Enough about the amazing cast, let’s talk a bit about the people who made this film. Let’s start with the story. It is based on a story called the Beast of Gévaudan, which is a story/legend about a man-eating creature killing people in France. Pretty cool that it is based on an actual real event. Anyway. the director. This flick is directed by Christophe Gans, who is a wonderful French director. He made the 2006 Silent Hill flick, which is pretty solid, but this is his biggest success. He also directed Crying Freeman , which is his connection to Mark Dacascos. He also cowrote it with Stéphane Cabel who I don’t have any memory of him attached to any thing I have seen. He nailed this, though. The cinematography is done by Dan Laustsen, who is not a guy most people know. But he is Del Toro’s cin ematographer for a bunch of his flicks, including The Shape of Water and Nightmare Alley, which he was nominated for both. He also is the go to for Chad Stahelski for the last 3 John Wick films. He can really film action. And lastly, the creature is a mixture of computer animation (not that great) but also a puppet (awesome) done by the Jim Henson Creature shop. So you know it looks awesome.
