Beloved Beast

Maybe,maybe promising director,but... Some good dialogs,some reasonably good effects,some decent camera work,but soooooooooo incredibly long and disjointed....Just not interesting enough to pull off 3 hours of watch.3 stars for effort,0 for interest.

The trailer is awesome. Makes you want to watch it. Kudos to whoever edited it. But it is misleading in the fact that this movie is so much more than the trailer. It has a massive story to it. Its not just a slasher film like the trailer makes it look. The movie is a bit long for my taste but it kept my interest. Acting is pretty good. Definitely a few stand outs. The cops where my favorite. Very classic old jaded cop and rookie cop pairing. They played well off of each other. The Little girl was awesome also. Great writing, awesome cinematography, suspenseful at times, a few very cringe worthy and surprising scenes. I am glad I stumbled on this one. Definitely worth a watch.

This movie has the potential to be great. The trailer makes it seem like horror/slasher film but it is more of a slasher/comedy. Quite a few funny moments. Quite a few very cringe worthy moments also. 3 hours has become the new norm for movies it seems but this movie didn't need to be 3 hours. All in all a entertaining movie despite the length. If you can make it through the couple drawn out moments you will enjoy it. I would recommend it.

Story about a girl who gets in a car accident and tragically looses her parents and having to stay with a related as her guardian. Jonathan Holbrooks direction in this story will put you into a world of haze around it's characters by showing specific points of their character.

The story almost feels like a three part because you follow the girl (Sanae Loutsis) through a stage of confusion, the feeling of lost and companionship.

A hint of folk lore also plays it's part in this with the damsel in distress missing love and the beast who could not feel it but accept it. You can't help but feel for "Harvey" in this due to his nature but it's a mere subtle of a dilusion because even a loyal animal can't be tamed for what it's always been.

The cast in this does it well giving the audience a take on who these people are and the misery they carry in this universe.

It is a film to take in that provides it's own unique way if story telling.

Multiple different story lines throughout the movie. Kind of a slasher/comedy of sorts. I went into it with zero expectations and was pretty surprised. It's got a good story, it's shot well, acting is pretty good, but it is long. I think the story could have been told in a shorter film. I could see 20 or so minutes getting cut out and telling the same story. Besides the length I was entertained. I think it's worth a watch.
