Dave Kehr New York Times Fans of the genre -- or 'gore hounds' as they are known in fandom -- will find plenty to enjoy in Mr. West's enthusiastic approach to his work. Rated: 3/5 Oct 10, 2003 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post The script is obvious and cliched and the action is more disgusting than frightening. Rated: 1/4 Oct 10, 2003 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter While unlikely to achieve a place in the horror film pantheon, or even its sub-basement, the film will no doubt assume its rightful place in the video collections of the genre's more rabid -- and horny -- fans. Oct 10, 2003 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 23, 2003 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Something of a lowbrow cheeseball riot.

Audience Member A crappy retread of a Shining or House on Haunted Hill, among many other similar themed movies. Flesh for the Best only offers an awesome Buckethead score that is a mix of Death Cube K sounding and his classic riffs and shreds. The acting is bad, script sucks, and the makeup is weak. Decent blood though. Only thing that works is the Buckethead score and the Deli Creeps song in the closing credits. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful acting in this thin-skinned splatter flick. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The good things about this movie (gore and nudity) are ultimately snuffed out by bad acting, forgettable characters, bad editing and too many moments that should have been scary, but were just awkward and dull. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This place makes Amityville look like a spinning tea cup ride Six paranormal experts arrive at an old house to begin their studies. They have limited resources but an abundance of expertise. Shortly after arriving in the house they are confronted by a host of ghosts that utilize temptation to lure the experts to their deaths. "It's a house. Nothing more." Terry West delivers Flesh of the Beast in his major motion picture directorial debut. The storyline for this picture is fairly standard for the haunted house genre. There isn't anything overly original; however, the kill sequences and gore elements were entertaining. The quality of film and special effects is limited and the acting is well below average. The cast includes Jane Scarlett, Sergio Jones, and Clarke Beasley. "Just lay back and enjoy the ride." I watched this movie as part of a Grondhouse box set and was surprised with several aspects of this film. This definitely is not a "good movie," but it does have some "so bad it is good" elements that kept it entertaining. This is a movie worth watching if you are in the mood to watch a bad horror picture. "Does a hallucination feel like this?" Grade: C- Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Just when I thought movies couldn't be so bad....this was hard to get through and not laugh and crack jokes at.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Dive head first into this campy low budget horror with plenty of humor and guts! As a men fall victim to a group of succubus' in a mansion. Stellar soundtrack from guitar genius Buckethead. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
