Mortal

Mortal (2020) is a Norwegian fantasy thriller you can watch online on iFILM — a brooding origin story from director André Øvredal about a young man who can't control what's inside him. Eric drifts through the fjords until, by accident, a single touch leaves a man dead.

He's caught, locked up, questioned — and none of it holds him. Fear and rage send fire crackling off his skin and thunder rolling across the valley. A psychologist named Christine (Iben Akerlie) is the one person who treats him as a frightened man rather than a monster. Nat Wolff underplays Eric completely, no heroics, which makes his waking power land harder. The authorities want him gone, and he's only beginning to grasp whose blood runs through him.

Øvredal trades the usual glossy superhero beats for a slow, rain-soaked thriller where the Norwegian landscape presses down as hard as any villain, and the source of Eric's power reaches back into old Norse myth. Good for anyone tired of loud blockbusters who wants a grim northern take on the origin story. Stream Mortal (2020) online on iFILM.
