5.0 out of 5 starsExquisite
By Ginger Nuts TOP 100 REVIEWER on 16 Sept. 2015
Format: DVD
This movie is an exquisite gem; full of dark, mystifying patterns pulling us into its bewitching depths. Some films grab you by the throat and won’t let go, while others firmly grip your hand and lead you gently into the wild fairy forest, but the result is the same: you cannot turn back and indeed you do not want to.

When Animals Dream has many nuances to its storyline but at heart it is a coming of age tale that is both tragic and comic. There is much suffering and numerous trials for our main character Marie, played exceptionally well by Sonia Suhl. Marie’s father and partner in suffering is Thor, actor Lars Mikkelson, a phenomenal performer with much experience, including playing an outstandingly despicable villain on an episode of the Sherlock Holmes TV series. Marie’s mother, Mor, we learn right away has some malady that requires routine injections and keeps her bound to a wheel chair, unable to do anything for herself. Together, Marie and her father must do everything for Mor; feed her, bathe her, and dress her.

In the opening scene Marie has a rash above her left breast that the doctor is inspecting and he inquires as to what other symptoms she may be experiencing and assesses Marie for any indication that her mother’s disease is blossoming in her as well. The story takes place in a small coastal town in Denmark where fishing is the economy. Marie has her first day with a new job at the local fishery, cleaning and filleting fish that are brought in. She is quickly friended by her coworkers Felix and Daniel, but another coworker, Esben, upset that Marie is not showing a liking for him, decides to become her tormentor.Read more ›

HASH(0xa035b540) out of 5 stars When Animals Dream 11 May 2015
By DJ Deathwish - Published on Amazon.com
A young woman is trying to lead a normal life but finds it difficult as her body starts to experience odd changes and soon people start showing up dead. This may just be the best werewolf movie I’ve seen since Ginger Snaps, and I love me some Ginger Snaps. The movie is just beautiful in an exceedingly melancholy way with the dark skies and crashing ocean waves. The lead is just so lovely and carries a sadness about her that just draws you in to her little world. This is definitely a horror movie but contains high elements of drama and mystery which come from a very well written story. It’s really well directed, had a low runtime that just flew by, and just did a lot of interesting things in general. Beautiful, somber, haunting, this is one film that I greatly enjoyed on every level.

HASH(0x9ffb299c) out of 5 stars WHEN ANIMALS DREAM is a film with more depth and humanity than one usually sees in werewolf movies.... 11 Sept. 2015
By Micah, the movie lover - Published on Amazon.com

I really enjoyed watching WHEN ANIMALS DREAM. I have watched other Danish films and I've found that I personally have loved almost everyone I have seen. This one is no different. It's such a departure from the typical "werewolf" movie, that I found it extremely refreshing and much more a
"human" story and not just a "creature feature'. It centers around a small family living in a small community where everyone pretty much knows everyone else. The family consists of a mom, dad and a teenage daughter and you see very early on in the film that the mother is suffering from some kind of disease that is debilitating. She has a doctor who drops by from time to time to give her injections for her disease.The daughter starts working at the local fishery to bring in some money and as time goes by, it is clear that the daughter seems to have inherited the same illness that her mother has. All of this is handled beautifully in this film and the viewer has plenty of time to "get to know" this family and to care very much about their plight. For me, this is one of the best werewolf movies I've seen. I loved GINGER SNAPS, but it had alot more comedy and this movie is all drama and psychological thriller along with some excellent effects and violence when the "wolf" is aroused or angry. The actors are wonderful, as is the cinematography which highlights the dismal quality of the every day lives of the people who live in the town. One grows to care very much for "Anna's" situation and roots for her to escape, in some way, from the inevitability of her "illness". I would highly recommend this movie for people who want to witness a more human touch and story than the standard werewolf film.

HASH(0x9fefe1a4) out of 5 stars Horrifying and Heartbreaking 6 Sept. 2015
By suzietoo - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
I watched this excellent movie to the end for its difference in plot and it's wonderful acting. I saw a painfully shy girl from a home where, at first I thought her mother, who was in a wheelchair, had Alzheimer's Disease, but it was far different. She and her father, excellently played by Lars Mikkelsen, take care of her, while a doctor visits occasionally, and administers shots of a drug of some sort. Graduallly, tragically, we learn the truth, and now, the daughter has the strange condition. I'll not go further with any spoilers, but be prepared for an emotional ride. This was an excellent movie.

HASH(0x9fee95a0) out of 5 stars First Danish Werewolf movie for me! :) 7 Sept. 2015
By Randy C. - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
Personally I was slightly apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but I was actually impressed after watching it, this was actually very nicely done, and it had my attention the entire time, and my wife's too. There was really no new werewolf stuff, nothing groundbreaking, that is, but if you like these types of movies, then this is a really good one, not hokey, not really low-budget looking, or anything that is negative. The make-up effects were really different, and I was impressed that they came up with that, it wasn't much, but it didn't take much to get the point across, and it made sense too. :) The acting was good, and the scenery/mood/tone was too.
Anyway, I'd actually give this 3-1/2 stars if I could, I would almost give it 4 stars, and some might, and it may be, but that might be a little much.
I liked it, and it was (almost) on par with, "Let the Right One In", not, "Let me In", the remake, I REALLY liked that, and this is about right up there with that, almost...
You'll more than likely will really like this movie, I've seen so much crap lately, it's really refreshing to see something that not only holds your attention. They actually cared about making a movie, rather than just trying to make some money, like having teen girls trip when trying to escape, stupid scare tactics, etc. :) This was one of the more realistic wolf movies I've seen actually, it makes sense.

HASH(0x9fc4b78c) out of 5 stars Good werewolf movie. 30 Aug. 2015
By P. G. McFinnigan - Published on Amazon.com
Verified Purchase
Let's be honest; any fan of werewolf movies know that they're not going to get the most mind-boggling plot ever. American Werewolf in London/Paris? Great werewolf movies, B movies at best in any other genre. It's a monster movie; a guilty pleasure. That's what this movie is. The plot doesn't contain many points and all of them are obvious. The actors and actresses do a good job playing their part, and their personalities stand out fairly well, and I liked the monster makeup.

**SPOILER ABOUT THE MAKEUP**

Now part of the fun of werewolf movies is seeing what they decided to make them look like. They're different across the board. So if you want the spoiler ahead (and why I like it), than read on. If you want to see for yourself and the movie sounds good, I'd just watch the movie.

I like the makeup because it does "human werewolf" very well. I like the more wolf-like werewolves too (like on American Werewolf in Paris), but I was never fond of the "humans with a wolf head." It looks way too much like a Halloween costume, and not like a good movie werewolf. This one is basically just hairy on the sides and forehead, not so much the whole front, with a human face. Even the "claws" aren't over done.

**MINOR KINDA STORY SPOILER; SKIP IF YOU ARE GONNA WATCH THE MOVIE**

One thing I like about the movie that sets it a part from a lot of werewolf movies (not all) is that the altered state (only shown much at the end, really) feels more animalistic than most other werewolf films, because it seems neutral. There's no inherent drive to kill or to not kill like in many other werewolf movies. So it's more a reaction to how she is treated. Reminds me more of things in real nature, human or otherwise.
