THIS FILM CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS.

An homage to low-budget creature features, DON’T LET THE RIVERBEAST GET YOU! tells the sad tale of an exiled tutor who returns to his hometown in the hopes of resuming his once exalted educational rapport and win back the love of his life. But he becomes become wrapped up in a deadly saga involving the mysterious beast who got him ostracized from his loved ones in the first place.

DON’T LET THE RIVERBEAST GET YOU! has everything you could possibly want in a film: a bloodthirsty aquatic monster, a conniving muckraker, a world class tutor, a vagabond, an original song and dance number, and former professional athlete Frank Stone (played by Motern fan favorite Kevin McGee). Arguably Motern’s biggest crowd-pleaser, the film is a hilarious, labyrinthine odyssey into one man’s quest for redemption—and one New England town’s search for the truth about what really lurks in their woods.

Q&A with Matt Farley & Charlie Roxburgh, moderated by Will Sloan.
