"Really enjoyed this one even though it's quite long and not historically accurate but the characters were cool and some of the effects were very well done. Nice restoration and a few nice special features too so this release was well worth it for me."
"Stockholm Bloodbath is a stylish, brutal, and darkly comedic historical action film that turns a grim 16th‑century massacre into a pulpy revenge saga. It’s messy, bold, and deliberately over‑the‑top—more grindhouse than traditional period drama. The film reimagines the 1520 Stockholm Bloodbath as a chaotic, feminist‑leaning revenge story, following a group of women who survive the massacre and set out to punish the nobles responsible. Instead of aiming for strict historical realism, it embraces exaggerated violence, anachronistic humor, and a punk‑rock tone. Critics note its striking production design, energetic performances, and willingness to treat history as a playground rather than a textbook. Some viewers find the tonal swings—from bleak brutality to absurd comedy—jarring, but others see that unpredictability as part of its charm. Overall, it’s a visually bold, gleefully savage period romp—ideal for fans of irreverent historical fiction and stylized revenge cinema."
"Some great performance from the central cast, I love the medieval setting. One of my favorite releases so far from the partner companies. I find fascinating how they keep finding this unique unknown little hidden diamonds. I also liked the extra features."
"Bad reviews lowered my expectations, but maybe this is why I did enjoy it."
"Excellent addition to my collection!"
"I immediately began researching the true story"
"Awesome slipcover!"
"Lives up to its name. Visually quite nice."
"If you like game of thrones or braveheart, Sisu like stuff, do yourself a service and check this flick out. I found the pacing s bit slow at times, but overall entertaining. Comes with a handful of nifty extra features and cool artwork on the slipcover and sleeve."
"What an excellent movie. A gripping tale that is largely historically accurate. A nice short feature to go with it. An extended director's cut which was great on my second watch when I watched with my dad. And as expected from VS and their affiliates beautiful case, slipcover and disc art."
