Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "Mr. West is too self-conscious about what he is doing -- though his self-consciousness never turns to campy condescension -- to capture the first-degree thrills of a naïf like Fulci. Material that seemed to spring straight from the Italian filmmaker's subconscious seems somewhat studied and academic here, as if it were set off by quotation marks. Still, fans of the genre -- or "gore hounds" as they are known in fandom -- will find plenty to enjoy in Mr. West's enthusiastic approach to his work."   The review notes: "Although cheap looking and amateurishly acted, "Flesh for the Beast," which features a music score by the eccentric guitarist Buckethead, doesn't invite huge critical derision, if only for the palpable enthusiasm of both the cast and filmmaker for their gory shenanigans. While unlikely to achieve a place in the horror film pantheon, or even its sub-basement, the film will no doubt assume its rightful place in the video collections of the genre's more rabid -- and horny -- fans."   The review notes: "Derivative, indifferently acted, artlessly photographed and awash in nudity and rudimentary gore effects, this direct-to-DVD feature mars the producing debut of longtime horror and exploitation distributor Media Blasters."   The review notes: "A paranormal crew of six arrive at a crumbling old mansion where they encounter scary ghost zombies and three young women who taunt, tease, and beg their victims for sex before becoming killer cannibals (with now common BUFFY... style demon faces). The main attractions are gallons of blood, the gut ripping, eating (and puking) and the pigtailed underage look Cassandra (Esmeralda "Ruby" De La Roca) who is naked in the longest standout sex scene. The Euro Pauline (Carol Hoermann) is raped on a bathroom sink. A flashback features the occultist killer (Aldo Smanbrell from many Italian westerns) who built the mansion and a gypsy fortune teller (Caroline Munro). With Jane Scarlett (from Newark, Ohio) as the blonde who has psychic visions (and also gets naked), Sergio Jones as the sinister new owner, Barbara Joyce as the other succubi, and Clarke Beasley Jr. as the muscular, bald black group leader who (surprise!) dies first. The noisy discordant music by guitarist Buckethead is very effective and the cinematography and fast editing work is top notch. The guest stars (both also in THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD) are interviewed as part of the letterboxed DVD extras. West directed Seduction Cinema sex movies. This was made in Yonkers, NY. See feverdreams.com"   The review notes: "An eccentric millionaire (is there any other kind?) calls ghostbusters in to exorcise his shadowy manse, which he says "makes Amityville look like a spinning teacup ride." Turns out the house was once an upscale brothel, and its former residents now haunt the premises in the form of insatiable, flesh-eating succubi. But this setup's merely an excuse for redundant scenes of satanic sybarites, hosed down in blood, writhing on pentagrams, and pulling their still-living visitors' guts out as an amuse-bouche. It's all gleefully over the top, but neither particularly campy nor scary. For those who like a little t&a; with their blood and gore, however, Flesh for the Beast serves up ample portions of each."  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Flesh for the Beast to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
