    Quite powerful, raw and intriguing short

    Inspired by true events . This one tells us a story of Íngrid Olderöck , who is a cruel Chilean torturer during military dictatorship. At first , I didn't get the theme and not sure where it is heading to. Half way through it, Hugo Covarrubias started revealing the real picture by showing us the brutal side of the story which genuinely shook me. Still, I didn't get the whole gist and after finishing the short, quickly Googled the real story pertaining to Ingrid. Now, looking back at the short, I could literally feel the beast vibe and how she brutally tortured victims using her dog, sheer madness.

    In just 15 minutes, Hugo delivered powerful , raw , dark , real content by using stop motion animation which further enhanced the experience. He brilliantly created the beast world with his animation work, I'm highly amazed and impressed. Even the score is eerie and perfectly blended with the flow. Great!! Just jump in blindly and give it a shot. I hope it takes the osacr home.

    The best short movie of 2021

    10/10. This short film manages to expose a fascist in the most beautiful and disturbing way. The power of symbolism down to the smallest detail in the animation is spectacular. A Masterpiece from Chile, from Latin America, from the 21st century, from the world, from History.

    She was just one of many beasts in those years...

    Many times I have heard or read that Chilean cinema has squeezed every last drop from the Military Dictatorship of the 70's and 80's. But there are so many stories, many of them hidden, and most of them so chilling, that you don't even need a horror script to be horrified by the story.

    In this case, this short film summarizes the harsh story of a sick, insecure and totally abusive woman who plays with the innocence of her pet and her tortured ones.

    It's masterfully done, animated with stop-motion very much in the style of Wes Anderson in Isle of Dogs.

    Despite its technique of realization, discretion is recommended for sensitive people.

    An unforgettable poignant story of human atrocities told in stop-motion

    I am quite impressed with the quality of this stop-motion animation and floored by the contents within it. It is a very powerful short story about totalitarianism and fascism. Totally blew my mind this animation was based on real-world events from the country of Chile. Ingrid was a real person.

    Unique in every way

    I saw Bestia as part of a block of animated films at the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it deservedly walked away with the award for Best Animated Film.

    From the unique animation style to the cerebral script and challenging imagery, it's a film that almost defies description - just like the very best works of art.

    A sense of unease bubbles constantly beneath the surface. Bestia manages to reveal enough of the story behind Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile - and the life of one of his agents - that you come away wanting to learn more, but leaves enough to the imagination that the viewer is able to gather their own meaning from this brilliant piece of animation.
