Beast by Night

Awesome movie! 👏🎥.. Can see how much effort Zachary Keane put into crafting this film. Seen in the trivia that it was filmed between 2017 & 2020.

First off love that hammer horror vibe, from the soundtrack,locations, performances and period piece aesthetic. Love that in this day and age and on a shoe string budget Zach really put his heart and soul into this film. An old fashioned werewolf tale is definitely an ambitious project especially for a filmmaker obviously working on a low budget. But it's result is a very impressive piece of work that is bound to impress anyone who appreciates truly independent cinema.

Some excellent , special effects and the fog in certain scenes really makes it atmospheric and a throw back to classic horror films we don't see anymore. Those werewolf transformation scenes are incredible too.

Zach Keane does something here that most independent filmmakers shy away from, which is condensing their vision of a film to work within their lack of resources and limitations. Instead Zach has such a vast vision of his story and doesn't compromise at all. He wears the limitations and lack of budget on his sleeve embracing the low budget and delivers a very stylish and developed film.

Zach even plays multiple characters, has a large use of green screen to mimic locations. Carefully frames shots and decorates sets such as caves that give it that campy charm. It reminded me of watching an early Peter Jackson film where you can see a filmmaker bursting from creativity and unique ideas and every bit of it is shown on screen.

As a filmmaker myself I first came across Zach's film "Dark Visitation" as part of a horror anthology that we were both involved with titled "Deadly Numbers".. His work fascinated me from that point as you can always tell when a filmmaker is passionate about their work. Zachary Keane is definitely one to watch and a filmmaker who's work I'll continue to support and follow!

For a zero-budget movie it has some good qualities, like some cut scenes and most dialogue. Unfortunately, the plot was missing, which made the film drag on. Furthermore, the final dialogue could have been completely removed as it is merely expository.

Making movies is not easy, and it's especially difficult without a budget. Despite this, Zachary Keane manages to deliver a surprisingly entertaining film with good writing and special effects that are quite ingenious considering the 200$ budget. The 2 brothers are honestly great characters, and the whole story flows quite well. There are some genuinely moving moments (particularly the cave scene), and the dialogue feels real. Now, by no means is this a masterpiece, and for those who are negative, I must remind you that this film is not for the average horror fan. Even for a werewolf movie, it caters to different styles and elements that are more in tune with the anthro community, which I know for a fact director Keane is part of. On that note, I can't think of too many others in that community who have even attempted a feature film, outside of documentaries about the community itself. With a proper budget, more of a cast and crew, and a bit of tweaking, I could easily see a remake of this being extremely well done. Every filmmaker has to begin somewhere, and for what this story demands, this isn't a bad place to start.

Awesome Film and great acting.. Go and rent this film for halloween.. Great horror film
