypes were the same as every other group of teenagers film. Clearly some money was spent on this and another point for it being a real production instead of made by film student in their back yard. I hope Chiller creates more like this as they will have a fan instead of that horrible stuff the SyFy channel is serving up. I thought the creature was very cool and really well done and that helped the picture all around. Nice job!

Hank Chinaski I'm always looking for a good horror movie on Netflix(it ain't easy). I check IMDb for user reviews and usually they're fairly accurate, but not this time. For this turd I saw a lot of 10s ( I realize now they must have been written by cast members). My main problem was none of the characters actions rang true and it becomes increasingly annoying. To the point where its a distraction. I know, i know, its a horror movie. But its bad. Its just so so bad. Whoever directed this should reconsider their career choice. For some reason the above writing is not enough text to be submitted. The following is filler. To meet a text quota
