THE BEASTMASTER

After the sublime success of PHANTASM in ‘79, young filmmaker Don Coscarelli next turned his sights to the sword-and-sorcery genre and crafted one of the ultimate thrill rides in the genre! In his most iconic role, Marc Singer is Dar, crown prince of a family slaughtered by lords of evil. When he grows to manhood, Dar cultivates the ability to communicate with animals, seeks revenge on the monstrous priest Maax (Rip Torn), enlists the help of a cunning hunter (John Amos) and wins the love of a beautiful slave girl (Tanya Roberts). This thrilling mix of fantasy, action, adventure and horror was photographed by Oscar-winning Kubrick favorite DP John Alcott (BARRY LYNDON, THE SHINING, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE)!
