Is a plot going to break out at any point? Only, we're over an hour in and, so far, there isn't one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:10

It's just a sequence of events.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:11

Now they're drunk and have been captured by people who aren't drunk.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:12

They've been taken to see the king.

He seems to be being played by Max Von Sydow.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:12

Dull exposition.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:13

He's going on about his daughter having run off with Thulsa Doom.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:16

The woman's trying to talk Conan out of going to fight Thulsa Doom, with quite a nicely written speech.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:16

Which means she's now had about 900% more dialogue in this film than he has.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:17

Conan's on his horsie.

Riding around to orchestral music.

Quite reminiscent of scenes in Witchfinder General.

Narrator won't shut up.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:22

Conan's just met the narrator.

Hopefully, the narrator'll shut up now.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:23

Crowd scene.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:24

People being given robes to wear.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:24

Gay priest.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:25

Conan's knocked him out.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:25

Robed people all heading somewhere.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun 26 Sep 2021 - 22:27

Conan sees infinity.
