Ideas vs execution
14 August 2022
Any storyteller knows ideas are cheap. Anyone can come up with a crazy , cool concept for a plot. Everything boils down to the execution. In a movie, this is especially complicated, because not only does the writing need to be solid, but you need inspired direction, camerawork, and acting to pull it all together.

THE BEAST MUST DIE is a classic example of a cool idea mauled by horrible execution. Imagine a cross between THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME and AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, only with werewolves and Peter Cushing. Sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately, no. This movie is a slog, directed like a TV movie and bogged down with wooden acting. There is not a single suspenseful moment. It's not even fun schlock, just a waste of time.
