Release

Reception
Mike Massie from "Gone With The Twins" gave the film 4 out of 10 stars, stating: "The acting is mediocre, the dialogue is unconvincing, the characters are flimsy, and the story is shoddily constructed, but the tone is mostly serious, which helps counter the abundance of deficiencies in filmmaking techniques (and all of the unintentional hilarity)". James Jay Edwards writing for the website "Film Fracture" called the movie "over-the-top exploitation", saying: "As a movie, it’s a silly and amateurish affair, lit just a bit too darkly to completely see everything and full of actors who don’t seem to know quite how to deliver the corny dialogue". Kevin Matthews from "FlickFeast", wrote: "Wild Beasts is not hailed as a classic, and most likely it never will be, but it’s actually a lot of fun while it’s on and never dull, unlike some other entries in this particular sub-genre".

Wild Beast was nominated for the "Grand Prize" at the 1984 Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival.
