The Beast and the Vixens (1973) Dark Force Entertainment Blu-ray

Verdict
1.5

Summary

It’s a total garbage movie, but honestly it’s easy to sort of park your brain in the scratchy “B” movie zone of films such as this.

Plot:

Sasquatch collects babes in the wilderness.

 

Review:

Okay, so Bigfoot is real, all right? He’s a wooly thing that treads around the woods, seeking CHICKS. Hot chicks. He snatches women whenever he can. He grabs a girl paddling in a lake in a canoe. He peeks around at a couple having sex on a blanket. When he pops out, the guy runs off naked and screaming, and the nude girl faints. Sasquatch picks her up and carts her off. You see, Bigfoot has a lair: A CAVE! He deposits his captured women in his cozy nest like Donkey Kong. Does he rape these chicks? No, he just collects them. He also FEEDS them. Oranges! What a guy! What’s the plot? No plot! Sasquatch and his vixens, lots of naked chicks! Girls go camping. Girls have sex with each other and dream of nude shootouts on dusty streets. A biker gang shows up and rapes girls. Sasquatch busts up the party! Sasquatch is a hero? Dude, I don’t know.

 

A scratchy, patchwork grindhouse sex movie under the guise of a creature feature without a plot, The Beast and the Vixens is a total lookie-loo trash movie with its selling point being boobs, bush, and yes, even balls. The guy in the Sasquatch outfit doesn’t really do much but act like a voyeuristic pervert, and there’re no scares, just teases (and one really long, hairy butt sex scene), so what’s the appeal? I watched the film with the audio commentary playing just to see how much these film historians knew, and it turns out they knew a lot! They knew the history of the film, who the sex actresses were / are, how the film was intended for a hardcore release, but the version we were watching was the “R” version (the “horror” version) because there weren’t any elements remaining of the sex version, although some of the reels they used for this release was stitched from the last bits of the sex version that were located. Interesting. It’s a total garbage movie, but honestly it’s easy to sort of park your brain in the scratchy “B” movie zone of films such as this.

 

Dark Force Entertainment has just released a Blu-ray of this title, and it’s been scanned in 2K, though you’d never know it because of the condition of the film itself. It looks like it’s been run over by a train and dragged through the woods and then left to bake in the sun, so I don’t know what to say about that. The commentary was the best part.
