The Beast (Special Extended Edition) [Blu-ray] Review
I remember seeing this on TV a few years ago, and it was an awesome gigant squid movie. Since I'm into giant squid movies this was one I really enjoyed. This story was good and belieable, and the acting was convincing. I also liked all the special effects when the giant squid came on to the scenes. Sure, some might say that this type of movie is a lot like the Jaws movies. But actually I always thought that a giant squid is much better to have than a shark, especially since giant squids are kind of a legendary thing, not everyone apparently believes that they exist, although remains have been found that clearly show that the size shown in the film is not an exaggeration. Anyway, if you like suspenseful type of movies like Jaws, then you can't go wrong with this.
The Beast (Special Extended Edition) [Blu-ray] Overview
THE BEAST starring William Petersen from the best-selling author, Peter Benchley! Special Extended Version! Peter Benchley, the master of sea terror, returns with another tale of aquatic mayhem in this three hour, uncut version of The Beast. William L. Petersen (CSI, To Live and Die in LA) stars as Whip Dalton in this thrilling, nail-biting tale of man against the darkest secrets of the ocean deep. Fishing and jobs are becoming scarce in the small seaport village of Graves Point, when mysterious deaths and unexplained disappearances begin to occur. Divers vanish and a young couple disappears at sea, their empty raft washing up on the shore. When a large, strange claw is discovered on the raft, the unsettled towns-people call on the marine biologist Dr. Herbert Talley (Ronald Guttman), who identifies it as belonging to a rare giant squid. With the help of Whip Dalton, the hunt is on! It becomes a battle of wills between Dalton and Talley as they try to locate the Beast, without the Beast getting them. With almost 80 minutes of restored scenes previously edited from earlier releases, this is the original version, nominated for two Prime Time Emmy's. Directed by Jeff Bleckner, The Beast also stars Charles Martin Smith (Drive, The Triangle) and Karen Sillas (Wanted, Law and Order).
