Personality
Very little is known about the Beast's personality as he never speak and always wear a mask which cover his face. All that can be said about him is that he's ruthless, vicious, unscrupulous and insane serial killer who's aim is to get rid of the people that tresspass in the warehouse.



Story
The Beast is a tall, muscular and chubby entity that always wears a visor on so that no one can see his face. A group of friends breaks-in to an abandoned warehouse to set an impromptu party, not knowing that it belongs to The Beast, As the story goes, young adults are picked one-by-one and killed by the entity and his 'pets' - 4 ghoulish girls. The killer prefers to send his minions over attacking the party-members by himself. Although, he's taking pleasure of torturing them eg. he smashed victim's legs by using a gigantic sledgehammer. When the rest of the  ravers arrives to the party, the real massacre starts. At the end only one person made it alive and the continuation of The Beast story is unknown.

The Beast's main weapon is a big sledgehammer. He can lift it without any difficulties which shows how strong he is and implies that he might not be a human being but something much more powerful. He is supported by his 'pets' - 4 deforme-faced girls that are possibly his victims who once broke into the building, got kidnapped and went crazy. The movie doesn't tell us anything about his backstory, origin or reasons for living in warehouse.
