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. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Daneland (Denmark).
Leave your thoughts about Beowulf & Grendel.
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsA semi-mythic period piece, Beowulf & Grendel offers sublime scenery that's breathtaking and bone-chilling. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyThis film has constant action, drinking jokes, and a blood-thirsty troll. |
| Movie HabitMarty MapesA fascinating trip to the dark ages and a good story well told |
| CinematicalKim VoynarGunnarsson has made a film that would make the real Beowulf and Grendel, if they ever really existed, quite proud. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergIf you're game for a strange and beautiful-looking new version of the (very) old legend, you can safely give this one a rental. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghThis movie won't be to everyone's taste, but it will certainly bedevil some dreams. |
| Jam! MoviesLouis B. HobsonThe incredible landscapes are breathtaking and hint at how inhospitable nature can be. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThe thrilling beauty of this reading of Beowulf is that it makes [the characters] feel modern... These people live in the real world, not in a fable and not in a history book. |
| Boxoffice MagazineAnnlee EllingsonBeowulf's reality-driven approach suffers for lack of scope and questionable poetic license. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekDriven by what could only be called mad Icelandic energy, Gunnarsson's Beowulf & Grendel is by turns stark, ludicrous and fascinating, with the odd dumb joke and anachronistic wisecracks leavening the earnestness. |
