My Animal is a 2023 Canadian supernatural horror romance film directed by Jacqueline Castel in her feature directorial debut, and written by Jae Matthews.
Starring Bobbi Salvör Menuez, Amandla Stenberg, Heidi von Palleske, Cory Lipman, Charles F. Halpenny, Harrison W Halpenny, Joe Apollonio, Scott Thompson, Dean McDermott, and Stephen McHattie, the film follows a young woman who is forced by her overbearing parents to keep her lycanthropy a secret, until she begins to fall in love with a figure skater.
One full moon night during the 80's, Heather, a werewolf, transforms for the first time, attacking her human mother Patti and clawing her in the chest.
A couple years later, Heather works with her father Henry (whom she inherited the curse from) at a local diner and plays hockey with her younger twin brothers Cooper and Hardy, while Patti has turned to alcoholism.
When trying to get some stuff for her, Heather meets a young woman named Jonny (short for Jonine), a figure skater who just moved into the neighborhood with her father.
Heather joins Jonny and her friends at a visit to a casino, but as it is a full moon, she transforms soon after she tries heading home much to her parents’ dismay.
The website's consensus reads: "Jacqueline Castel's feature debut is an arresting queer and lycanthropic coming of age story that longs for more, but delivers just enough panache to satisfy.
