Christopher Lambert stars in this futuristic update of the classic poem written in 900 AD and set in a world of supernatural evil and inexplicable danger! Torn from a legend whose roots are buried in the mists of time, Beowulf is half man -- half god. Living in a techno-futile world of the future, a medieval land where technology's secrets are locked away in a mute past, Beowulf fights his way through a besieging army and into a mysterious, ominous castle on the edge of nowhere to face an evil within ... a beastly spawn of man and demon named Grendel. Now he must fight to the death in order to quell the raging violence hidden deep in his own bedeviled soul! (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

Christopher Lambert is perhaps the best element of this entire film, which is a bit of a horror, a bit of an action movie, and a bit of a historical spectacle, but it fails to bring anything to fruition that truly stands out. The plot isn't entirely bad, but the overall originality is killed by the execution.

A bad film through and through whose greatest ornament (and best actress!) is the very attractive Rhona Mitra – the Middle Ages look good on her (yeah, greetings, Doomsday). Lambert plays his part boringly and Graham Baker directs a pretty interesting B-movie premise with the cute helplessness of a fan who lacks both the resources and the talent to create something in any way memorable. The action scenes and the special effects are terrible, but the film at least goes by fast and it’s not boring.
