"Beast"-ly....
16 September 1999
You ever see a movie where they spent so much on the special effects they had nothing left for a screenplay?

I have, lots of them. And here's a good example....

"The Beast Within" shows a lot of what they call "bladder FX" to show someone morphing into a monster, and those scenes are actually pretty well done. But the rest of the film feels like it was just tacked onto an FX loop.

What actors like Besch, Cox, Armstrong and Jones are doing in this mess is anyone's guess, and I'll bet they're trying to figure that out to this day.

I won't go into too much detail but just to say that things end for a sequel. If there is any shred of decency in the festering depths of Hollywood, they WILL NOT make a sequel to "The Beast Within".

Let's all hope.

One star, for the FX. But everything else winds up in the negative numbers, including the IQ points of all involved herein.
