Beast Within, The (1982, USA) C-98m. ** D: Philippe Mora. Starring Ronny Cox, Bibi Besch, Paul Clemens, Don Gordon, R.G. Armstrong, Katherine Moffat, L.Q. Jones, Luke Askew. Not-bad horror film about Cox and his wife Besch, who got raped 17 years ago by a maniac in the woods. Today, Besch's son Clemens is showing disturbing tendencies, which the couple tries to investigate in the small town where the rape occurred. What is the populace trying to hide from them? Start out quite well, then becomes redundant and finally outright absurd. A okay view for horror aficionados. Tom Holland (FRIGHT NIGHT) scripted from a novel by Edward Levy. Elaborate score by Les Baxter.
