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.

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.

the actors are great, wild, and some scenes are so hot. andreas Wilson is wild as an animal. the directing is amazing, especially for a first time director. it's a real thriller and real sci fi at same time. with the type of future completely new and credible. no gadget there. strange and spectacular. not the cheap/trendy usual look of most indies. the director shows she KNOWS how to do this. sometimes, you get the feeling that new directors are filming with the "amateur" style, because they CANT do it in a different fashion. not with "animal". i glad i made that discovery. and also: it deals with violence, but does not crawl into it. a class act. wish more filmmakers had so much respect for their audience, these days...
