THE BEAST WITHIN (1982)
Summerization: A woman is attacked and raped back in '64 by a giant mutant cicada humanoid. 17 years later, something starts happening with her baby, so the parents get the bright idea to return to the town where it happened, with their son, and start investigating. Because of course you're going to wait until something strange happens with your rape-baby before asking questions about the giant, rape-happy cicada.
Why It's Awesome: Just about every scene is slightly bizarre. The guy who plays Michael is awesome. The blonde girl is pretty, sweet and innocent. The beast within does some damage as well. It rips off heads, claws out throats, takes multiple shotgun blasts, throws drunks into transistors and might enjoy his hamburgers rare. There's also an awesome metamorphosis sequence that still holds up to this day as being utterly disgusting. It's pretty magical.
Quote: "Lionel, the town undertaker, robbin' his own coffins to feed Billy his flesh, the human flesh, Billy needed to live. It was easy."
Best Time To Watch: Everyone in this movie is kinda gross and sweaty. So whenever it's a really hot day. Leave the oven on while viewing for a heightened effect.
Quality: 3 outta 4 beasts within.
