The Netflix movie Animals will debut online on October 9.
Desperate to pay their son’s ransom, a mayoral candidate and his wife (Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington) resort to extreme measures, revealing dark secrets they never intended to bring to light.
The cast includes Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Adriana Paz and Ray Fisher.
Here is a trailer for Animals:
Thanks for the reminder — this one caught my eye because the setup flips the usual ransom story. A mayoral candidate and his wife having secrets of their own makes the tension feel less straightforward than a simple rescue plot. Affleck and Washington are a strong pairing for that kind of moral gray area, and I am curious how much the film lets the audience sympathize with them as things escalate.
The ransom setup sounds like an interesting twist on the usual thriller, and the cast looks strong for this kind of tense drama.
