Hammer
horror, Jaws, Sleepy Hollow, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger...are
all distilled, and largely outdone, in this tale of the Beast
of Gévaudan in pre-Revolutionary south-western France. The
rationality of the Enlightenment confronts local irrationality
and atavistic cruelty in this extraordinarily exuberant, swashbuckling
drama.
Reviews
"Director
Christope Gans has given us an exhilarating ride with this
stylish period thriller" Peter Bradshaw,
