Review

One of the last true drive-in classics, The Beast Within (1982) spins the horrific tale of a woman (Bibi Besch) who gets raped and subsequently knocked-up by a giant insect-creature. She blocks out the memory and raises the boy, who seems to be a normal child. Seventeen years later, Junior begins a metamorphosis into a monster-bug like the one that spawned him and, again like his pop, he falls under the sway of the sinister urge to find a female victim and propagate his species. The Beast Within features veteran character actor Ronny Cox, who has appeared in some of the most important films of our time, including Beverly Hills Cop (1984), RoboCop (1987), and Never Give Up: The Jimmy V Story (1996). Jimmy V may have never given up, but Bibi gives up a glimpse of her boobies as she struggles to protect her chastity from a giant locust.
