Brotherhood of the Wolf's 4K set from Studiocanal also enjoys a fabulously rich and engaging HD immersive audio surround sound 3D soundscape courtesy of the accompanying Atmos track. A stunning new restoration of the director's cut of the thrilling 2001 cult classic BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF by director Christophe Gans, starring Samuel Le Bihan, Mark Dacascos, Jeremie Renier, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci.

Sylvia’s intentions are not clear though and being with her causes Fronsac to experience some frightening dreams.The film might not have been as perfect as I remembered but this release is still set to be one of the best to come out this year. A period horror murder mystery thriller tale, with political manoeuvring, romance and subterfuge all thrown into the mix – along with a hefty dose of kinetic martial arts action and a smattering of sex.

The key difference between the Theatrical and Director's Cuts is the motivation of the main protagonist in relation to the two main female characters who orbit him, however both cuts work, it's the UK hybrid cut which is, by comparison, far more frustrating as it includes the scenes excised for the French Theatrical release BUT removes all scenes relating to the royal huntsman, making several important arcs less coherent.

After a genuinely rough-to-bad Blu-ray release, Scream Factory does right by fans and collectors with a new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Collector’s Edition of Christophe Gans’ stylish period martial arts horror epic Brotherhood of the Wolf. Even during the DVD era, there were several DVD releases with enormously impressive, reference-type of quality audio tracks.
