Candle-lit interior cinematography, lush misty landscapes, strong characters, exquisite costumes, an authentic boudoir recreation of 18th century French society, a new kind of savage ‘monster’ and some of the finest stylized fight scenes ever laid down in a ‘genre’ film, place Pacte des Loups also known as Brotherhood of the Wolf, among the classiest French horror adventure films of all time. And as a bonus we have Monica Bellucci naked !!

Based (loosely) on an 18th-century legend, this French film follows a hunky scientist (Samuel Le Bihan) and his Iroquois sidekick/spiritual partner (Mark Dacascos) as they pursue a monstrous wolf ravaging the French countryside. Along the way Le Bihan gets entwined with a beautiful noblewoman (Emilie Dequenne) and a gorgeous prostitute (Monica Belluci) with secrets to tell. Go for it.
