A visionary thriller from director Thomas Cailley, Magnet’s The Animal Kingdom drops us into an extraordinary world where mutations in human genetics cause people to transform into hybrid creatures. Think Clive Barker’s Nightbreed meets modern arthouse cinema.
Magnet will release the film in theaters and on VOD March 15th, 2024.
Watch the official trailer for The Animal Kingdom below. From acclaimed director Thomas Cailley, the film world premiered as the opening night selection of Cannes Un Certain Regard.
In The Animal Kingdom, “François (Roman Duris) does everything he can to save his wife, who is affected by this mysterious condition. As some of the creatures disappear into a nearby forest, François embarks with Emile (Paul Kircher), their 16-year-old son, on a quest to find her with help from a local police officer (Adèle Exarchopoulos).”
Thomas Cailley and Pauline Munier wrote the screenplay.
