In a rural province of France, a mysterious creature is laying waste to the countryside, savagely killing scores of women and children. Unseen, possessed of enormous strength and a human intelligence, the beast has eluded capture for years. King Louis sends in a renowned scientist and his Iroquois blood brother, an unconventional team whose combined methods and capabilities may bring the beast down. But the true nature of the beast is not what anyone could have anticipated.

soon Gans will be deftly intertwining the tropes of Hammer horror, court intrigue, romantic melodrama, murder mystery, creature feature, action extravaganza and revenger’s tragedy to put his own imprint in this by-road of French history. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) May 11, 2023

...the film has a little of everything and, to many people watching it, it tends to lose its focus. To this viewer, this ADHD person, this is heaven! Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film May 15, 2023

Andy's E @andrew139 Mar 9, 2026 great movie only in french as the english dub is terrible as the words dont fit the lips and looks terrible See more James A @Droz27 Jul 3, 2025 The martial arts in a period piece was inauthentic and unnecessary, plenty of other ways to make medieval combat interesting. The beast looks so bad it's impossible to get past, and the cheap ways they hide it make this look like a mid Netflix movie. The dubbing was the only bright spot, but the script was so bad I couldn't finish it. See more Kevin H @RT28296753 Oct 14, 2024 I think the director must of been on drugs and to enjoy it, the audience should be on drugs. This was one painful movie. It just went on and on and on. The main protagonist is a combination of Grasshopper, Daniel Boone, and both characters in Dumb and Dumber. Beware. See more G S @RT60175758 Aug 24, 2024 Watching this in 2024, I felt the bad CGI kept taking me out of the moment. It's a shame because I enjoyed it otherwise. Worth a watch. See more Tim M @tgmacman Jun 25, 2024 Its genre-mashing makes for strange bedfellows, but Brotherhood of the Wolf is nevertheless a neat diversion into historical folklore.
