Calling all dungeonmasters! The follow-up to PHANTASM from young filmmaker Don Coscarelli, THE BEASTMASTER is a sublime entry in the 1980s sword-and-sorcery sweepstakes. It's also the only one that was photographed by John Alcott, the Oscar-winning, Kubrick favorite DP who filmed THE SHINING and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
Dar (Marc Singer) is the crown prince of a family that was slaughtered by a lords of evil. Transferred from his mother’s womb to the womb of a cow, Dar cultivates the ability to communicate with animals and seeks revenge on the monstrous priest known as Maax (Rip Torn). Like CONAN THE BARBARIAN crossed with a psycho DOCTOR DOOLITTLE, the wildly entertaining BEASTMASTER is an over-the-top explosion of fantasy, action, horror and goofballery that could only have been birthed in the 1980s.
