In 1975, European movie audiences were enthralled by "The Beast," an erotic horror film about a young woman ravished by a mysterious cloven footed manimal. Then a few years later, "Star Wars" came out and someone had the genius-level brainstorm, "What if The Beast ... was in space?" That's how you end up with this sci-fi erotic adventure, just re-released on DVD by Severin Films (the fine folks who brought you "Malabimba" and "The Sister of Ursula.") We'll have a full review of the film for you soon, but for now here's a little taste of what happens when Italian "spaghetti sci-fi" meets lurid French hardcore. With evil, mineral-hoarding robots!
