Viking Siege

Really enjoyed the pulpy nature of the film, it's just a shame that the branding didn't reflect that, like the old artwork on their website.

Definitely worth a watch if you're into B movie style features.

First of all, I got to wondering why a coven of evil monks would abduct most everyone in a village except for the 19-20 year old babes in leather bra armor. And then it occurred to me that the reason was they did not want to get skewered and shishkabobbed.

The gals all had athletical bods, so I figured they must be gymnists and such, but there are three stunt women listed in the credits, so I guess they did most of the body slams, flips and so on, not the athletical looking actresses

Most of the movie was done in one large room, but U don't really notice this because of the sword fights, fist fights, monster fights, explosions, ninjitsu etc.

Despite what some of the reviews say, the acting is pretty good, good enough to make me think the makers of this movie held auditions, or at least insisted the actos have experience in acting from somewhere. A few of the fight scenes were grusome, and every babe in leather bra armor was worth any 2-3 bad guys, if not more.

The movie really isn't meant to be a comedy, the acting is serious, but when a viewer starts thinking about the movie, U can't help but do some chuckling.

I think this whole crew given a budget and a well thought out script would turn out a decent kick ass movie.

The movie was made in Wales, and I think any guy who likes action movies will enjoy this. Gals will probably be put off by it, but with that being said, seeing young women taking down corrupt monks (some fight back viciously), taking on killer zombie like tree monsters, and going face to face with norsemen may just appeal to some modern female viewers.

The death scenes with blood spewing out of mouths kind of got old, and I started wondering where the primary female protagonist was getting all her bolts from, but I guess if a standard hollywood shoot em up can have a pistol that shoots 80 times w/o reloading, then Wales can have their miniature bolt thrower w/ bolts appearing out of thin air by god. There was no flying around in the fight scenes, so it definitely is a step up from 99 % of all asian sword fight movies.

Got no idea why it is called "viking siege", but I would not be able to think of a name for this movie, guess the makers of it couldn't either.

This story of supernatural tree shaped men attacking a motley group of people in the middle ages has the look of a story with too many cooks spoiling the broth.

There were just too many characters who had superiority complexes, and the ones who would have the superiority complexes had the opposite.

The monks are depicted as ridiculous middle ages version of Frank Burns, and the other characters are just as one dimensional.

On the bright side, as contrived as it is, there is a bit of non contrived fates. A bit of "let the cards fall where they fall" look, instead of a deliberated goal appearance.

The biggest problem is "character". These characters all look like they were written by or for certain actors, which was probably the intention, but it looks too obvious. Way too many are too Hollywood, and few make sense for the era. For instance, the monks are depicted as cowardly weak mercenaries, when in fact the monks of the era could either be weak or mercenary, but couldn't be both.

There were too many Hollywood characters for the movie, too. Had it been a mini series, maybe it would work, although the characters were so standard and Hollywood that it would only work for the geekiest people.

More ridiculous was the woman who never ran out of arrows. I don't know where the arrows all were. They just appeared out of the air. I guess they dropped from the ceiling. Probably from an elaborate mechanism she devised that dropped three arrows every ten minutes.

Amazonian slave girls vs corrupt and sleazy monks, then grab a bunch of Norse men hot on their heels running from an alien infestation mutating the locals into 'Tree Beasts' and you have a very entertaining but utterly ridiculous little film.

Not much in the ways of a story other then trying to survive the night, super hot babes and 50's Dr Who rubber masked creatures. It;s cheap & nasty but FUN!

Absolutely have no idea why this film is marketed as 'Viking Siege' this film was once known as 'Attack of the Tree Beasts', which makes WAY more sense of this ridiculous and over the top homage to low budget 80's B-Movies. The Vikings in Siege are more Norse men than actual real vikings.

TREES, CREATURES, HOT WOMEN, MEN WITH BEARDS!

For what it is, it's guilty, trashy FUN!

A medieval romp with a posse of vengeful women (from a statistically unlikely village that contains only gorgeous females) planning to kill the monks who enslaved their relatives. Throw in the local Lord in the wrong place at the wrong time, Kung Foo and some double hard Vikings with a mysterious secret and you have the ingredients of a belter of a movie. The effects are average but its a humorous and well paced film able to keep you engrossed throughout. Its not thought provoking, have a subtle script or give strong characterisation but its does not mean to. Its provides enjoyable escapism and it would be pretentious to compare it to some art house play. People who value this sort of film will have fun and those who do not shouldn't watch. Its not great but with a bigger budget it might have been and it is most certainly not a waste of time.
