Being one of the top video 'nasties' in Britain, anyone watching this will have high expectations for sincere blood-letting/female torture/animal mutilation. The opening suggests a promising film - woman reduced to blood in sea by unseen killer, boyfriend left with a splitting headache. However the rest of the film is sooooo boring. There is the one instance when the 'Beast' is glimpsed when a flash of lightning lights up the otherwise pitch black setting which is fairly effective but aside from this there are the just the two scenes near the end that justify viewing. Given that the American version is cut in two places, I can only guess it it these two scenes which are cut. The first and best (for originality) involves the 'Beast' strangling a pregnant woman, reaching up inside her and pulling out the half-grown baby and taking a bite. It has to be seen to be believed. The other interesting moment comes at the very end when the 'Beast' is pick-axed in the stomach and his guts fall into his hands (amid much ludicrous groaning) before he chews on them as he dies.
These two scenes really are the only points of interest for gore fanatics who will find it tedious even to fast-forward.
Non-gore-lovers stay well away.
