Una extraña criatura aterroriza a los campesinos de la región de Gévaudan, en la Francia del siglo XVIII, dejando a su paso cadáveres mutilados. En 1766, recién llegado de América, Grégoire de Fronsac es enviado por el rey Luis XV para encontrar a la fiera e identificarla. Los lugareños creen que las muertes son obra del diablo, pero Grégorie y su hermano de sangre, el misterioso indio Mani que le acompaña, descubre que detrás del animal salvaje, amaestrado para matar, se esconde una diabólica sociedad secreta que sólo desea la sumisión del campesinado.

In the competition for the most botched theme, Gans wins the prepared wolf plague. The sad thing is, because of how exciting and well-built this film can be at times, it's not properly funny in other places. The alternation of the torn action plane with a dark drama about the coming change of order is simply like drunk regulars in a cheap Hamburg tavern. There should be less kung-fu, less Vinnetou, and more spoiled sophistication, like the realia and the magnificent Cassel bring to the film. The idea seems brilliant to me, the processing burned like a cheap burger at a booth.

The Brotherhood of Wolves is a type of French blockbuster movie that attempts to resemble overseas blockbusters with its colorful plot, exteriors, and action elements, and it succeeds fairly well. It is necessary to highlight the excellent camera work, dynamic action, romantic exteriors, and decent visual effects. What falls behind is the screenplay, which clearly doesn't pay too much attention to the logic of the plot on screen and a whole range of significant details. The Native American and his European friend use East Asian martial arts, and the monster on screen seems more like an intrusion from another genre. Nevertheless, it is enjoyable to watch and the viewer isn't bored for a moment. Overall impression: 50%.

Another French attempt to make a film in a Hollywood package, but this time it got out of hand. The result is a mess, with a monster like in Predator, a victim caught like in Jaws, love, sex, kung fu (in 17th century France !!), an Indian, a mutant villain, etc. It's terrible crap, but I have to say I wasn't bored.

Undoubtedly, the film’s assets include Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci’s performance, as well as the fact that at certain moments I watched it with a kind of perverse joy. That’s it, however, in terms of the positives. It was basically a hodgepodge of various genres, which was neither here nor there. It would have been worth only one star, but another one goes to Monica Bellucci...
