Synopsis
Beowulf & Grendel (2005) — watch online on iFILM, a gritty fantasy action film directed by Sturla Gunnarsson. Shot on location in Iceland, the film stars Gerard Butler as the Norse warrior Beowulf, with Stellan Skarsgård as King Hrothgar and Sarah Polley in a supporting role.
Hrothgar's hall is being torn apart, night after night, by a creature the Danes call Grendel. Beowulf crosses the sea to end it. What he finds is not a mindless monster but something harder to kill — a troll who watched his father die at human hands and has been keeping score ever since. The fight scenes are brutal. The moral calculus is worse.
Based on one of the oldest surviving works of Old English literature, this 2005 co-production reframes the epic poem as a character study rather than a conquest myth. Director Gunnarsson strips away heroic gloss and leaves the ambiguity. Watch Beowulf & Grendel (2005) online on iFILM.
