Like a Beast... Almost

About This Movie

So, ‘Like a Beast... Almost’ is this fascinating little doc that dives into Lenzi's gritty world behind ‘Almost Human.’ You get Ray Lovelock and Gino Santercole chatting about their experiences, and it’s fascinating how candid they are. The whole vibe feels raw, almost like you’re sitting in on a late-night conversation. They talk about the practical effects, which honestly have a certain charm despite not being polished. The pacing is pretty relaxed, a far cry from the frantic energy of the original film, but it really lets you soak in the behind-the-scenes stories. The themes of exploitation in cinema and the moral complexities of storytelling come through nicely. It’s definitely one of those films that appeals to the niche crowd who appreciate the art of filmmaking.
