In a castle somewhere in the future or the past, Evil itself has spread. The army has put up a ring of quarantine around the place, and nobody is allowed to leave the place alive. A strange man, Beowulf, arrives one day and offers his help. Since any man is helpful, he is allowed to hunt the threat, which comes at night in a shapeless blur with the sole intent to kill. But Beowulf also seems to have a dark secret: His fatal wounds heal quicker than small ones of others, and he is the first one ever to wound the beast. So, courage is building up in the rows of the few that might live to see another day.
In a besieged land, Beowulf must battle against the hideous creature Grendel and his vengeance seeking mother.
This movie REALLY surprised me as how GOOD it was!! With Christopher Lambert in it, it had to be good, but this is his best performance since the first Highlander movie. The soundtrack blew me away with its mix of metal, chanting, and eerily echoing music. The acting was above par and with the updating of the ancient Olde English tale to a futuristic/medieval setting; it's a feast for the eyes and ears. Grab the popcorn and a soda and ENJOY!!
For those who appreciate the Beowulf story & decent cinematography, my recommendation is to see the 13th Warrior and forget this sad effort entirely. The monster "Grendel" becomes a cave-dwelling tribe, the "Wendel", and the central character is not actually named "Beowulf" but the parallels are obvious -- right down to having 3 confrontations to deal with.

The 13th Warrior comes as close as any video I've seen to capturing a plausibly imagined world of Iron Age "Northmen".

Would love to hear of any other deliberate Beowulf parallels in the world of cinema...

The mysterious mercenary Beowulf (Christopher Lambert) enters a fortress and offers its ruler Hrothgar () learns that his wound has healed quickly. After Beowulf decapitates Grendel's arm and Beowulf and Kyra fall in love, Beowulf reveals to Kyra who he is. Grendel's mother (Layla Roberts) enters the fortress and seeks to avenge Grendel, by killing everyone in the fortress, and Beowulf engages Grendel's mother in mortal combat. Beowulf is based on an Old English epic poem, author unknown and dated as having been written somewhere around 1000 AD, possibly earlier. The poem was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Mark Leahy and David Chappe. There have since been three more adaptations of the epic poem: Beowulf & Grendel (2005) (2005), Beowulf: Prince of the Geats (2007) (2007), and the animated Beowulf (2007) (2007). The explanation that Beowulf gives in the movie is that he could sense "the Darkness" and so he came alone to kill Grendel because he "had to." In the poem, however, Beowulf came by ship with about a dozen of his clansmen from the land of the Geats (southern Sweden) because they had heard about Grendel's doings and they wished to help. A definitive answer is not given in the movie (nor in the poem). A good guess is that Grendel was able to shape change, e.g., into the mist that can occasionally be seen floating in the background. Another possibility is that Grendel was able to turn himself invisible, taking form only when killing. Granted, all the doors were locked from the inside, so there are only two explanations: (1) he was already in there, or (2) he entered through the same vent that Beowulf used to get inside. No. Neither did they have wrist watches, plastic body bags, airlocks on the castle doors, rooftop loudspeakers, nor lighters to light torches, as some viewers have reported seeing. A movie's use of modern technologies in medieval settings has been termed steampunk and has led some viewers to conclude that this version of Beowulf was set in the post-apocalyptic future or some alternative world. Cutting off Grendel's arm and displaying it on the roof has resulted in easing everyone's fears. Hrothgar opens the wine cellar, the villagers abandon their watch around the outpost periphery, and Beowulf prepares to depart, thinking that his work is done. Although everyone thinks that Grendel has lumbered off to die, they are wrong. He has returned to the cave where he lives with his mother (Layla Roberts), who is now eager to avenge her son. She sneaks into the castle and seduces Roland (Götz Otto) while, at the same time, Kyra (Rhona Mitra) attempts to seduce Beowulf into staying with her. Suddenly, Beowulf senses the presence of Evil in the outpost. As Beowulf goes in search of it, Kyra warns Hrothgar, and they head for the dining hall to warn the others, only to find everyone already slain, including Roland. Grendel's mother appears before them, explaining to Hrothgar that she is the succubus who has been sharing his bed and that Grendel is Hrothgar's son. She further explains that the outpost was hers long before Hrothgar and his people moved in and that Grendel has merely been trying to claim what, by rights, belongs to him. When Hrothgar goes for her, Grendel shows up and pulls him off, crushing him to death in his strong grip. As Kyra lays on the floor in a daze, having been batted across the room by Grendel, Beowulf drops from the ceiling and plunges his sword through Grendel's chest. His mother attempts to seduce Beowulf, but he resists, so she transforms into the monster that she really is and tries to kill Beowulf. Just when it looks like she's got Beowulf by the throat, he uses his sword to slam open a gas jet in the wall. The firey gas bursts forth and sets mom on fire. As the whole outpost goes up in flames, Beowulf and Kyra, the only survivors, escape on horseback. In the final scene, Kyra convinces Beowulf to take her with him. Beowulf has long ago passed into public domain and can be found in several places on the Internet. While the movie takes a few things from the poem (e.g., the characters Beowulf and Hrothgar, the monster Grendel and his mother, the story of Grendel ravishing the people of the "outpost", the display of Grendel's arm from the rooftop, and the mother of Grendel returning for revenge), mostly everything else was embellishment. There were no angry villagers trying to slice an innocent girl in half, there was no daughter of Hrothgar hot for Beowulf, Beowulf's father was not Baal, Grendel's father was the biblical Cain, Grendel's mother was a mere hag, Hrothgar's wife was alive and well, and Beowulf stayed at Hall Heorot to rule after Hrothgar's death. The advice of those who have both seen the movie and read the poem is to view the movie as a fun flick that uses some of the original story as a guideline. She's a succubus, a female demon who comes to men during their sleep. Succubi are said to make love to a sleeping man in order to take their semen and then use it to create new demons. It's generally accepted by most modern scholars that succubi were historically accepted as an explanation for male nocturnal emissions. In the movie, the succubus turns out to be Grendel's mother. Everytime Hrothgar would stand against Grendel and challenge him to a fight, Grendel would reply, "Not you." It's not until the end of the movie where it is revealed that Hrothgar is Grendel's father. This development is not part of the poem.
