Dumb Animals

About This Movie

Dumb Animals is a curious blend of documentary and horror, really. It dives deep into the fur trade, and it's got this raw tone that sticks with you. The pacing is unsettling, almost like a slow burn that makes you rethink the imagery you're seeing. You can feel the outrage, and even though it was originally tied to Greenpeace, the disowning adds a layer of complexity to its history. The practical effects on the animals are striking—they're not relying on flashy techniques, just haunting visuals that get under your skin. It’s a film that not only informs but leaves you feeling a bit disturbed. It stands out for its willingness to confront a controversial subject head-on, which is pretty rare for films from that era.
