Synopsis:
The story takes place in 1766, when the inhabitants of Gevaudan are
frightened by unusual events. Their hilly land is often wrapped in fog and at
late hours, desperate cries that chill the blood fill the air. A beast is on the
loose! It kills women and children, tearing them up. Local men organize many
searches, but the beast always gets away. The king sends his trustworthy
emissary, Gregoire de Fronsac, a famous and esteemed scientist… This film is based on real events that took place at the time of King Louis
XV, and depicts the French myth about the beast of Gevaudan.
