Devil child from the earlier film ('666 Bless the Child') is now all grown up and VP of a supposed multinational, but there's some seriously spicy tail seducing him in the office that he just can't resist. Predictably, temptation opens the gates of hell with his heavily pregnant wife in the crosshairs.

Filmed on location, apparently guerilla style in back alleys and side streets, there's an irritating warm orange glow on everything during the day, whilst after sunset you need night vision goggles to see what's going on. Some of the props look cool, and the aforementioned office vixen is an alluring specimen (well played by Albanian actress Grey), but the picture is so low budget it looks like a soft porn soap opera.

There's dirty dancing, a steamy infrared love scene, rooftop lesbian vampire orgy, even a bloody crucifixion and yet despite all these positives, 'The Beast' remains a tedious, talky, overblown fizzer that can't overcome its lack of resources and imagination.
