“Beast No More” (** out of four) was an over-the-top horror thriller about a young biologist (Jessica Tovey) who has suffered the loss of a child and ventures to the Australian outback when she encounters a mysterious man (Dan Ewing) who offers her the chance to be a mother again but a huge cost of which she never imagined. Interesting and arty story is more morally complex than most films of this genre but it still wallows in excess and unpleasantness and eventually wears you out. Film’s ending is jarring and abrupt but by that point you likely won’t want to watch this “no more” anyway.
