AWAKENING OF THE BEAST

Sex, perversion, and sadism abound as a psychiatrist experiments on four volunteers with LSD in this surreal examination of 60s drug culture. What starts as a pseudo-documentary featuring a panel of psychiatrists and writer/director José Mojica Marins himself as an expert in depravity soon becomes something much, much stranger. Shot in both black-and-white and eye-searing color, AWAKENING OF THE BEAST is a singular Brazilian horror classic from the legendary Coffin Joe. New 4K restoration by Arrow Films.
