Not for the faint of heart. This movie will test your limits in what you can handle with gore and disturbing imagery. If you can get through that, Eggers delivers a great full-circle hero bent on vengeance story. Incorporating old Viking religion and feudal slave/master dynamics, this is a no holds barred approach to ancient Nordic storytelling.
