Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
A movie that suggests that not just the chickens but the locust-monsters inevitably will come home to roost in a postbellum South -- a 'Heart of Dixie' -- haunted by its violent, bigoted past.

The Beast Within is an above-average monster movie with good actors and a sometimes comprehensible plot.

Gruesome gore is the sole highlight.

Rating: 3/5 --
Because Mora doesn't go the usual route for The Beast Within, the film ends up being a bit of an oddball creature feature that often stumbles a bit tonally and suffers from some pacing issues around the midway point.

Daily Dead
The beast within "The Beast Within" is a busy, riotous and confusing scenario that makes it seem as if the film is taking too long to make its point.

Rating: C --
It's a frightfully silly and insignificant horror film, whose only virtue is in the makeup.

Forget the usual Transylvania or London settings: This horror flick has the distinction of being set in scary Mississippi.

Product Description:
Like many adolescents, a Mississippi teenager finds his body and his appetites growing beyond human proportions--only this time, it's a horror movie. The source of his urges comes from the day of his conception, the result of his mother's rape by a monster, and now the boy wants to continue the tradition of his absent father.
