Viking Blood

Seems like a pretty amateur effort, but the actors take it seriously and I enjoyed it. Sort of a Viking era Western. Some of the other reviewers are right in that the editing is terrible. Has lots of other flaws but it has a certain charm that you only find in independent flicks.

It is a meandering series of half squirts at a coherent plot. The big bad Earl has 10 men plus his wife and himself that the goody takes down. The good thing about it is it ends.

I couldn't stop myself laughing from the very first moment the main character and his ridiculous haircut appeared on the screen. An iconic brutal viking figure that's gonna haunt me in my most terrible nightmares for sure.

Well. I was thinking about this as I went to the loo...how really awful it is. But then I thought....really, the people probably DD live in ramshackle little villages. They probably DID fall out with the people who lived over the hill. They probably DIDNT have a whole lot to say to each other and when they did, I might have been just as lame. They probably DID look as dirty.

Then I realised the lead was playing the villages off against each other and it is a Viking remake of Clint Eastwood's famous spaghetti Western. Is it Tgbau, or is it "A Fistful of Dollars"?

That made it a slightly better film, as at least there was a semblance of a plot - to copy the plot of another movie. Because otherwise, it didn't make any sense at all. Really.

Usually there is pretty scenery or something to make up for it. There wasn't.

If you are up for an amateurish Viking flick with decent norse theme, this is the movie for you. When the lone hero does his thing some other dudes tries to do theirs. Costumes is decent (armour not so much though It would work in a reenactment society wich it probably origins from). The story is slow, built by a slow storyteller and he has a hard time convincing me to listen. The actors are quite good but the obviously lack directions. Music and sound is decent, but the dubbing has its flaws. I would only recomend this movie to someone who are binging Viking movies. Otherwise, walk away!
