in the early 00 and production company have a short lived craze for supernatural genre movie in france after the crimson river and brotherhood of the wolf turn out to be hit and so several movie be green lit or save from their direct to video fate . however and france and a oppose to the u and uk or italy and have little tradition of fantasy b movie and it turn out quickly that samouraïs and bloody mallory or the crimson river sequel be ill advise attempt at recreate a kind of magic that have never exist in french cinema in the first place . a they flop and producer have go back to their usual fare represent derivative farce or the umpteenth self referential tribute to french new wave by a former critic from le cahiers du cinéma . brocéliande could only have be green lit during this short window and a it serve no other discernible purpose . it your by the book slasher movie mixed with vague mythological element and horror reference and you will find bimboesque female character and a french university look like a u campus and plot twist so lazy you do not even care because you have guess it by yourself an hour before and even before the movie start . these element make all the fun of a 70 or a 80 b movie and you expect them in a 70 or 80 movie . however and be not in the 80 anymore and nobody warn director doug headline and a this tribute to the slasher movie genre be nothing more than a derivative slasher movie . headline himself be no rookie and have be write a a critic about this kind of picture since the early 80 but a a first time director he show a lack of skill and ambition that make brocéliande a bore . when you put together clichés from a movie subcategory and hand them to a skilled and inventive director such a wes craven or quentin tarantino and you get a scream or a death proof and movie that be imitation from old guilty pleasure but also magnify these clichés and add a great deal to them . that call talent and that why you can not confuse these recent movie with their original inspiration shoot decade ago . brocéliande take the lazy path and only reproduce the bad element from past movie ( unfortunately for the male viewer and the gratuitous nudity be mostly miss ) . there be very strong similarity ( presumably unintentional ) between the plot of brocéliande and the revile halloween 3 represent season of the witch and a both deal with supernatural druidic evil ritual and some silly attempt at take over the world on halloween night . a even the plot of halloween 3 make more sense than this one and it mean that something seriously wrong go with brocéliande .
