Quick Answer

What is The Beast That Killed Women about?

The Beast That Killed Women is a 1965 American horror film directed by Barry Mahon about a gorilla-like beast terrorizing a nudist camp until the police use a female decoy to stop him.

Programmer's Pick

Nudistploitation meets creature feature in Barry Mahon's wild Miami mashup—expect sun, skin, and a gorilla suit with a mean streak. The film’s blend of naturist camp antics and psychotronic horror is as unapologetic as its title.

Overview

A sun-drenched weekend at a Miami nudist camp turns deadly when a horrific murder shocks the resort’s carefree guests. Panic spreads as the police begin searching for a supposed sex maniac, only to discover the real killer is a monstrous beast with a gorilla-like appearance prowling the woods near the lake. The animal’s hatred for women leaves the nudist community in fear as the police scramble to restore safety. Their plan: deploy an attractive policewoman to lure the beast out, setting the stage for a desperate confrontation. This is a low-budget slice of nudistploitation horror, where tranquil naturist life collides with grindhouse creature-feature mayhem.
