Beasts

About This Movie

Beasts (1983) is one of those hidden gems that blends drama, horror, and a bit of thrill into a surprisingly tense narrative. The atmosphere is thick with dread, especially as Doug and Cindy try to rekindle their relationship in the serene Colorado Rockies, only to be interrupted by the looming threat of a killer grizzly. It's interesting how the film explores themes of survival and the complexities of human relationships against such a primal backdrop. The practical effects, particularly during the bear encounters, are quite gripping for the era. The pacing has its ups and downs, but it builds to a real sense of urgency as the ex-cons close in on the bear. Worth a watch for its unique feel and the way it captures the wilderness.
