Reviews

Crime of a Beast has received predominantly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, evident in its low IMDb rating of 3.1/10. Many reviewers criticized the film for its graphic content and perceived exploitative elements, often describing it as excessively violent with little narrative depth. A common critique highlighted by Rotten Tomatoes and various film forums points to its lack of character development and a storyline that fails to engage beyond shock value. Some reviewers found the direction and cinematography adequate but felt these technical aspects were overshadowed by the controversial subject matter. While a few niche audiences acknowledged its attempt at a raw, unfiltered exploration of a dark theme, the consensus remains that the film struggles to balance storytelling with its intense imagery. Metacritic scores, though limited, suggest the film did not resonate well with critics, reflecting a generally unfavorable reception. Overall, Crime of a Beast is regarded as a challenging watch, primarily appreciated by viewers interested in extreme crime dramas, but it has limited appeal due to its unsettling and provocative nature.
