Beast would be the perfect video to pop into your DVD player when having friends over for a Halloween orgy. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a great movie, however. In fact, it reminds me a bit of a cheesy old TV show from when I was a kid. Readers of a certain age will remember the ABC-TV daytime 1960s vampire/gothic-themed soap, Dark Shadows. Nothing truly terrifying ever happened, the plot moved at a snail’s pace, yet nevertheless, the look of the show made it seem that anything could happen at any moment.
And Beast is certainly reminiscent of Dark Shadows. The overall look is fascinating and quite different from anything you’ll see made stateside (Beast was made in France). The emphasis here is on mood rather than on coherent storytelling, and art director Elly Rossignol does an expert job at evoking a spooky, gothic, rustic atmosphere.
So why would it be great for your Halloween orgy? Well, the sex just isn’t hot enough to hold one’s attention but will certainly serve as an appropriate background to your party, while getting people sparked up just enough to get naked and start fucking! And any truly thoughtful host would certainly see the value in that!
The plot defies description but appears to be about a country manor’s owners and staff. Various people get lost in the fog out in the woods and find themselves at some sort of lair where pagans worship and/or are contolled by the Beast (which is some guy wearing an animal head mask). After being held captive, they are fed and given wine, and afterwards travel back to their manor, where they have sex with the owners’ family members and/or staff. On the other hand, they could be just fantasizing about it, and your guess is as good as mine.
So that leaves the sex. Many of the scenes are intentionally blurry (in order to evoke mood), and since some of the performers aren’t that attractive, the Vaseline on the camera lens actually helps. Of all the performers, the most photogenic is Jordan, a black guy with a nice, thick dick and a really hot body, who dominates the last half-hour or so of the movie.
The video itself is made in much the same way as porn films of the ’70s, with lots of long shots punctuated with inserts of grinding crotches. The editing isn’t smooth and appears to lack continuity, and the cumshots aren’t particularly well-recorded.
Nevertheless, Beast is perfect for your holiday gathering. It is guaranteed to start conversation, cause a giggle or two and get your guests either perplexed or bored enough to start some action of their own.

You never know what you'll get from director Jean-Marc Prouveur, whose work is downright bizarre. The plot and feel of "Beast" is no exception, but it also follows the well-worn Prouveur formula of efficient Western European sex. The guys waste no time in getting what they want and all the trappings don't distract them from getting it.
The movie starts in a dank house with muscled black Jordan hacking away at a piece of wood with a meat cleaver and adorable blond cutie Nikos scrubbing the floors in another room. Lording over both of them are cackling brothers Aiden Bonini, a tattoed guy with a big stud in one ear, and Franck Stanguennec, a hairy chap with a full beard. After pissing all over Jordan as he toils, they spill wine all over Nikos' floor and then pin him to a table where he's forced to suck their cocks. Well, forced may be too strong since he seems to really enjoy deep-throating the guys. Aiden very nicely sucks Nikos, so after just a few moments it's a rather loving three-way. The brothers finger Nikos together and then Aiden fucks him. Nikos looks absolutely thrilled as he's pushed all over the table by Aiden's spirited fuck. Naturally, Franck is right behind, so the brothers get to tag-team fuck him. With Nikos beaming, these majorly hung brothers switch off and keep him filled. Franck and Aiden each get a pec to cum on before taking brotherly love to the extreme of kissing. Nikos only gets to pop after they have gone.
Now, wandering through a fog-infested forest, wearing nothing on his legs but shocking yellow tights and clunky boots, is grizzled Luc Lemaitre. He does a lot of that wandering before happening upon a black edifice, and doesn't seem at all upset when he walks through a row of men in masks holding candles to get inside. Going into another room, guarded by two more masked men with just long johns, he comfortably takes a seat at the table. He's brought wine and even drinks it as apparitions start to appear on the wall (well, enough wine does that to a person).
One image on the wall is bubble-butted Mark Given, with loads of tattoos, doing a rather happy jack-off in blue tights. Bald goateed Luca Falcini, in pink tights, show up in his image and this gives Mark something to do (and Luc something to watch). Mark takes a fierce face-fuck from Luca's thick cock, but he's game for it and never lets the dick slip out of his mouth. Luc is then treating to the image of Luca sucking Mark's hefty dick, with Mark looking right at him from the image. Luca gives Mark a very masculine blowjob in excellent close-up and is ultimately able to chug the entire piece. Peppy Mark rims Luca's deep hole and gets in a lot of fingers before Luca tries his best to get his tongue between Mark's enormously puffy asscheeks orally. Mark fucks Luca for Luc's pleasure, able to bury his bigness way in there and plow Luca with lots of zest. Now it's Luca doing all the smiling. After a brief fuck, Mark, wearing angel wings now, sits with Luca so the two can cum. The image then evaporates.
However, Luc's serving boy in the red tights has not disappeared, and Luc finds handsome brown-haired Jon Janes lazing on a bed waiting for him. So, Luc pulls out Jon's cock and starts sucking. There's a rather tender feel to the scene, even when they switch places and Jon wraps his lips around Luc's cock to take an aggressive face-fuck. There still manages to be something very sensual. Luc is a very demanding man when he's being sucked and Jon has to work with a patient and spit-filled mouth to please him. Luc returns to sucking Jon, doing his best despite some erection issues from his partner. All these guys need is oral work and they can cum before Jon simply vanishes from the room.
Things are starting to make a bit of sense with the title card following the previous scene. You see, Luc is the father of that menagerie of men in the opening scene. Beast, who has apparently arranged for the pleasure that Luc just experienced, has demanded one of Luc's sons as payment. He ends up sending Jordan, who seems to win out being surrounded by all the hot men in tights at Beast's castle. He's even able to exchange his grungy tights for clean tights. And jewelry.
Staring at himself in a mirror, Jordan suddenly finds himself watching himself with tall lanky Brice Farmer, another of Luc's guys (I didn't say this part made any sense either). Jordan does a wonderful job sucking long-dicked Brice, making loving oral sounds as he zips up and down the length of the uncut piece. It's then Brice's turn to expose the dick in Jordan's tights and blow it. He keeps the momentum going, working ably on Jordan's fat slab. Jordan then gets to watch himself get fucked by Brice. Jordan's ass is deep and Brice plunges in fully, with a soft haze all around them to make the scene look extra pretty. There isn't much chemistry between the guys, but Brice is a hard worker and attacks with rhythm. The enchanted mirror shows Jordan popping a big cum-shot and then Brice following up.
Two days later, Jordan is looking awfully comfortable in his new locale, with all of those hot guys in masks there to serve him. It doesn't seem that they miss him back at home either, where Aiden, Franck and Brice are getting sloshed on wine and making out eagerly. Lucky Brice finds himself in the middle, being blown by Aiden and rimmed by Franck. Each guy goes about his task with some good oomph, but the hardness problems of this movie don't seem to abate so easily. Ultimately, Aiden ends up skewering himself on Franck's cock and rides it to take the crown for best bottom so far. He really works his way up and down the dick and from a very tough position. Aiden flips to topping Brice, whose tight hole can't take quite the punishment Aiden's could. Brice gets pelted by all three cum-shots. Oh, and by the way, Jordan has been watching this in his mirror. Does he miss Brice?
Not enough to stop him from playing with his masked serving boys. The anxious blower chows down on the two cocks offered to him very fast and then lets himself get fucked. His ass is certainly open to it and both guys fuck him alternately. The scene is only Jordan's plugged ass and his equally sated mouth, which doesn't help gain much momentum, but once again, things are technically quite ideal and the splashy shots at the end of the scene show three happy unloading cocks.
And that's the end. Want me to sum it up? Sorry, I can't, because I don't get it myself. If you do, please let me know!
