Review of Beast

Beast (III) (2017)
3/10
Undeserved Dread
12 May 2018
Thriller? Psychological? The movie is just a stylized romance flick with hints of a family drama. Nothing psychological or thrilling about it. Just because the soundtrack has cello and can bank on the dissonant does not mean that there is a deserved sense of dread. There fails be an engaging introduction to provide a sense of mystery that doesn't feel like a cop out to actual plot or storyline, otherwise we just kind of see cheap tricks to fool the viewers into a more suspenseful state than the actiion or dialogue dictates. There is a lack of motivation to this relationship between the main characters and therefore it feels flawed and unreal. There are two scenes that seem genuinely motivated within the world they have created here, otherwise the whole thing feels over engineered and forced. Without giving us the proper information as viewers it makes it impossible to enjoy the ride of the movie, and I get that there was suppose to be a mystery wrapped up in here but that really comes second when all you want is for the movie to end so you can see what happens. Also a few reactions in there where I almost burst out laughing (obviously not what they were going for). Predictable, the movie could end one of three ways and of course it ended the third way, which actually was obviously the first way. Hmmmmm... Skip this one.
