Written and directed by Michael Pearce, very little is promoted about the movie Beast. The story follows a young woman named Moll, played by Jessie Buckley – an Irish singer and actress. Moll lives in an isolated community with her domineering family.  She meets a stranger named Pascal, played by Johnny Flynn – an English poet and musician.  It is rumored that Pascal is a ruthless murderer with reports of young girls being murdered and then buried.  Moll is torn between her family, the rumors, and Pascal’s true intentions.  Horror is written all over this movie.

The movie received five nominations from different film festivals such as Best Screenplay at the Miami Film Festival, Best First Feature at the London Film Festival, and Platform Prize for Michael Pearce at the Toronto Film Festival.

The movie trailer is nerve-wracking, suspenseful, and horrific. Toward the end of the movie trailer, another character is introduced but I can’t tell for sure Could this be the real murderer?

The movie clip shows her getting even with her mother.
