Christopher Gans’ (Silent Hill) based-on-true-events 18th century action-adventure is the only period piece on this list. Something is killing the residents of a small village in rural France and its up to Samuel La Bihan (Grégoire de Fronsac) and his Iroquois sidekick Mani (Marc Dacascos) to discover what it is. Lots of Matirx-inspired action set in the French wilderness. A strange but successful mixture of genres.
