Animal Room

About This Movie

Animal Room is one of those gritty dramas that pulls you right into its unsettling world. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as Arnold Mosk finds himself in the hands of a twisted gang led by Doug Van Housen. It’s that kind of high school setting that morphs into a psychological battlefield, which really highlights the themes of isolation and survival. The performances are raw, with a certain unrefined quality that adds to the film's overall intensity. The pacing varies, sometimes slow enough to let the dread sink in, but it often bursts into chaos, keeping you on edge. It captures a specific kind of youth angst that feels both familiar and disturbing, and the practical effects, though minimal, pack a punch when they’re used.
