The Northman is nothing you haven't already seen. The Scandavian setting makes this seem like a brand new style of movie, but don't let it fool you. It's every cliche warrior movie, just based in the mysterious "north". The cast makes the price of admission worth it though, in my opinion.

Trust me, the first half or even the first 3/4 you might not get this movie. You're going to want to withdraw, but you have to make it to the end to piece it all together. It's a stunningly beautiful movie with some great messages about mother/daughter and husband/wife relationship dynamics... but you have to go with the flow to get there.

The trailer led me to believe this might've been a different movie... I do recommend this for old-school horror fans, but go in with an open mind to this style of filmmaking. You definitely can't go wrong with A24 as well.
