Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Gustav Lindh, Ethan Hawke, Björk, Willem Dafoe

Director: Robert Eggers

The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers is back, this time with an epic early medieval saga, The Northman.

Either way, there’s a lot of blood, a lot of murder, and a lot of beautiful cinematography.

With the crime syndicate, the FBI, and Mexican intelligence on his trail as the bodies pile up, he has to stay one step ahead.
