Stockholm Bloodbath

Stockholm Bloodbath (2024) is a Danish-Swedish historical action film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Mikael Håfström, the film is set in 1520, when Danish King Christian II arrived in Stockholm under the guise of peace and ordered the execution of the Swedish nobility in what history calls the Stockholm Bloodbath. Claes Bang plays Christian II; Sophie Cookson plays Anne, one of two sisters drawn into the carnage.

Anne and her adoptive sister Freja make a vow at a wedding that turns into a massacre: find the men who murdered their family, and make them pay. Their hunt pulls them into the heart of the Swedish-Danish power struggle, through court conspiracies and open battle, with Claes Bang's king presiding over it all with the calm authority of someone who has already decided how it ends.

Håfström builds the film as a straightforward action-adventure on a real historical framework — brutal, kinetic, and uninterested in turning the past into a lecture. For viewers who want medieval Scandinavia with actual stakes, it delivers on both fronts. Stream Stockholm Bloodbath (2024) online on iFILM.
