About this movie

Before "Jurassic Park," there was this sci-fi classic about a frozen dinosaur that is freed from its 100 million year Arctic imprisonment and takes off on a path of destruction. Based on a story by science fiction master Ray Bradbury ("A Sound of Thunder," "Something Wicked This Way Comes"), with great special effects by Academy Award-winner Ray Harryhausen ("Clash of the Titans," "One Million Years B.C.").

Ratings and reviews

I love this movie because it reminds me of Godzilla well I kind of also feel bad about it in the ending but it is a happy ending this movie has to make a part 2 where the lizard Beast had a new form with longer arms and longer legs a longer or tail and longer teeth because that would be epic a bigger body bigger Claws and the bigger spikes on its back make it make it a little bit bigger because I really want you too and don't forget apart tree where the lizard Beast was super duper Giant awesome

Great movie i love it the stop motion makes it look so real and even when it is in the city great editing but the light house scene was great but on there the editing was kinda bad But It still looked very nice i rate this movie a 5 star

This and Gargo were my first monster movies as a child back in the 60s. The Beast has always been my favorite and still is. Godzilla is second best. Gargo comes in third. The Beast is number one.
