Beast 2018

In this somber tale of love, redemption, and dark secrets, 27-year-old Moll (character not specified) is stifled by the suffocating grip of her wealthy parents’ expectations on Jersey’s picturesque Channel Island. As a tour guide, she’s forced to navigate the treacherous waters of small-town gossip while shouldering the responsibility of caring for her father, ravaged by dementia. The island’s fragile harmony is shattered by a series of brutal and unsolved rape/murders, casting a pall of fear over its residents.

On the eve of Moll’s birthday, her sister steals the spotlight with a bombshell announcement, leaving Moll feeling belittled and undervalued by her family. In search of solace, she seeks refuge in a nightclub, where a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger sets off a chain reaction of events that will forever alter the trajectory of her life.

As their whirlwind romance blossoms, Moll finds herself drawn to Pascal (actor not specified), a rugged and enigmatic poacher who rescued her from a potentially disastrous situation on the beach. Despite warnings from her family and local police detective Clifford (character not specified) about Pascal’s troubled past, which includes a conviction for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old at 18, Moll is smitten.

However, as their relationship deepens, Moll begins to confront the demons of her own past, revealing a traumatic incident from her teenage years that has left an indelible mark on her psyche. Pascal’s reaction to this revelation is telling, and it serves as a precursor to the shocking truth about his own dark history.

The discovery of a fourth murder victim - a young girl who vanished on the night of Moll’s birthday party - sets off a maelstrom of suspicion and recrimination. As the police close in on Pascal, Moll is forced to confront the harsh realities of his past and the true nature of their relationship. Will she find it in her heart to forgive him, or will the weight of their secrets tear them asunder?

As the formal function at the country club comes to a close, Moll’s sister (name) sparks a controversy by having Pascal ejected for his unconventional attire. In a toast that rings with conviction, Moll forgives her family for their past transgressions, proclaiming that she has finally found closure. However, her sentimentality is short-lived, as she proceeds to recklessly destroy the meticulously manicured putting green. This impulsive outburst marks a turning point in her life, as she moves into Pascal’s humble abode and becomes increasingly entangled in his enigmatic world.

That night, the authorities barge in, arresting Pascal and subjecting Moll to a barrage of pointed questions. She steadfastly maintains that their first encounter took place at the country club, but the lead detective is skeptical, sensing a deeper motivation behind her alibi. As she returns to Pascal’s house alone, the weight of her secrets begins to crush her, manifesting in haunting nightmares and an unwelcome spotlight from the press.

Moll’s professional life becomes increasingly overwhelming, prompting her to seek out the victim of her past transgression - a young woman scarred by Moll’s brutal attack. In a tense confrontation, Moll attempts to apologize and make amends, but is rebuffed by the woman who now bears a permanent reminder of their encounter.

The memorial service for the deceased girl serves only to further deepen Moll’s despair, as she is chased away by the grieving mother and friends. It isn’t until Clifford reveals that they have apprehended the true perpetrator - an unsuspecting immigrant farmer - that Moll begins to find solace in the knowledge that Pascal may not be the monster she had feared.

As Moll and Pascal celebrate their newfound freedom with a night of revelry, her words take on a more sinister tone as she hints at abandoning this island and building a new life elsewhere. Pascal’s reaction is immediate and brutal, as he lashes out at her, revealing a darker side to his enigmatic persona.

Following a tumultuous argument, Moll flees to Clifford’s house, where she confesses to fabricating Pascal’s whereabouts. Her admission is met with dismissal, leaving her no choice but to return to the crime scene of her latest victim, where she collapses into despair.

In a desperate attempt to rekindle their tumultuous relationship, Moll invites Pascal to a beachfront restaurant, where she plies him and herself with liquor, urging him to confess his role in the murders. As they indulge in their drinks, Moll reveals her own dark secret - that she had acted out of revenge when she stabbed the girl all those years ago.

Pascal appears torn, his expression a mixture of anguish and resolve. After a moment of contemplation, he declares that it’s over, that the victims were nothing more than mere pawns to him. Moll seems to find solace in his words, her eyes gleaming with a twisted sense of relief.

As they drive away from the restaurant, Moll requests a kiss, and when Pascal complies, she seizes the opportunity to manipulate events. In a shocking turn of events, she deliberately crashes the car, leaving Pascal badly injured on the street. As he begs for her help, claiming that they are “the same,” Moll’s icy resolve falters not, as she strangles him to death and rises from the wreckage, unscathed but forever changed.
