Product Description

In the quiet of the country, a sick, twisted man kidnaps young adults in the dark of night, binds them by heavy chain to stalls in an isolated barn. They are trained to obey with torture, broken like horses, prepared for merciless slaughter. Their screeches of pain go ignored - many others were once here, many more will arrive. But one batch of prisoners has the chance to escape. Too bad they've underestimated their killer...

Special Feature(s): Widescreen, A View from the Crate: The Making of Live Animals, Deleted Scenes, Behind the Digital Curtain

D. Gorman "Crystalline Structure Moon"

pretty decent for a cheap Hostel rip-off

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

okay, for an american redneck rip-off of the Hostel movies, this was not too bad. so, somewhere down south a redneck captures 20-something-year-olds, tortures them, breaks them, crates them up, then sells them as slaves...a pretty blatant rip-off of the Hostel movie genre, but not as elegant (in that bloody, gruesome way). this movie was still fairly well done. i didn't really recognize any of the actors, but i don't get to the movies as often as i should. the premise is pretty much the same as all the movies in this new shock genre. like the Hostel movies, this flick would have benefitted from a lot more torture and gore...there was a certain amount of blood, which was nice...a little bit of brief nudity...there were some brutal and nasty moments. the premise was handled well, with a good script and acting on everyone's part that pulled the story together. i've seen other Saw and Hostel movie rip-offs lately that really failed to pull off their original intent. this movie was fairly well written, acted admirably by everyone...and although more torture and mayhem would have been nice, it is a flick that deserves to be seen. the movie starts with the kids getting captured during a party that starts outside...after opening with a glimpse at the main antagonist...the capture scene was very good...then after the kids see what they are up against, of course they try to escape. i won't tell you whether or not they succeed...i don't want to ruin the movie for you. so to wrap up, as far as the new influx of shock movies based on the popularity of Saw & Hostel goes, this is a pretty decent rip-off of the genre...it's not as good or elegant as Hostel...it certainly isn't as good or as brutal or nasty as any of the Saw movies...but it is a decent stab at the genre...fairly well written, directed and acted...where Hostel deserves 8 out of 10 chainsaws, and the original Saw deserves 10 out of 10 chainsaws...in my psycho rating, i would almost give this flick a solid 7 chainsaws...almost. pretty good...grab a chainsaw and watch it with someone you love.

Definitely a "Nail-Biter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

This one is definitely a nail-biter. It is billed as a film horror fans will enjoy if they liked "Hostel" and "Saw". I agree. The difference between this flick and "Hostel" is that the action here is non-stop. "Hostel" was a little slow getting off the ground. "Live Animals" took off from the get-go. What separates this one from other horror films in this genre is the acting. The cast of John Still, Christian Walker, Jeannette Comans, Stacy Still and Patrick Cox as "Edgar" is superb. Very convincing. Horror buffs should take a chance on this one. You won't be disappointed.

NOT BAD

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

This movie is okay, not excellent or anything to get very excited about, but at a low price it's worth a look. It's a basically a movie about white slavery and revenge. The "animals" are kidnapped teens who are locked in barn stalls awaiting a customer to look them over. There are some vicious scenes, but the tension comes primarily from the escape attempts and the final chase/fight. This is not like Hostel or Saw, comparisons do not rate. If you are looking for an off-beat frightening brutal escape/chase movie I'd recommend getting High Tension instead of this.

Good Indy Movie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

For an Indy horror movie, it'w pretty good. Makeup is above average for the budget, and if you like suspenseful horror movies, it is believable because this kind of stuff really does happen.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2010

Wouldn't recommend watching or purchasing this movie. It had good reviews, but it wasn't entertaining at all. There was no story, and it wasn't scary or disturbing. Don't believe the good reviews, someone's just trying to make a sale. I fell for it, but I have a habit of buying crap movies in hopes of finding a jewel in a pile of rubble...anyways, this isn't one of them.

Horrible movie. Horrible acting. Excessively melodramatic. Very predictable plot. One of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.

L'espèce humaine est l'espèce animale la plus évoluée sur terre, mais n'est t'elle pas la pire de toute ?
A croire que nous avons vraiment de la jouissance à nous auto-detruire entre nous.
