Driving near a small Mississippi town in 1964, newlyweds Eli (Ronny Cox) and Caroline (Bibi Besch) experience car trouble. When Eli goes off to look for help, Caroline gets raped and is made pregnant by a horrible creature. Years later the child, now teenager Michael (Paul Clemens), finds himself undergoing an inexplicable physical change that compels him to return to that area in Mississippi. Soon dead bodies start piling up while his desperate parents struggle to understand what's happening.

CRITICS OF "The Beast Within (1982)"

Daily Dead

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.

Gruesome gore is the sole highlight.

July 26, 2002

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

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

October 30, 2008

PopMatters

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

December 11, 2013

Resource

Boston Globe

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.

Creative Loafing

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

April 18, 2014

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

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.
