Robert Eggers' debut film, The Witch, landed on a number of lists of the best horror films of the year, a similar feat accomplished with his The Lighthouse last year, though the filmmaker's cinematographer Jarin Blaschke has teased that his upcoming film, The Northman, will be "dark and unusually violent." Given the macabre subject matters of his first two films, for the upcoming film to be described as "dark" teases quite the terrifying tale. Despite the intense subject matter of his earlier efforts, they held back on being overtly violent, though it sounds like The Northman is set to deviate from his typical filmmaking sensibilities.
