Western Pyrenees, year 778. When his land is threatened by the ruthless armies of the Frankish emperor, a Basque warlord asks for help from his ancestral gods.
It’s dark and spooky, gorgeously filmed and constructed, and a thrilling historical horror adventure. Seriously, there’s a giant cannibal cyclops, this rules.
