Idris Elba Is Stalked By A ‘Beast’ In Upcoming Survival Thriller

Last year it was announced that Universal Pictures will be pitting Idris Elba against a hungry lion in the survival thriller Beast, directed by Baltasar Kormákur. Universal has now announced the date that Beast will be unleashed in theaters, August 19, 2022. “[Beast] finds Elba on a trip to South Africa, only for he and his two teenage daughters to be hunted by a massive rogue lion intent on proving that the savanna has but one apex predator. Elba plays Dr. Nate Samuels, a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa where he first met his wife on a long-planned trip with their daughters to a game reserve.

Movie Review: A Creepy Cornucopia of Sinister Shorts!

In a remote snowed in cabin, a family lives in turmoil. The patriarch of the clan is an alcoholic abusive sumbitch, his wife has been cowed into quivering complacency, and his son…well beside being a human punching bag, is seriously infatuated with lions. In a night packed fat with violent news broadcasts and cheap beer, our antagonist is visited by an impossible (an impossibly violent) four legged visitor that proceeds to set right that which is wrong. At twelve minutes (well ten minutes plus credits); Lion is a tight lil’ fright flick, with a very unique spin on the ‘tormented child calls upon seemingly supernatural revenge’ trope. Well shot and acted, with strong visual effects for the titular beast, and a great sense of taut violence waiting to explode at a moments notice the film packs a real punch. The only negative I had with this was the usage of some ultra-dodgy CG to realize the exterior shots of the
