Delivery: The Beast Within is just the latest in the well overdone found footage subgenre. Now, it’s not terrible but it’s also not exactly a thrilling or horrific film either with more dull moments than anything suspenseful. The DVD released by Cinedigm does have some OK bonus features and the audio/video transfers aren’t bad.

Trailer (1:06)
VIDEO – 3.5/5 | AUDIO – 3.75/5
The movie is presented with a 16×9 enhanced widescreen (1.78) aspect ratio and looks pretty much like a found footage movie would with oversaturated colors and some well placed splices, cuts, etc.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is a bit heavy-handed at times but effective enough with clear dialogue levels and when the scares do come in, it’s well placed.
OVERALL – 2.5/5
Overall, Delivery: The Beast Within is just the latest in the well overdone found footage subgenre. Now, it’s not terrible but it’s also not exactly a thrilling or horrific film either with more dull moments than anything suspenseful. The DVD released by Cinedigm does have some OK bonus features and the audio/video transfers aren’t bad.
