Holy crap Cult epics, you sure do know how to find the films that
hit those nerves. In a Glass Cage was a brutal entry into sexuality
and perversion now this. The beast is surely one of those films that
you just say to people, “You don’t want to watch this, you will be
utterly disgusted from front to back”. Let me get into the sights of
this flick.
The beast derives form century old ancestors who pass on the illness
generation to generation. Matur is getting married, ancestors of the
beasts back in the days. Not forgotten but left untold. Father
treats his 40 year old son like a 5 year old. Doing his hair,
washing him, shaving him, telling him what to do. The American
Heiress arrives and the sexuality begins. Butlers are banging. The
priest who shows up for the ceremony brings along his alter boys and
pretty much has his way with them also. As the story progresses, the
more and more we find out what happened in the legends of the beast,
and in grave detail also. The story unfolds into a climax
(literally) of bestiality and devastation.
I know I have been subdued by some touching cinema but never have I
seen a full blown (literally) sex scene with a beast of some sort in
full spurting glory. You thought the ejaculation scene in
Necromantik was a little beyond bad taste? Think again my friend.
Loads and loads of yummy salty goodness erupts into what has become
animal lust. He has a huge wanger if you ladies would like to know
and the woman involved in the love making sure has a good time doing
it. Money shots, the whole kit and caboodle.
I understand it being an art film, also being derived from the
Beauty and The Beast story line but sometimes it goes beyond art and
into the perverse category or just plain too much for one to handle.
I’ve surely seen my share of flicks, and many have had a no holds
bar on them but when it dilly daddles into it this much then it goes
from being arty to just plain brutal. Not that I’m saying this movie
is bad, just that you tend to cringe more then indulge.
This release comes in a nice 3 disc package Disc 1 involves the
director’s cut, Trailers and stills. Disc 2 showcases a biography,
stills and a lost making of which was buried for over 25 years. So
that is the treat of the whole thing really. Almost a whole side of
Walerian working his magic on the set. Disc 3 has the complete
version and lobby cards. A sweet ass rarity for cinephiles all
around
