The Beast Must Die
1974 Peter Cushing
Teaser Storyline for "The Beast Must Die"
were' wolf (AS, wer, a man, and wulf, a wolf) in folklore, a person changed into a wolf, or one capable of assuming the form of a wolf at will.
- WEBSTER'S NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY
It is the first night of the full moon.
Millionaire sportsman Tom Newcliffe (CALVIN LOCKHART) is readying the hunt for the biggest game of all. He has invited to his isolated mountain lodge an oddly assorted group of guests. Each has had prior connections with bizarre deaths or the eating of human flesh, and it is Newcliffe's belief that one among them - the one that will become the hunted -- is about to become a blood-crazed werewolf.
Which one? Professor Christopher Lundgren (PETER CUSHING), an expert on wolves who knows more than seems humanly possible about the habits and customs of the legendary werewolf?
Bennington (CHARLES GRAY), a disgraced British diplomat whose aides have had a strange habit of mysteriously disappearing?
Pavel
|
(ANTON DIFFRING), a sinisterly accented European from the country where the werewolf is said to have originated?
Paul Foote (TOM CHAJJBON), an artist and sadist with a talent for painting people just before they meet violent deaths?
Jan Jarmokowskj (MICHAEL GAMBON), a concert pianist with a taste for raw human flesh?
Davina (CIARAN MADDEN), Jan's mistress who shares his strange appetites?
Caroline (MARLENE CLARK), Newcliffe's wife, a woman with abundant reasons for wanting her husband and his guests dead?
When an outbreak of violence occurs on the first night, Newcliffe informs his guests that they must remain throughout the cycle of the full moon. The servants have been dismissed, the phones disconnected. They are captives at the mercy of each other's beastliness.
As the horrors mount, Newcliffe begins to realize that he is a mortal pitted against powers beyond man's understanding.., but he will not, can not stop the hunt. At the moment of the monstrously frightening denouement, "The Werewolf Break", a one minute pause, challenges viewers to detect with Newcliffe the identity of the beast that must die.
