BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF

With Mark Dacascos, Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci
Directed by Christophe Gans

An interesting, but not altogether successful mixture of French period piece, monster horror and kung-fu action adventure. A beast is terrorizing the countryside, the population in a grip of fear. A naturalist expert is called in to investigate. With his sidekick they start to find a trail, which leads to more than an anticipated beast, but secrets, lies and deception. The digital FX as opposed to the prosthetic Jim Henson Creature Shop FX are sometimes questionable, but the film's biggest triumph is its attempt at blending the varied genres with an added
rare treat - the South African video release is actually presented in letterbox format.
