Ahead of its launch on Netflix next month, a new trailer for Ben Affleck’s thriller film Animals has arrived.
The story of Animals follows Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mark Kimball and his wife Abigail—portrayed by Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington, respectively—as they’re forced to contend with the kidnapping of their son. The latest trailer for the movie paints a tense atmosphere, showing just how far the couple is willing to go to save their son.
