Beastmaster Ratings & Reviews
- joaquin medina23 mars 2026This movie from the 80's like it so much I insist please put subtitles in spanish no no in Mexican I don't like spanish
- EnochLight10 maj 2025Often cited as a cheap imitation of Conan the Barbarian (which was released the same year just 3 months prior), Don Coscarelli's epic got a bad wrap IMHO. The world-building in this film is absolutely amazing, and the cinematography is excellent. While it has its issues - Tanya Roberts is largely relegated to being eye candy (which, honestly - not mad about it!) and there's some uncomfortable scenes that did not age well, the effects are "ok", the sword fighting mediocre at best, some unresolved issues (ummmm - Marc Singer's Dar and Tanya Roberts Kiri are actually royal cousins!), the film manages to wrap up in an absolutely epic end battle shot largely at night. This film ruled repeats on 80's cable TV straight into the 90's, cementing it as a pop culture icon. Give it a watch - the 4K HDR release is fantastic and worth the money for the Blu-Ray. I've made it a permanent part of my Plex collection!
- nickat611 mars 2026Fun 80s fantasy action adventure. Conan with some humour.
- SealTeamOne23 februari 2026Every time I meet someone under 30 who loves Conan, I mention this Coscarelli gem and recommend they immediately brand themselves with the mark of Ar.
- tmmzh30 maj 2025A classic as far as im concerned. And way ahead of its time on creatures, props, etc.
- Pissed Off Papa15 februari 2026Still to day a great classic, I watched it back in the day when it was released and I watch it again over and over. You just can not get tired of Tanya Roberts special scene.
- Leon Hambly10 januari 2026black tiger thunmbs up, cousin kissing double thumbs up, suctioning night monster triples thumbes for me' i love the jun army suctioning so much!!!
- Michael Surber19 januari 2026Cheesy, campy and directed by none other than Don Coscarelli. What more could one possibly want from a film?
- Andrew Burns30 juni 2025Temu He-Man. Feathered middle part. Human hawk squak. Sludge bats. Random nudity. Unexplained prophecy. The manager of McDowell’s as your ally. FERRETS!
