BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF (2001)

Cast

Plot

Based on the myth of the Beast of Gevaudan, a creature that roamed the French countryside in the 18th Century slaughtering women and children. A revolutionary young scientist and his Iroquoi Indian companion are enlisted to hunt down the mysterious and perhaps supernatural animal, but the beast seems impossibly elusive and their troubles are compounded by the local authorities, some of whom appear to be hiding a dark secret. Brotherhood Of The Wolf is an insane mixture of horror, martial arts style action, skulduggery and period drama, but though the film's as messy as that would imply the whole makes for a hugely entertaining flick.
