I had the opportunity to check out "The Beast Beneath" on its premiere night through After Hours Cinema. As a big fan of Mel Novak and Brinke Stevens, who both cameo in the picture, as well as a fan and follower of the films of Dustin Ferguson, I highly anticipated the debut of this flick. The story is simple in that a sinister monster rises from the earth to attack the locals who pass by. A scientist and his sister are interested in the recent attacks and use their skills to uncover the mystery of the beast beneath. I enjoyed the cinematography and music very much, both fitting the tone and style of the film. Novak and Stevens always turn in great performances and I was impressed with the design and look of the creature itself. I was also pumped when I saw that Shawn C. Phillips was featured in the film as well. Shawn is always a treat to watch! If you dig underground horror movies, "The Beast Beneath" may be for you!
