Robert Eggers' The Northman is a bloody - and bloody ambitious - Viking epic that showcases the filmmaker's fervent dedication to historical accuracy and his artistic penchant for long continuous takes. Both of these signature Eggers elements are on display in one of The Northman's most technically challenging action sequences: a Viking berserker raid on a Slav village.

Presented in one long take - a "oner" - the scene tracks Viking prince Amleth and his warriors as they storm the village and swiftly subdue its inhabitants with animalistic savagery. It is a brutal yet meticulously crafted sequence full of violence and mayhem.

IGN spoke with director Robert Eggers and star Alexander Skarsgård about the preparation and precision required to pull off the berserker raid sequence.
