WILD BEASTS

“The final word on ‘nature gone rampant’ films." - Nathanial Thompson, Mondo Digital

The insane ‘80s eco-revenge shocker from Franco Prosperi: the notorious co-director of MONDO CANE! The premise couldn’t be simpler: whe nthe water supply for a large city zoo becomes contaminated with angel dust(!), tigers, lions, cheetahs, hyenas and elephants get loose and all become unstoppable killing machines. This gory Italian beast gleefully eschews logic or even semblance of filmic reality act by act, until action items like “commercial airliner crashing into murderous elephant” become the norm. Eurocult players Lorraine De Selle (CANNIBAL FEROX, HOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE PARK) and Ugo Bologna (NIGHTMARE CITY) star in this devastating urban bloodbath.
