Rating: - 3 ½ - Stars: A Horror Tale About Secrets and Familial Sins
THE BEAST WITHIN (1982) is an obscure horror film that has a very small cult following. The film is directed by Philippe Mora (Howling 2 & 3) and written by Tom Holland (Thinner) based on the novel by Edward Levy. The film is about secrets, familial sins and vengeance. The film has a very small budget, and as amazon friend Karen Shaub would say; "it's not fair to compare a B-flick to a high profile film, but B-movies have their charm..".

Rating:  - What a movie!!!
After months of putting off seeing this movie I finally caved in and purchased it, I was very excited to see the movie and boy was it worth every dollar I spent on it. The Beast Within is one of the movies that does not have to use excessive gore or violence to prove that it is a good movie, however do not let my statement throw you off as this movie does have it's fair share of violence and gore and than some!! I read tons of reviews all over the internet saying this movie is bad, and I am really baffled ... Read More
Rating: - The Beast Without a doult is awesome!
I don't know what are some people problem. This is a great classic from the 80's. The story is not bad, and the fx were good for that time. Some people are effended about the rape scene. I see more rape scene on basic tv. It's a movie do all movies have to make sense. I brought the dvd with pride, and enjoy watching it. People who are not into good horror should stop giving out bogus reviews.
