A safari adventure that turns into a battle for survival tops the DVD releases for the week of Oct. 11.
"Beast": Idris Elba stars as a father trying to keep his daughters from becoming lunch after crossing paths with a homicidal lion during a South African vacation.
"I squared up with 'Beast' in full-on beast mode, meaning: pad, pen, popcorn and proportional expectations," writes Chicago Tribune critic Michael Phillips in his review. "Expectations somewhat exceeded! Turns out 'Beast' is a fairly good, pretty brutal, dumb-smart survival thriller made with a clear, even reductive sense of purpose."
