A lot depends on if given clear sentience as again many films are not accurate in how a predator would act. If an animal realizes it's in danger or someone is trying to trick it they tend to be angered. Simply taunting the prey is not automatically enough as even normal animals like house cats have "played with their food" when killing mice. The immediate roar sounds when told to "cut it out" could be just realizing the prey he's hunting. Movies tend to dramatize predators and do things out of character for true animals so just not being like the real predator isn't enough they need to either be treated as a monster akin to Jaws or giving anthropomorphic traits, for example Cujo barely counts at all and that's only due to the book giving Cujo sentience via us hearing his actual thoughts.
