The Beast Within (1982)
I decided to include this film
mainly because it does do some Lovecraftian name-dropping.
The film concerns itself on the dubious past of the Curwins,
a prominent family in the small town. Years ago one of the fanatic
Curwins, Lionel, caught a young man with his wife and growing
so enraged, he locked the young man in the cellar. Being
the town undertaker, Curwin took corpses to feed his cellar prisoner
human flesh. Dexter Ward (not even like Lovecraft's), discovered
this hideous secret, so all the Curwins had to cover everything
up. Well the young man escaped, attacks and rapes Mrs.
McCreary, impregnating her and thus the story really begins.
You see, the young McCreary boy undergoes a hideous transformation
(Cicada Man!) in his teen years. Possesed by the evil force
of the young man (odd coincidence with Lovecraft's story), the
boy begins killing all the Curwins in town, in a twisted sort
of revenge, all the while the evil growing within him until finally
the transformation is complete. The evil sheds the shell
it was living in and hunts the last Curwin... I grabbed this movie off cable so that's why the pics are a little low quality and why there's that damned TNT logo on them. beast2.wav The McCreary boy explains to his young girlfriend that she is in grave danger. beast3.wav The sounds of the cicadas in the woods forwarns everyone. beast4.wav McCreary pleads with his father and the sheriff. beast5.wav A horrorfying discovery is made in the woods by Mr. McCreary and the Sheriff.
