The Fox
Jai Courtney (Dangerous Animals, SFF 2025) stars as Nick, a small-town, himbo fox catcher and heir to a large estate. But his personal life is a mess – his fiancée, Kori (Browning, Sleeping Beauty, SFF 2011), is caught sleeping with her boss, Derek (Damon Herriman, Together, SFF 2025), who is the husband of her best friend Diana (Claudia Doumit, The Boys). This entangled foursome of adultery and toxic relationships gets upended when Nick catches a mysterious Fox (voiced by Colman) who promises him the perfect wife in exchange for freedom. Nick accepts the Fox’s proposal but soon gets more than he bargained for. A devilish folktale made with remarkable animatronic puppetry for the titular Fox and Magpie (Neill).
