For any fans jonesing for some period action, we’ve got what looks like a savage and bloody one in the form of Stockholm Bloodbath. The title alone warrants a view alone but once you view the trailer, you will certainly want to add this one to your viewing que. From director Mikael Håfström comes a slam-bang bloody assault on the senses starring an internationally stacked cast including Sophie Cookson (Kingman-The Secret Service), Claes Bang (The Northman), and Alba August (Netflix’s The Rain). Check out the goods below!
A ruthless political struggle between Sweden and Denmark turns bloody under the tyranny of the mad King Christian II. Caught up in this deadly war, two sisters seek revenge on the men who brutally murdered their family.
Inspired by one of the bloodiest and darkest events in Scandinavia, making it an epic portrayal of history. Featuring a star-studded cast of international actors, including Sophie Cookson (Kingman-The Secret Service), Claes Bang (The Northman), and Alba August (Netflix’s The Rain) and directed by Oscar-nominated Mikael Håfström (Evil, 1408). STOCKHOLM BLOODBATH is an action, adventure, and comedy that follows two sisters who seek revenge on the men who brutally murdered their family.
Additional cast includes Mikkel Boe Følsgaard, Jakob Oftebro, Ulrich Thomsen, Emily Beecham, Thomas Chaanhing, Kate Ashfield, Adam Pålsson, and Wilf Scolding. Helena Danielsson penned the script.
I’m going to admit that I don’t know a lot about Sweden’s history but I’m looking forward to getting educated at the same time I watch two young ladies lay waste to an army of cutthroats. Infusing Hong Kong style action design with heavy handed period drama is a slam dunk and this one goes all in with the brutal and barbaric set pieces and buckets of blood. The tagline “For Carnage and Glory” is a chef’s kiss alone so why not combine Jackie Chan style mayhem with a little BBC drama.
