Wild Beasts - Belve feroci

PCP is unexplainably released into the Frankfurt water supply and sends the zoo inhabitants crazy. One evening after a malfunction of zoo security the gonzo critters rampage through the city eating and killing whatever they fancy, wreaking a night of bloody terror. It's up to regular Italian-trash whipping girl Lorraine De Selle and obnoxious Super Mario lookalike zookeeper John Aldrich to sort it out.

Why it matters

Wild Beasts delivers a delirious creature feature where PCP-fueled zoo animals run amok in a bloody, chaotic rampage through Frankfurt—perfect for fans of wild, unapologetic ’80s grindhouse horror.

  • A gonzo premise that turns the classic “animals on a rampage” trope into an absurdly fun bloodbath.
  • Lorraine De Selle’s fierce presence anchors the madness with grindhouse grit and snarling charisma.
  • Practical effects and animatronics lean into ’80s kitsch, amplifying the film’s low-budget charm and chaotic energy.
  • For viewers who crave wild creature chaos with a side of sleazy Eurotrash flair and zero polish pretension.
