When Animals Dream takes the 'werewolf = female coming-of-age' mechanic of Ginger Snaps and slows it way down, presenting it as a journey of self-discovery and familial right in a small Danish fishing village. Protagonist Marie (Sonia Suhle) suffers in near-isolation without much in the way of emotional connectivity as she suffers abuses at the hands of her coworkers and neighbors, who all seem to be strangely aware and moderately accepting of the fact that the family that lives down the street can get pretty furry and violent, albeit only when threatened. Somber in tone and light on action for the most part, many have already pointed out that a lot in this debut from director Jonas Alexander Arnby can be traced back to Let the Right One In, with the exception being that When Animals Dream has a much more one-dimensional conflict and straightforward characters. The film is slow without being subtle, which is a rather unusual combination that I doubt will bring in too many new fans; even a wholesale slaughter seems light on the tension. There are pieces that seem designed to flesh out Marie's character (including relationships with both parents and a potential love interest), but none are deep enough to give more than a surface-level depiction of her personality and fears. Ambitious but not all there. (2.5/5) See more 10/30/2018 A decent flick thats part love story, part revenge tale and part monster movie. The film was interesting. It started off being a slow burn before picking up for Act 3. See more 06/21/2017 Like so many indies you can stream, it's got more good/blah stuff than great stuff. But I've definitely seen worse. See more 02/21/2017 Boring, uneven, and too serious for its own good, When Animals Dream is a tasteless film that shows good direction and acting, but is missing an interesting story and characters to boot. See more Jason K 11/24/2016 original film, abit scattered in the way that it spends to much time on things we dont care about vs things we would like to see more about. overall a good watch and a different take on a werewolf indie.
