Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
If you crave an over-the-top historical kung fu-fantasy epic with a good dose of voluptuous nudity, bravura machismo, and passions so intense they verge on ridiculous, then Brotherhood of the Wolf is your movie. Based (loosely) on an 18th-century legend, this French film follows a hunky scientist (Samuel Le Bihan, who's sort of a second-string Christopher Lambert) 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 (Émilie Dequenne) and a gorgeous prostitute (Monica Belluci) with secrets. The plot grows more and more incomprehensible, but the mix of torrid emotions, outrageous action sequences, and lurid titillation is really what the movie is about. Ignore the highbrow philosophizing and confused political intrigue; just enjoy the sensual images. --Bret Fetzer

Rating: - Excellent monster movie!
This is more of a monster movie than a horror film. Set in France a few centuries back, it tells the story of a werewolf-like creature that stalks the countryside. Based on a true story, it is a European-made movie and as a result features actors unknown to an American audience. They all turn in a good performance. The settings, costumes and evenly-balanced story all help to make this one of the better monster movies you will see. The special effects are cool and the atmosphere and cinematography ... Read More
Rating: - Brotherhood of the Wolf
This was a great buy. I would highly recommend it. It had extra footage and was a lot of fun to see.
Rating:  - This director's cut could have been better
Don't get me wrong, I love the movie. Brotherhood of the Wolf ( Le Pacte Des Loups ) is an entertaining stew that mixes period costume drama, monster movie, martial arts action and political thriller. Every frame is beautiful to look at and it's a lot of fun.
In fact, if you haven't seen it, or only have the single disc domestic edition, I would definitely recommend picking this up. However ...
Some time ago, I picked up the canadian ... Read More
