The Beast
Director: Walerian Borowczyk
Year Released: 1975
Rating: 1.5
An American heiress is shipped to France to marry a horse breeder - meanwhile, there's talk of a local legend involving a horny animal that once prowled around the forest. Mal: All attempts at acting, conversation, plot exposition and the close-ups of horse copulation (complete with dripping horse vagina). Bien: The last half hour is pure id, going through the transgressions with glee: while the lead female masturbates with a rose (in close-up), writhes around in bed and basically neglects to clothe herself, a man in a bear suit violates a woman in the woods over and over and over again. At first the woman resists, but the animal has the combined lust of an entire college fraternity after finals and is able to produce enough semen to put Peter North to shame (how I know this much about hardcore pornography is not worth going into).
