Two spinsters Joyce and Ellie live together in the family home they grew up in,but hide a dark and sinister secret. They keep their demented brother Steven locked in the cellar. But Steven manages to escape and starts killing soldiers. And he can see in the dark."Beast in the Cellar" is a pretty creepy horror movie produced by Tigon. The score by Tony Macaulay is marvelous and there are some moments of genuine suspense. The film is well-acted and directed. Beryl Reid and Flora Robson shine in their chilling performances of two elderly sisters Joyce and Ellie. The climax is a bit predictable and the editing is rather bad in places plus it's quite difficult to see what is happening. Still solid British shocker.8 beasts out of 10.
