The Beast Within

Advertised on Netflix as a werewolf related film (but soon removed from the section when I double checked the next day), The Beast Within is more of a were-cicada film. Yeah thats right, were-cicada. The film starts off with a happily just married couple and their dog getting stranded on the side of the road, of course the husband volunteers to go get a tow from the nearest gas station, while his wife stays behind and protects the car in the middle of the creepy ass woods. Nearby, in a creepy old house, something breaks free of its chains and heads out into the night. The wifey's dog gets spooked so she lets it out of the car where it promptly runs off into the woods and gets killed by the approaching beast .The wifey gets out of the car to inspect ...then, OOPS! She gets raped by a were-cicada. 17 years later the couples son is acting strange, you know, like he may be the son of a were-cicada. He returns to the town where his mother was raped to find out about his true past. He soon begins to react to the moons cycle and the sound of the cicadas in the forest, both making him crave human flesh. Add in a teenage love interest and you gots yourself the makings of a fine, atmospheric, and entertaining little film. Props to director Phillipe Mora (who also directed The Howling 2 & 3).


for fans of Silver Bullet and cicadas.
