In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
View MoreBy the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreGot to see this movie dubbed on late night, after reading the plot i said hey why not.It start off with this hit-man who makes a deal with the worst band of Yakuza i have ever seen, to steal diamonds from a car but not to hurt anyone.He kills everyone and double crosses the yakuza and is Asian girlfriend, now that was funny instead of killing them all during the trading, he kills only 2 and lets the rest live.The most hilarious line follows, brother and sister (we will learn how to use guns and hunt him down.) hahahaa funniest line ever.So they try to kill him but he ends up getting really hurt in the mountain of Spain, he gets rescued by a doctor and is 2 daughters near the end we find out he had three.Positive if you like very good looking women this movie is it, some of the most beautiful women are in that movie, if you are looking for logic and a great movie its not it.I am not going to spoil the ending but you know something is fishy when you see a fat guy able to get all the super hot women...... so there you have it.
View MoreAn Asian crime syndicate enlists the aid of Paul Naschy in a diamond heist, a choice they come to regret when he violently betrays them. He subsequently kills the syndicate leader, the daughter of whom he's been feigning a romantic interest. She shoots Naschy in a vengeful rage, but he escapes into the wilderness. Severely wounded with the cold hands of death upon him, he magically awakens in the personal care of an eccentric doctor and his two sexy daughters.At this point, the film switches gears, and what began seemingly as an action/crime film gives way to a disorienting hybrid of revenge thriller, lurid sexploitation drama, and gialliesque slasher mystery. The situational goings-on are quite strange, and while the film is rather carelessly paced and atrociously dubbed, it aptly manages to hold you by the throat straight up to its bizarre summation.This one takes some time to get the ball rolling, but once the stage is set, you may well be glad you stuck with it. All its inconsistencies aside, HUMAN BEASTS is a likable little dish of a very different flavor.5.5/10
View MorePaul Naschy (born Jacinto Molina) was Spain's most famous horror star, best known for the role of the lycanthropic Waldemar Daninsky, whom he played a total of 12 times in movies released between 1968 and 2004. Along the way, Naschy - who died of pancreatic cancer last year - acted in a couple of non-werewolf movies, including "El carnaval de las bestias" (alternately called "The Beasts' Carnival" and "The Human Beasts" in English). This one concerns a man (Naschy) who gets shot by some Japanese gangsters whom he betrayed and gets taken in by a mysterious doctor and his daughters...and later discovers that they have a gross passion.I guess that I didn't like this one as much as Paul Naschy's other flicks, partially due to the rather vague plot, and also just because I prefer watching Naschy grow fur and fangs. But even so, it was an OK movie. Just see if you want to eat meat after watching it.I wonder what the result would have been had Paul Naschy ever worked with Pedro Almodóvar.
View MorePaul Naschy is Bruno, who double crosses his girlfriend Mieko (Eiko Nagashima) and an Asian gang to steal some diamonds. They are hot on his trail while he holes up with a kind doctor (Lautaro Murúa).Of course, the doctor has two beautiful daughters (Silvia Aguilar & Azucena Hernández) and a hot maid (Roxana Dupre). It remains to be seen who ends up with Bruno.Meanwhile, there are some very strange and gruesome things going on in the house. including an apparition (Julia Saly).But, the real goings on don't come until the end. One suspects something, but you are not sure until the end.A good Naschy film.
