Brotherhood of the Wolf | 4K UHD + Blu-ray (Shout! Factory)

RELEASE DATE: May 23, 2023

On May 23, 2023, Shout! Factory is releasing a 3-Disc Collector’s Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray for Christophe Gans’ 2002 thriller Brotherhood of the Wolf.

The film stars Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Emilie Dequenne, Monica Bellucci, Jérémie Rénier and martial arts Mark Dacascos (Drive, The Driver).

Brotherhood of the Wolf looks like a modern-day Shaw Brothers movie, only filmed in French. The peasant warriors especially resemble Shaw extras, what with their long hair and home-made weapons. Maybe choreographer Philip Kwok had something to do with this. And speaking of choreography, the fights throughout are excellent, though there is the occasional, irritating use of slow motion and other filmic trickery. Not exactly Matrix-like, but close enough. Luckily, everyone sticks to the ground and there’s no flying around or any of that nonsense (via COF).

Official details:

When a mysterious beast ravages the countryside, two unlikely heroes are called in to fight the evil. And now, their battle against dark, unspeakable terror is even more gripping with a daring extended version of the film that showcases more of the breathtaking martial arts action and over four hours of in-depth bonus features.
