Bit of a strange one. Period piece, martial arts and fantasy epic. Apparently at least inspired by actual events. There were somewhere around 100 deaths attributed to some unknown creature or creatures in a region of France in the 1760s. The movie is rather deliberately paced, keeps the mystery running for a good chunk of it's ample run time (2 1/2 hours). Fairly good acting performances and some good actions scenes. A few recognizable faces for me--Mark Dacascos, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci. Quite a bit of political intrigue, it might pay to know French history to understand better some of the undertones. Streaming on Amazon Prime. They have original French w/ subtitles and English dub available. I usually go with subtitles and original language, as I did with this one. [/QUOTE]
