Title

Best

Beast, The (La bęte)

There is a R1 version of The Beast, which was released in December 2001 by Cult Epics. This edition is bare-bones and contains no extras. Another edition from Cult Epics was released in November 2004. This is a region free, 3 DVD set, which is a far better presentation than the previous release. It features exactly the same extras as this Umbrella release, except for the third disc, which contains a Dutch "complete version" of the film. This "complete version" has been transferred from an inferior video source and is heavy with film artefacts. It has a running time of approx 102 minutes and seems to be a working print. The differences between the director's cut and this "complete version" are quite insignificant, with the cuts made to simply streamline the film.

With that in mind, I can see no reason to go past the local R4, Umbrella release.
