It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I am very open minded, and i like a lot of movies, even poor ones, but seriously, Andreas Wilsons acting in this movie is so bad that its just ridiculous, nay, its beyond ridiculous. It is bad, real bad. It is painful to watch, paaaaaainful. The movie itself could have been interesting if the acting was not so unbelievably weak. I Would have given it a 1, but because the serial killer guys acting was the best part of the movie it gets a 2! I am also from Sweden and i just wanted to bash his head for sucking so hard at acting, how the hell can anyone even hire this guy? And he tries it international, ha ha...dude.Do not watch this horrible movie unless you wanna suffer, it is really that bad, believe me.

Animal is a curious movie. It's a kind of Sci-Fi thriller about the violence and the evilness that exits in nature. The animals have this instinct to kill in order to survive, but "man is the only one that kills for pleasure".A genetic scientist (Andreas Wilson) will try to change this tendency to violence in the Human nature doing a new experience in a serial killer (Diogo Infante) who brutally killed some young girls. This "treatment" is expected to turn him into a pacific person eliminating his "killer instinct"
It's the topic of this film, and the original idea is quite good I must say, because it relates a very polemic topic: is it ethically correct that genetics might change the most deeply characteristics of the Human nature, like love, hate, anger, rage, kindness?
it's all part of our nature! The most interesting part of the film is precisely put the viewer thinking about this issue, but the rest of the movie is not so good
In my opinion all story turns a bit superficial, because the main characters aren't as deep as they should be.

I've just seen this movie in FantasPorto (Oporto International Film Festival) and it won the best script award and the Melíes d'Argent award for Fantasy Film. The action is set in the near future and as the Director/Author/Screenwriter (Roselyne Bosch) says it is not a Science Fiction movie but rather an anticipation, seeing the science portrayed in this movie is only a few steps away. The scenarios of the film are set in Portugal, in the Imaginarium (a centre for science discovery) and in the Ocenario (a sort of sea aquarium) and in other locations around the country. The acting is very good, especially Diogo Infante who plays an outstanding serial killer. Overall I recommend this movie, it's quite good.

Using the brain as main enemy in every parts of relation ship and life commitments, Roselyne Bosch drives the audience in a flow of great photography, addictive actors (especially the yummy girl) and well balanced actions. You think you can cure others ? Beware of what you are first. A film to see, especially if you guys are, like many of us, trying often to mimic animals to accept their rage, jealousness and way of life : instinct first. Even if you are the smarter one, you can loose yourself at playing this. After providing nice scripts (1492...), Roselyne shows us she can definitely manage a filmcrew to deserve her project. Mr Goldman did not think wrong when accepting to produce this movie. A man with Casino listed in his produced movies listing cannot be wrong.
