In The Gutter Looking At Stars 12 : FLESH FOR THE BEAST


POUNDLAND treasure this time, the uncut version of this Fulciesque gore and nudity fantasy.
Tag Line : OPEN THE GATE, STEP IN, LOSE YOUR MIND
Dunno where the gate is but still, it could be the gate to the lovely gothic house in which the film is set, or it could be a metaphysical gate, or it could be a tag line writer too bloody lazy to watch the film.
A 1920s mad millionaire gets his hands on an egyptian amulet which promises great power but, as a side effect unleashes three (or four) Succubi who have sex with and then devour men (and women).
Cut to the present and a group of university funded parapsychologist engage on a ghost hunt led by the worlds least convincing scientist who wears a tight white vest ( a black dude who's name escapes me) all muscles and macho one liners.
One by one the investigators are picked off by the succubuses fulfilling their fantasys before ripping them to shreds. Great fx - not cgi , just good honest to goodness offal bags - great. reminds me of clasic 80s Italian gore.
The twist at the end is a suprise, well it was for me but I had been distracted by the full frontal nudity a bit.
One of poundlands best.
Sadly Lisafer didnt like this - says its a bloke film
5 stars and a flange shot.(Dave)
