“The Beast Within” (** out of four) was an uninspired horror melodrama about a curious 10-year old (Caolinn Springall) who begins to question the reasons for her and her family’s (Kit Harington and Ashleigh Cummings) isolated existence and follows them on one of their treks to the forest and realizes the sinister evil lurking beneath the facade of their beautiful life. Not much suspense or horror and not much of anything else to sustain dramatic interest for long although good performances are a plus. This is not a remake of the 1982 abomination of the same name and is far better than that mess.
