The Being
The Being is a 1981 American horror film written and directed by Jackie Kong in her directorial debut, starring Martin Landau, José Ferrer, Dorothy Malone, comedian Ruth Buzzi, Marianne Gordon, and exploitation film producer Bill Osco, who is billed as "Rexx Coltrane" in the opening credits and "Johnny Commander" in the closing credits. It focuses on a detective who is trying to solve a string of grisly murders and disappearances in a small Idaho town. Kong, a recent college graduate, was given a $4.5 million budget from her then-husband Bill Osco to write and direct a film. Principal photography began in 1980 in Idaho under the title Easter Sunday. The Being had its world premiere in Tucson, Arizona on May 8, 1981, under the alternate title Beauty and the Beast. It was later distributed under the title The Being in November 1983 through the distributor Best Film and Video Corporation.
