Movie Reviews of The Beast Must Die

Movie Review: Black and Beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars

The premise of this film is good - Mansion way off in the woods, alone, and a group of strangers assembled. Why? Because one of them is a werewolf and the lord of the manse is a big game hunter. Simple plot carried out pretty clearly with some twists along the way. The problem - the writing took a great cast and a good story and turned it into a mess. Calvin Lockhart, the fabulously beautiful hunter and Marlene Clark, his equally beautiful wife get underused. The writers have Lockhart actually shoot his own helicopter by mistake. Oh, sure, a renown big game hunter just shoots away and doesn't pay attention to what's around him. There are other stupidities that will try your patience. The dog as monster, as mentioned by most everyone else, is incredibly bad cinema. The opening scene of Lockhart running as prey himself is pretty good, I won't spoil the story for anyone so that's where I'll stop with synopsis. Also, Tom Chadbon is a very handsome man who I took for a young Michael Gambon. What happened to these star quality faces? Where have they gone? It is for this reason mostly that I give four stars. That and I read that one of the original authors (heaven forbid it was one of the script writers) was James Blish - a star in his own field of Science Fiction.

Summary of The Beast Must Die

Wealthy big game hunter Tom Newcliffe (Calvin Lockhart) has tracked and killed practically every type of animal in the world. But one creature still evades him, the biggest game of all - a werewolf. Tom invites five guests -- Dr. Christopher Lundgren (Peter Cushing), Paul Foote (Tom Chadbon), Bennington (Charles Gray), Jan Jarmokowski (Michael Gambon) and Davina (Ciaran Madden)-- to his island knowing they all are tied one way or another to unusual circumstances of death. and that one of them is a werewolf. Add to the mix Tom's alluring wife Caroline (Marlene Clark) and surveillance expert, Pavel (Anton Diffring), Tom tracks the werewolf but is unable to kill it. One by one the creature kills the isolated guests.
