La bête

Based On the book by Prosper Mérimée

The Beast (French: La Bête) is a 1975 French erotic horror film written, edited, and directed by Walerian Borowczyk. Although sometimes compared with Beauty and the Beast, there are no parallels in the plot except that it features the relationship between a beast (monster) and a woman. The film was noted for its explicit sexual content, including teratophilia (attraction to monsters), upon its initial release. It has become a cult film.
