Village youths are sacrificed to a Minotaur who lives in an underground maze beneath a castle. Our hero Theo, who is not supposed to be sacrificed as he will later be chief of the clan, goes along with those who are to be sacrificed as he plans to save his true love, who was taken a few years earlier. Though it is the Iron Age, the youth are mostly stereotypically good looking and have dirt smudges on their overly pretty faces.Problems arise due to the slow pacing, overly dull exchanges, and the self-titled beast not actually being a minotaur at all. The film begins with an explanation that the minotaur is half man, half beast. But the Minotaur in the film can best be described as the body of a hairless bull with the skull of a bull, which is inexplicably dripping with goo. It's decent CGI, but it does lead one to wonder how this creature gains sustenance by eating the teens since it doesn't seem to have any way to swallow anything it eats.
