The Beast Within1982
“He Was On The Verge Of Becoming A Man... Eater!”
Directed by Philippe Mora
The premise
A horrified teen mutates into a crazed cannibalistic swamp creature, and must uncover the terrifying secret identity of his father before his nasty natural tendencies force him to make jambalaya out of the locals.
Horror Vault's take
A Mississippi teenager begins suffering a violent, inexplicable physical transformation that drives his desperate parents to dig into the dark secrets surrounding his conception. The rural town they investigate harbors long-buried horrors that locals would sooner forget. As the boy's condition accelerates toward something monstrous, the truth about his bloodline proves more terrifying than anyone anticipated.
