Beast (2022)
Sometimes the rustle in the bushes actually is a monster…
Filmed in South Africa, the pulse-pounding survival thriller Beast stars Emmy nominee Idris Elba (Thor: Love and Thunder, Luther) and South African star Sharlto Copley (District 9’s Wikus and Murdock in The A-Team) in the 58th biggest film of 2022.
The film centres on a father and his two teenage daughters whose journey of healing in the African bush becomes a fearsome fight for survival when a lion, a survivor of bloodthirsty poachers who now sees all humans as the enemy, begins stalking them.
Shot in Limpopo, the Northern Cape, and Cape Town, the film’s local cast includes the likes of Daniel Hadebe (Blood Psalms, Scandal!), Thapelo Sebogodi (The River), Martin Munro (Krotoa, Warrior), Thabo Rametsi (Kalushi, Hard Copy), and Silwerskerm Festival Award winner Chris Gxalaba (Poppie Nongena, Good Madam).
