Hyenas

The film constructs its mythology from folklore shapeshifter tales to explore the loss of humanity under the weight of vengeance. It relies on the hyena as a potent metaphor for a primal, ugly predation that resides within.

What lingers after the credits is a visceral, skin-crawling sense of being watched from the shadows, a reminder of the ancient fear of the predator that wears a familiar face. The line between hunter and hunted dissolves into a cycle of bloody retribution. — MovieFinder Editorial
