  • Brotherhood of the Wolf -- Absurd French horror film set during the reign of Louis XV about a naturalist (Samuel Le Bihan) and his Iroquois sidekick (Mark Dacascos) sent to track down a ferocious beast that has been slaughtering innocent villagers in the mountainous Gevaudan region. A mishmash of marital arts, cheesy science fiction and campy costume drama, director Christophe Gans blood-and-guts actioner concocts a cockamamie story about the Catholic Church secretly sanctioning the vicious killings in a plot to foil the monarchy. Subtitles. Several sexual situations with nudity and savage violence with gruesome images. O -- morally offensive. (R) 2002




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
