In Denmark, A.D. 507, the realm of King Hrothgar is threatened away the tormented demon Grendel that attacks the locals in their celebrations. The Danish king offers a reward for the termination of the creature, attracting to Herot the brave Geet warrior Beowulf that seeks on account of glory. After a brutal battle, Beowulf defeats the fiend and after receiving an old memento as favour, he finds his men slaughtered in the platoon saloon of the castle.

This film should definately not be a 12!

GO LARGE WIF IT
