Written and directed by Michael Pearce, “Beast” follows Moll, a 27-year-old woman still living at home, stifled by the small island community around her and too beholden to her family to break away. When she meets Pascal, a free-spirited stranger, a whole new world opens up to her and she begins to feel alive for the first time, falling madly in love. Finally breaking free from her family, Moll moves in with Pascal to start a new life. But when he is arrested as the key suspect in a series of brutal murders, she is left isolated and afraid. Choosing to stand with him against the suspicions of the community, Moll finds herself forced to make choices that will impact her life forever.

This exhilarating and thrilling drama seems to be a break-out film for everyone involved. But, if we’re honest, Johnny Flynn has been on our radar. So, we’re quite interested to see the English Folk singer step out of the “20-something romantic, love-interest” role that he’s best known for playing in the Channel 4/Netflix show “Lovesick” to play someone a little more mysterious, edgy, and possibly murderous(?).

Watching this trailer made us feel as if we had seen a story similar to this before, but at the same time, like we hadn’t seen anything like this before, meaning you will definitely see us at the theatre.
