The Angel and the Beasts (1978)

hyped garbage

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I saw this movie first time 2 days before on a German digital channel at night. First i was very curious, when i read the description. But after a while I thought, h'm...!!! Nothing exciting! Only nude people! A little bit action! Very lousy dialogs! I like trashy movies! OK go on! After one hour I was so tired I felt into sleep. So movie lovers out there, you don't miss nothing with this boring gap filler. Wasting time!!! OK I give you a short description! At the beginning a plane, on board a young woman and an old man, get down into the jungle. The young woman survive, and found herself on a beach. She was caught by a group, two macho man and her girlfriends. The leader of the group, a very hairy man, wants to have intimate contact with the young woman. And now the story gets confused. Look the movie, and you will understand. See ya people!!!

I just watched this movie under the title "Triangle of Lust", from Czech auteur of 60's and 70's exotica Hurbert Frank. It was Friday night, pizza and a movie, except this week a baseball game was being aired. By the time the pie was hot my team's pitcher was cold, haven given up 3 home runs and it was only the 4th ending. And all to the same player! So it was back to the movie plan , one English dubbed exotic action adventure of some rarity. Filmed in the enchanting Canary Islands, Spain,a young dark beauty has to bailout of a small plane; the angel. She washes up on the lush island that is being used by a couple of guys and their women as a hide-out, they're on the mean and nasty side; the beast. Back in the big city, the plot thickens and turns but never builds any suspense. I won't detail the plot any further, it's already forgotten. It's a routine action adventure story and predictable with the customary mix of escape attempts and love scenes, which are rather tame considering this was rated X originally. With the 78 minute run time and several abrupt scene jumps, it may have lost more then the German dialect when it was dubbed in English. But it does boost several memorable scenes that save it. That is if you count a fistfight between two of the bad guys being joined by one of the women doing a modern dance around them in a clearing outside the house and some interesting horse play on the beach. Putting things into perspective, this movie will be much more fun to watch then seeing your team down 9-1 in the 7th ending and it too throws things at you out of left field right up to the last out.
