What the ham & eggs did I just watch? This 2000 movie from HP Lovecraft veteran Brian Yuzna can only be described as a superhero snuff film with half of the cast of Holby City. As yet, we don't have a dedicated section for this genre on CultFilmzUK.
Plot: Mark Frost (countless British police/hospital soaps) wakes up in his art studio with a dead girlfriend and a temperamental American accent. When he is approached by a mysterious figure, he is offered the power of 'The Beast', as long as he takes out apeshit vengence on his bird's murderers, Wolverine-style (*snick snick*). On the run from living legend Jeffrey Combs (Reanimator, The Frighteners), Frosty seeks help in controlling his demon side from a therapist who believes playing Sepultura to the mentally fragile is the best course of action.

Budget: €3,000,000
Gross: €746,187
Fun Fact: One of the films policemen is played by voice dubbing actor Miguel Angel Jenner who, in Spain, is the voice of Samuel L Jackson.
