Watch Delivery: The Beast Within For Free

Powerful

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

As far as "found footage" films go, this one is certainly of the best. Although the story isn't groundbreaking, there's a fantastic amount of character development. I was really more impressed with the film after watching the special features, however. The fact that the film was shot in two weeks amazed me, as it felt as though I was watching a true nine month journey. Also the fact a huge portion of the film was improvised shows the skills of the two primary actors. I also was impressed by the research done into the making of reality television shows, in order to make the first segment more authentic. My only issues were with the same factors many other reviewers have stated. Kyle could be such a jerk in many scenes. Also the home birth was insane. A high risk pregnancy coupled with growing mental instability? Certainly a situation for a hospital. The only thing I do wish that had been done is having more doubt cast on whether the Producer, Rick was the one really responsible for the strange occurrences. All in all, though fun to watch.

Reality documentary crew records a young couple during their second pregnancy, after the first miscarried, but complications set in ...OK, it's mockumentary (of a documentary) plus FF - so some will dismiss it anyway. It is well made and a good story that sticks to the rules of the genre. Well acted too, and it avoids the crew-ego that spoils so many films like this.The problem I had is they decided to use camera/mic interference to convey the presence of the threat, and never made it literal. There was knocking at the door, but that was about it. So you end up with something that's really a tale of a decline into mental illness, and in my view that means it's not horror. You have to see a manifestation on screen, and glitches in the picture and audio shrieking are not enough.Otherwise the sound did create an effect, especially with the constant dog barking and the confused voices in the last scene (which came close to being ruined by the camera effects). But in the end it is a shocker.Overall, well worth watching but should have been spookier. Better than Paranormal Entity, but not a patch on the PA series at its best.

I don't mind found footage or low budget movies as long as they're not predictable, boring and plot less. I kept waiting for this movie to surprise, scare or disturb but I just kept waiting right up to the credits. The husband Kyle was annoying, he didn't react to any of the strange events but just played frustrated and distant. The wife Rachel's friends didn't even seem to notice her weird behaviour. The midwife was so non reactive that I half expected her to turn out to be an evil accomplice of the demon ala the nanny in Damien (the Omen sequel), would've been a good plot twist if she did. But no, she was just dumb. It seemed extremely implausible that this couple would attempt a home birth under the circumstances. The only thing I thought the movie did well was to have interviews with the production crew of the fictitious documentary. Because they were actually creeped-out. This was the sort of movie that you wish they had done so many things differently, small changes would've made it much better. E.g. Kyle being really scared just once would've made the whole thing much scarier. I really wouldn't bother.

And again, those exceptional reviews had to be written by those involved with the film. I keep promising myself not to get sucked in by those reviews and t be more discerning but I was taken again! Nothing much happens and I was on the edge of my couch since I fell asleep and almost landed on the floor. This was extremely boring, very slow moving, no real plot and absolutely no suspense. Basically a waste of time and money and clearly one of the most boring found footage films ever made. Those of you who found something like this suspenseful should check out true horror films and see the difference. Watch "Rosemary's Baby" and compare it to this film and then review this title!
