10 Ridiculously Outrageous Video Nasties

4. The Beast In Heat

Beastinheat 423 The Beast in Heat is a Nazi exploitation film (another genre that, by all rights, just doesn't need to exist) from Italy in 1977. It features fictionalized accounts of Nazi concentration camp atrocities, including the creation of an incubus-like half man/half beast monster by a hot female Nazi scientist. Based on a true story. The beast is this weird tiny little guy who is fed almost exclusively aphrodisiacs, and is used to torture and molest the female prisoners. So...there's that. This film redefined what we think of as low budget. Like, it hit rock bottom and then got a shovel. It features only one set (a pretty lame looking laboratory) and has about forty minutes of original footage. The rest is a shoddily put together combination of re-purposed stock war footage that doesn't even come close to blending with the new material, and several scenes from an entirely different movie made by the same director. This little gem is still banned in the UK and Australia, but to be perfectly frank, you're probably not missing much.
