Peter Benchley, the master of sea terror, returns with another tale of aquatic mayhem in this three hour, uncut version of The Beast. William L. Petersen (CSI, To Live And Die in LA) stars as Whip Dalton in this thrilling, nail-biting tale of man against the darkest secrets of the ocean deep.
Fishing and jobs are becoming scarce in the small seaport village of Graves point, when mysterious deaths and unexplained disappearances begin to occur. Divers vanish and a young couple disappear at sea, their empty raft washing up on shore. When a large, strange claw is discovered on the raft, the unsettled towns-people call on the marine biologist Dr. Herbert Talley (Ronald Guttman), who identifies it as belonging to a rare giant squid. With the help of Whip Dalton, the hunt is on! It becomes a battle of wills between Dalton and Talley as they try to locate the Beast, without the Beast getting them.
With almost 80 minutes of restored scenes previously edited from earlier versions, this is the original version, nominated for two Prime Time Emmy's. Directed by Jeff Bleckner, The Beast also stars Charles Martin Smith (Drive, The Triangle) and Karen Sillas (Wanted, Law And Order).
