A gritty, blood-soaked reimagining of Norse mythology that trades heroic grandeur for visceral combat and darker moral complexity.
The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster.
