| HKFlix Says: |
Stunning production values and cinematography, though we were unimpressed by the meandering story and CGI effects. There is also not as much martial arts action here as there is rumored to be. |

| Plot: | A voracious beast is loose in the mountains of France circa 1765, and it's up to a group of unlikely heroes to track it down and destroy it.
|
| Overview: | Loosely based upon a French legend, the story tells of an unseen and seemingly intelligent beast that is brutally killing the women and children in a rural province of France in the mid-18th century. King Louis XV sends a court scientist to investigate accompanied by his blood brother, an Iroquois warrior. The two unconventional hunters struggle to track down and destroy the deadly creature as a plot to undermine the throne develops.
