What is the plot of ‘Beast’?
It is a survival-based monster thriller film that revolves around Dr Nate Samuels (Idris Elba), a widower who goes on a trip to South Africa with his two daughters Meredith (Iyana Halley) and Norah (Leah Sava Jeffries).

The first thirty seconds of the trailer show glimpses of this being a normal trip with photos and laughs that they all have. Soon enough, things change rapidly when they find a man in the middle of the road describing he’s been attacked by the devil. They arrive there to see that all residents living there had been brutally slaughtered by the devil. When they start leaving from there, they are attacked by a blood-thirsty lion. Their trip changes into a living nightmare as all of them are stuck and trapped inside the car with no way out.
The official synopsis reads, “Dr. Nate Daniels, a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa, where he first met his wife, on a long-planned trip with their daughters to a game reserve managed by Martin Battles, an old family friend and wildlife biologist.
