Robert Eggers' The Northman is brutal, vivid, and beautiful. It's too good to be confined to a niche audience.

. The general feeling, he said, is that if it isn't either of these films, "we're fucked.”, the most recent, came out 22 years ago, and both predate the current superhero franchise boom. Eggers has acknowledged the layout of the modern movie landscape, admitting that, as a kid, he took interest in comic book characters, but that the medieval world and "the sea creatures and the satyrs and the wild men and the demons did kind of put Marvel to shame, in my eyes.

Several decades skip by and Amleth is a grown man, a preposterously ripped Berserker who howls at the moon and bites out the throats of his enemies.is based on the Viking story of Amleth, an Icelandic folktale; Shakespeare drew on the 13th-century version recorded in the. But unlike the Danish prince, Amleth is a psychopathic monster, watching as his compatriots burn children alive.

Eggers’ style is to mix horror with history. Accuracy, he has said, is not a must for historical films, but it lends a helpful structure to the stories he wants to tell. His first film,, which cost $4 million, follows a family in 17th-century New England who leave the safety of their village after a religious dispute. Their new home, inevitably, sits on the perimeter of a ridiculously creepy dark wood.
