| Summary: | "Kriemhild's Revenge" begins after the death of Siefgriend, and weaves the treacherous tale of his widow's ungodly vengeance upon his murderers. The noble qualities of the first film become liabilities in the second, as the blood oaths and vows of loyalty bring about a maelstrom of violence that results in the slaughter of entire armies (Lang would continue to explore this theme of bloodlust and revenge in such films as "Fury", "The Big Heat", and "Rancho Notorious", but never with such ferocity). |
