I've always liked werewolves. I just think there's something visceral about the metaphor of losing control, and the tragedy of trying to contain yourself but failing to do so. It's why I feel heroes like Hulk are so compelling, even though he doesn't turn to an actual wolf (though Captain America did for a bit in the 90's, but…I'm losing the thread). Anyway, that just means I'll give werewolves a longer leash than most horror subgenres, which is why I was curious about the trailer for BEAST WITHIN, which you see at the top of the article.
Here's the official synopsis:
Beast Within tells the story about a lead gaming developer, August (Steven Morana), who is looking forward to finally meeting his online girlfriend, Cheyenne (Holly Deveaux), at a launch party of the gaming app he developed. The festivities are interrupted by a priest (Colm Feore) who condemns the party guests as "marked for the beast." Convinced it's a publicity stunt, the party-goers disregard the protest until a dead body is found. August and Chyenne, along with the remaining guests, become players in a deadly version of the game. All are questioning who within the group could be the ferocious killer, as everyone is a suspect.
Meanwhile, BEAST WITHIN – directed by Chris Green and Steven Morana and starring Colm Feore (Thor, Chronicles of Riddick), Steven Morana (Whiskey Business, Nothing Personal), Alysa King (Slasher, The Dwelling), Supinder Wraich (The 410, Guidstones), Art Hindle (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Porky’s), and Katie Boland (The Bet, We’re All In This Together) – is available online right now!
