13 years after Le Pacte des loups, his ambitious, successful superproduction, Christophe Gans returns to revive French movies with the same arsenal – stars, a popular story and a huge budget. Unfortunately, La Belle et la Bête seems condemned to burying the genre for another few years, with its orgy of heavy special effects, unbalanced performances and a weak script that offers space only for superficial characters. A difficult awakening that fails in comparison to Gans’ excellent Silent Hill.
