The Wild Beasts

WILD BEASTS is the tender, joy-filled tale of what happens when PCP is introduced to the drinking water of zoo animals, driving them berserk. Cuddly critters make their escape, dining on unwary human snacks, after an elephant destroys the cage locking system.

From the infamous "rat attack" and "elephant car stomping" scenes, to the all-out shred-a-thon of the big cats' feeding frenzy, this movie makes other such films appear timid by comparison!

Unfortunately, as with many Italian gore films of the era, animal cruelty is included, sending several real animals to their premature, unnecessary doom. Still, in spite of all of its ludicrous elements, WB does manage to be entertaining throughout. Some of the more memorable scenes show a cheetah, a polar bear, cattle, etc., on the move down city streets or school hallways!

Stars exploitation movie regular, Lorraine De Selle as Laura.

Warning: Nothing can prepare you for the "shock" finale!...
