Kit Harington's 'The Beast Within' Explores Dark Family Secrets

The new horror film delves into domestic turmoil through the lens of a werewolf curse.

The film centers on Noah, a father with a lycanthropic condition, and his impact on his family.
Set in an isolated British castle, the story is told from the perspective of Noah's daughter, Willow.
Director Alexander J. Farrell uses the werewolf theme to explore themes of domestic abuse and inner monstrosity.
The film relies on psychological horror and atmosphere rather than gore, with limited appearances of the werewolf.
Critics note the film's strong performances but criticize its reliance on clichés and lack of genuine scares.
