Product Description
Once upon a time in the 18th century a beast lived in the woods of an aristocratic estate. And this beast, possessed of a giant phallus and an insatiable lust, set upon the beautiful young lady of the house. Two centuries later, the tale of the beast would return in the dreams of an American heiress contracted to carry the male descendant of the same crumbling aristocratic family and their secret.

4.A modern-day version of "Beauty And The Beast", "The Beast" is the story of a young American heiress, Lucy Broadhurst, betrothed to the mentally unstable heir to a French aristocratic dynasty. Dark rumors abound about a mystical beast, and on the night of her wedding, Lucy is visited by strange and erotic dreams.

Set in a beautiful gothic chateau, the film features hilarious couplings, not so pure clergy, and unwholesome secrets shot in a superb brushstroke style, climaxing in what has to be one of the most erotic--and at the same time hilarious--finales of all time.
