Watch The Beast For Free

Too much of everything

the audience applauded

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

i saw this movie years ago - i think i watched it on HBO or something - i really cannot remember. i just remember that i loved it - i thought it was one of the most sexual movies - even graphic - i had ever seen on TV. it was kinda of silly in some parts but very very sexual and stimulating at the least. it is all about a young sexually frustrated girl who gets all excited about a hairy type beast in the woods. first of all in the beginning she watches two horses getting it on and gets all excited. then she is married to some guy who never gives her any. then one day while hunting for a lost sheep - she get chased by some monster type beast (ape) or what ever it is. then the beast ape masturbated a gallon all over her. the beast ape is hung like a horse and she likes that as well. then there is a scene where she masturbates the ape man with her feet - again he shoots off a gallon. finally the ape man gets her good and she loves it. i thought it was pretty good - got me all excited as well as my girlfriend at the time. - if you love good old fashioned bestiality - this movie is great for you. as for me - i just loved it and want to watch it again if i can find it on DVD.

I saw this film in a London cinema in 1975 and have not seen it since. I found it hilarious. I loved it's originality. It's rare that someone MAKES a movie like this - and it's sad too.What I mean is, I once read a book called "The Black Hotel" - and as a film-fan, I always "picture" books as films. Kinda "adapt" them, you know? But as I read it, I thought, well, this would make a great movie - but of course it would have to be "adapted" - to the point where it would bear little relationship to the book.But then I thought, well WHY? Sure, it could never be shown on Sunday afternoon TV, but provided it were shown in cinemas to ADULTS, who knew what it contained, where's the HARM? Dammit, my civil liberties were being crushed here. A director SHOULD be able to make a literal film adaptation of "The Black Hotel".In an ideal World, censorship of films for adults should not EXIST. But sadly, whilst I accept that with INTELLIGENT adults, such freedom might be harmless, there would always be those who would lack the rationality to differentiate between fantasy and reality, and who might be spurred on to commit foul deeds.However, it's hard to see how "La Bete" falls into that category.On it's appearance in England, the British censor dismissed it out of hand. Despite the '69 relaxation on nudity, given the film's theoretical theme of bestiality, had the censor passed ANY of it, he'd have been looking for a new job on Monday.BUT... in those days, there was an alternative. The G.L.C. This was a local town council with a department who had the power to pass a film just for London, where it was deemed audiences were more "sopisticated" than those who lived out in the sticks.The film was duly submitted and PASSED. However, it later emerged that the "board" consisted of just four people - three who voted, plus a "chairman". And on the day, one of the voters was off sick. Thus the remaining two voters and the chairman sat down to view "La Bete".One of said voters thought, like me, that the film was hilarious and hardly likely to encourage foul deeds by ANYONE. The other lacked imagination and simply thought the piece disgusting. And the chairman didn't understand it, so decided to err on the side of FREEDOM.When the missing voter finally saw the film, they too thought it disgusting, but it was TOO LATE! The film had received its "X-London" certificate and opened to mixed reaction. The G.L.C. film censorship board was disbanded soon after! Thus "La Bete" only opened in London by what could best be termed a FLUKE! But I'm glad it was. It's GREAT! If you haven't seen it, DO so. It's a FANTASY, and as such, it's far less disturbing than most things you see on the news these days...

this movie had a fairly good sounding plot, but the paste was very slow... very slow indeed. even if someone thinks this is a cult classic, i think that there are a lot better films from that era to be watched.the cinematography is not excellent, but not the worst either. the sounds are OK. lighting OK.i still wouldn't recommend this to anyone else than maybe a film-student.the movie does not contain music, and the horses having sex don't make it a good one either. and the woman masturbating on the edge of the bed was plain stupid.no winnings here, skip this utter boredom. i've seen worse believe me, but this is just waste of time, and i don't get the good reviews here. especially the high ratings...

First scene is 2 horses graphically mating.Then we see a hairy guy get shaved because a lady is coming to marry him. He's a heir to a fortune you see. But one of his distant relatives may have been a sasquatch.No, I'm serious.The "rape" of his OTHER distant relative (the female) was also graphically shown...over and over again. Too many times. And too many close ups.The wink-nudge about the too young boys and the priest being friendly to them will not be missed I hope.Sex all over implied here. But the only sex scenes involved a bigfoot copy.Judge for yourself.
