The Beast Within

KILL ME, PLEASE KILL ME... BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE The Place, Nioba, Mississippi - the time 1964. A young couple are retuning home after a blissful honeymoon They are chatting gaily as their car ploughs through the driving rain totally unaware of the horror which awaits them. From out of the mist-shrouded swamps, a nightmare comes to life and although the couple survive their ordeal, the legacy left to them on that stormy night returns to haunt them many years later. Time - the present, Eli and Caroline MacCleary are happily married with a teenage son. Memories of that fateful night so many years before are long forgotten until their son starts to display some very worrying tendencies. Highly acclaimed director Philippe Mora (The Howling II) has masterminded one of the most genuinely terrifying films of contemporary cinema. Special effects man Tom Burman (The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Prophecy, The Planet Of The Apes and Heaven's Gate) adds icing to the cake with transformation scenes comparable to those in The Thing and The Howling. © United Artists Corp
