This Violent Viking Movie on Netflix Is the Perfect Anti-Christmas Watch

Released in 2022, The Northman is the third feature film from director Robert Eggers, following The Witch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019). He’s currently working on Nosferatu, due in 2024. Eggers co-wrote The Northman with Icelandic writer Sjón, drawing inspiration from the Danish legend of Amleth – the same story that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet – and incorporating elements of Norse mythology.
