After Alfred Fischer utilizes the power of a mysterious medallion to summon the demons, the beasts disguise themselves as beautiful women and rely on Fischer to provide them with the human flesh essential to their survival on Earth. Flash forward a century later when a team of parapsychologists find themselves facing a horrific secret while investigating Fischer's manor and former brothel. Will they survive the satanic horrors that await them upon venturing into the damned abode, or will their souls be forever lost to a devilish madman and a horde of bloodthirsty zombies? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Dave Kehr, New York Times
Fans of the genre -- or 'gore hounds' as they are known in fandom -- will find plenty to enjoy in Mr. West's enthusiastic approach to his work.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
The script is obvious and cliched and the action is more disgusting than frightening.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
While unlikely to achieve a place in the horror film pantheon, or even its sub-basement, the film will no doubt assume its rightful place in the video collections of the genre's more rabid -- and horny -- fans.
Jorge Morales, Village Voice
It's all gleefully over the top, but neither particularly campy nor scary.
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
Something of a lowbrow cheeseball riot.
Eric Campos, Film Threat
"Flesh for the Beast" is good times.
MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher
[O]ur idiot heroes... at the first sight of a breast -- even a skanky, possibly undead, probably germy one -- lose about 75 IQ points and all sense of self-preservation.
Ken Fox, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Derivative, indifferently acted, artlessly photographed and awash in nudity and rudimentary gore effects, this direct-to-DVD feature mars the producing debut of longtime horror and exploitation distributor Media Blasters.

If you can put up with movies with pocket money budgets, extremely bad acting, unknown actors, ridiculous plots, crappy dialogue, and scenes of complete pointlessness, then you'll probably get through watching "Flesh for the Beast" without suffering too much infront of your TV. It's a film that's basically been aimed at the gore hound out there, and I being one of them will enjoy this film more than most, even if the gore did look pretty damn fake. As for the plot...I won't waste another word on that. It's an absolute sleaze-fest, and all you'll find yourself doing is waiting for the next gory death or sex scene to occur. Though it may be a beyond poor movie, I applaud the Director for putting out a movie which isn't watered down and softened to make it more marketable like Hollywood do. So, entertain it does - you'll either be howling with laughter at how bad it sucks or be revelling in the sight of blood drenched intestines and the sexy nakedness of the seductive ladies.
