Beast

About This Movie

So, 'Beast' from 2014 is one of those films that kind of sticks with you. Set in this eerie rural suburbia, it follows two hunters who don’t just chase animals, but target people they consider socially disposable. The tone is bleak and gritty, and the atmosphere feels really suffocating, almost claustrophobic. It leans heavily into the horror of human depravity. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in the unsettling vibe and the performances are raw and visceral, which adds to that palpable tension. The practical effects? They’re pretty impressive for a film of its scale—adds a layer of authenticity that’s hard to shake off. It’s distinct in its exploration of morality, survival, and the darker sides of humanity.
