I admit, from the offset, that I love a good creature feature, and the fact that I grew up in the area where this was filmed, around Meldon Old Quarry and Reservoir, and northern Dartmoor, may have coloured my opinion.
The scenery is good and the cinematography is pretty good too, for an indie flick, and would put some larger budget films to shame.
The cast are not particularly likeable, especially one that is outright nasty, which tends to lead to you rooting for the Dartmoor Beast - which is a real legend around here, by the way. The banter between them is pretty funny at times, and adds comedy to the film.
The beast is too unseen in this movie, and it would have been better to have featured it more. I suspect that cost featured in this decision, but it could have been much scarier, whilst still being funny, along the lines of An American Werewolf in London.
Overall, I quite enjoyed it. It is not comedic gold, nor is it a horror masterpiece, but it is certainly worth a watch.
