A beautiful, nefarious senior female SS officer/doctor (Macha Magall) creates a genetic, mutant human Beast (half man/half beast). The Beast is a rapacious, squat, mongoloid sex fiend which she uses to torture and molest female prisoners while the Nazis watch.
This film really has no redeeming qualities. A knockoff of "Ilsa", it tries to up the ante with more torture, nudity and general excess. Arguably, it succeeds in this attempt, but that does not make it a better movie. Director Luigi Batzella offers nothing interesting, and even has to pad the 86 minutes with footage from another of his films, "When the Bell Tolls".
Salvatore Baccaro (the "beast" of the title) has the perfect body for a character actor. He was in Dario Argento's little-seen "Five Days", s well as "Deep Red". Though his role in this film is reprehensible, this is really the fault of the script an those involved... in fairness to Baccaro, he is spot-on as far as being a crazed beat goes, so well played.
