Review of Animals (2012) by Vincent P — 15 Jul 2010

If it weren't so horribly edited to the point of being incomprehensible this movie might've been decent; but so many plot points are revealed during hallucinatory montages AND in voiceover that it's never really clear if these things are actually supposed to be happening or not. I like to think that the director just forgot to film these expository scenes and had to go the voiceover route.

And dear filmmakers, if you can't afford good CGI, just don't bother. The practical effects were fine but the CGI werewolves looked more like irate ponies... and that just ain't terrifying.

On the plus side: there's plenty of sex and violence so there's little down-time. But in the end, Animals is just one big mediocre mess.
