Summary:
A disturbed woman living in a secluded community finds herself pulled between the control of her overbearing family and the appeal of a secretive stranger suspected of a series of vicious murders. "Aided and abetted by Benjamin Kracun's alluringly sensual cinematography, Mr. Pearce has created a feverish fairy tale riven with dark horrors and forbidden desire"--New York Times "Writer-director Pearce, making his feature debut, proves dedicated to a psychological naturalism."--Village Voice "Upgrading a sleeping-with-the-enemy premise familiar from countless B-thrillers with a faintly mythic aura and cool psychosexual shading, 'Beast' also sustains a fresh, frank feminine perspective through Jessie Buckley's remarkable lead performance."--Variety
