Overview
The story of a gentle-hearted beast in love with a simple and beautiful girl. She is drawn to the repellent but strangely fascinating Beast, who tests her fidelity by giving her a key, telling her that if she doesn’t return it to him by a specific time, he will die of grief. She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.

Viewing Notes
This movie kicked off The Massacre. Cool to see on the big screen. I believe I watched this when I was a kid but it was dubbed? Or maybe I saw a different film. The Beast make-up and FX are impressive.
