About

You’ll like this if you enjoy genre-mixing period mystery with big, wild action and a haunting animal legend in 18th century France; Not for you if you want a straightforward, serious monster hunt or if you disliked Outside-style genre shifts.

Pros: atmospheric period setting; suspenseful mystery; standout action | Cons: story feels muddled; slow pacing stretches; wolf effects age
