Beast of War (Image Via Bronte Pictures)Based on World War II, Beast of War is an account of a group of young Australian soldiers whose vessel sinks during a crossing of the Timor Sea. Drifting on a rapidly dwindling life raft, the soldiers are many miles away from dry land with no possibility of rescue. Exposed to exhaustion, starvation, and personal conflicts, they learn their main danger isn't the enemy, but a huge, unstoppable great white shark that swims in the waters below them.The movie also goes into the manner in which desperation and fear turn camaraderie to chaos. Every soldier's survival instincts conflict as the days go by, questioning their loyalty and sanity. The loneliness of the sea, topped with the ominous figure of the shark, makes the movie a psychological and physical fight of suspense. Similar to Roache-Turner's previous efforts, the horror in the movie is not necessarily from the monster itself, but from the manner in which humans react after hope is taken away from them.The cast includes a diverse and talented group of new and seasoned actors.Mark Coles Smith, of Scarygirl and Disney+ series The Clearing, headlines the cast as one of the soldiers struggling to keep his company alive in the face of impossible circumstances.It also features Joel Nankervis, Sam Delich, and Lee Tiger Halley of Netflix's Boy Swallows Universe.
