Wild Beasts

About This Movie

Wild Beasts is a bizarre Italian gem, and it’s got that one-of-a-kind blend of action, horror, and pure chaos that makes it stand out. The premise is bonkers—PCP in the water supply leading to zoo animals going berserk in Frankfurt. It’s got this gritty, raw feel, with some surprisingly effective practical effects that show the animals rampaging through the city. The pacing isn’t exactly tight, but that just adds to the chaotic charm. The performances, especially from the regular folks caught up in this madness, add a layer of absurdity. It's everything you expect from an Italian exploitation flick: over-the-top violence, a touch of social commentary, and a whole lot of unpredictability.

Released in 1984, directed by Franco Prosperi. · Features notable practical effects for animal attacks. · Filmed on location in Frankfurt, enhancing the urban chaos. · A mix of horror, action, and Italian exploitation styles.
