Scream Factory bringing Drew Barrymore-produced Animal to DVD/Blu-ray

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Earlier this year Chiller's creature feature ANIMAL, which was produced by Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen’s Flower Films banner, became the networks highest rated original movie to date, and now we've learned that the gang at Scream Factory is set to unleash the terror as they bring ANIMAL to DVD and Blu-ray next year.

We first heard word on the Drew Barrymore-produced Chiller original film ANIMAL back in June of last year when the horror network announced two of their upcoming features that they had added to their 2014 line-up. We later learned that Keke Palmer had signed on to topline the cast, joining hip-hop star-turned-actress Eve (BARBERSHOP), Amaury Nolasco ("Prison Break"), Parker Young (ENLISTED), Joey Lauren Adams (CHASING AMY), Elizabeth Gillies ("Victorious"), Paul Iacono ("The Hard Times of R.J. Berger"), Thorsten Kaye ("Smash") and Jeremy Sumpter ("Friday Night Lights'). Not a bad cast for a Chiller original film at all!

Now the film is set to hit home video as Scream Factory will be releasing it on DVD and Blu-ray on February 17, 2015. Bonus features on the release will be announced by the end of the year, so keep checking in.

Animal follows a group of close-knit friends who find themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, pursued by a blood-thirsty predator. Holed up in isolated cabin, tensions mount as secrets are revealed. As the body count rises, the group puts their differences aside and fights for survival.

Barrymore is an executive producer alongside Nancy Juvonen, and producers Chris Miller, Ember Truesdell, Kelly Smith and Thommy Hutson. Hutson and Catherine Trillo penned the script and is directed by Brett Simmons. Gary J. Tunnicliffe created the creature effects.
