In the second part, our hero Chevalier de Fronsac will not only have to fight the Beast, but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and will rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a prostitute, as well as the enigmatic Mani, an Iroquois he met in New-France (Canada).So, are they taking on the original Doom Control or the Teen Titans in this film? Oh wait, I'm sorry, that's Brotherhood of Evil, though you can probably understand why I got mixed up, because with this film's English title and poster, - which features Samuel Le Bihan and Vincent Cassel in a dark and isolated setting while they wear costumes that scream either, "Cool period piece" or, "Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom!" - I couldn't tell whether this was a, well, as I said, cool period piece or something that Alan Moore would come up with. The Beast has been attacking women and children for months and nobody has been able to harm it or even take a good look at it. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan region, in the mountainous central part of France. Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorized France in the eighteenth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people.To this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, a wolf? a hyena? or something supernatural? The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. In 1764 something was stalking the mountains of central France.
