Amandla Stenberg (Bodies Bodies Bodies) stars in the upcoming horror movie My Animal, which was acquired out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year by Paramount.
My Animal has been officially rated “R” this week for…
“Language throughout, sexual content, nudity, some drug use and violence.”
My Animal is the feature debut of director Jacqueline Castel.
Amandla Stenberg stars in the upcoming horror movie alongside Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Stephen Mchattie, Heidi Von Palleske, Cory Lipman, and Joe Apollonio.
In the film…
“Heather, an outcast teenage goalie, longs to play on the hockey team of her small northern town. She meets and falls in love with newcomer Jonny, an alluring but tormented figure skater. The girls’ relationship blossoms despite Heather’s struggles with her alcoholic mother, her hidden sexual orientation, and a familial curse that transforms her into a feral wolf under the full moon.
“Heather and Jonny’s secret tryst soon clashes against the conformity of their small community, exposing dangerous truths and igniting a passionate, violent night of personal transformation.”
Jae Matthews wrote the screenplay.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her Sundance review for BD, “My Animal defies easy categorization. The genre-bender combines horror, romance, and a strong emphasis on drama, culminating in a stylish, fascinating coming-of-age story. It operates on mood and emotion, using the werewolf mythos as a metaphor for Heather’s budding sexuality.”
