The Beast In Heat

In a country chateau owned by a noble, a family fallen from glory eagerly awaits their son’s impending marriage to a well-to-do American woman. The family prepares for the son to be baptized and attempts to get a blessing from their relative, a cardinal, who apparently wants nothing to do with them. The new bride falls asleep and dreams of a beast that roams the countryside ravaging young women with its enormous crank. When she wakes, her groom-to-be has died. His relatives discover beast-like hair all over his body, plus a small tail. Stars Sirpa Lane, Lisbeth Hummel and Elisabeth Kaza.
