In a small island community, a troubled young woman falls for a mysterious outsider who empowers her to escape her oppressive family. When he comes under suspicion for a series of brutal murders she defends him at all costs and learns what she is capable of.
A string of unsolved murders, a new love interest, a haunting score, and flashes of gripping performances are all put on display in the 2:25 trailer for the upcoming horror/thriller, Beast. What looks to be a very limited cast and scope, this movie seems to place a big importance on tension and style. Even the way the pull-quotes are illustrated into the frame stand out as a very deliberate, stylistic choice. This movie is going to be a major thrill ride, and I’m already sitting shotgun with no seat belt on.
Beast had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival and is now playing in limited release.
