Robertehoward Stories

The forty-second entry of the 2022-2023 Film Journal features the first cinematic adaptation of one of the fantasy genre's most famous characters, "Conan the Barbarian". Here, I tackle my take on the sword-and-sorcery genre and what distinguishes this film in the modern day and age.

A sword and sorcery adventure story with some elements of cosmic horror.

A sword and sorcery story with inspiration drawn from Lovecraft's The Doom That Came To Sarnath.

After her lover is killed by a serpent man, Sona is sold into slavery and gains strength. Once doing so, she vows revenge on the lizard who ruined her life. Full of blood shed, creatures, a bit of smut and a fantastic female lead, HUNTRESS OF NOR mixes Robert E. Howard's tales with J.A. Flynn's definitive prowess.
