Dennis Harvey 48 Hills We do know there’s no taste like bad taste, and Wild Beasts offers a smorgasbord of that... Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The tone is mostly serious, which helps counter the abundance of deficiencies in filmmaking techniques (and all of the unintentional hilarity). Rated: 4/10 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Somehow PCP gets into the water supply that ends up driving the animals to attack people in this mid 80s eurotrash creature feature. Although the movie is never as fun as its concept promises. It still manages to be so utterly absurd especially when it concerns killer ballet dancer kids it's just fun and wild. What's really impressive is the real animals they used and I wonder how it all came together. The training must have been insane and I'm sure the film had some fatalities. 3.25/5 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Severin films Blu-Ray is fantastic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This film isn't a well made movie but it's remains slightly interesting just by seeing these different cultures.Also it is rated x Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A little too grisly to be actual fun for the most part this is not a bad entry in the animal on a rampage genre. It certainly doesn't pull any punches. A zoo full of animals go berzerk when PCP gets in their water supply & then the wild beasts mow the shit out of people..well except for the elephants who just glory stomp you. I think there was a disclaimer @ the beginning of this that no animals were hurt in production but it was in German so what the fuck do I know. It could have said that rats were flamed the holy piss out of & a cat was gawed to death. It looked like it anyways & left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially the cat. Hearing a cat in agony sickens my blood Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" but in the dark and the birds are every zoo animal...also they really kill the animals for the movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. So bad it's amazing! Zoo animals high on PCP unleashed on Frankfurt! See a cheetah chase down a volkswagon, an elephant squash a chick, a polar bear running amok through a school etc. Very fun to watch! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
