As far as feature film debuts go, writer/director Michael Pearce has crafted something truly special with Beast, a psychological thriller/drama that explores the darker aspects of human nature and just how far one may go for the sake of love and acceptance. Following two outsiders who find solace within each other, Moll (Jessie Buckley) and Pascal’s (Johnny Flynn) complicated relationship is front and center in Beast, and becomes tested in unimaginable ways once Pascal is suspected to be a killer who recently targeted a young teenage girl in their tight-knit community.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Pearce about his approach to Beast, and he discussed how a real-life serial killer inspired his first feature and how he decided to take some well-known fairy tale tropes and subvert them with his thought-provoking script. He also chatted about tapping into the carnal aspects of love and much more.
