It is the story of an area in 11th century Sweden which had been converted to christianity and where some local folks had been too hard on some of the pagan remnants. When a missionary disappears in this forested area, a village deputy gets a "posse" together to go onto the forest to retrieve him and his companions. The searchers are attacked by bandits at the edge of the forest and then, as they get further in,
they are attacked by something else. These are the Draug.
As a historical movie it is very accurate; nothing anachronistic to distract in the dialogue, costuming, or sets. The acting was very good and the scenery was exceptional. Both used to advantage in telling a spooky story based on Norse mythical creatures. We loved it

Anything that can be tagged with a Vikings label, will be tagged as a Vikings inspired movie. The tv show had a lot to do with that. But this is more mystical, rather than anything else. You have a group of people, who have the strangest encounter ... and one that is not from this world.
Not that the group does recognize that danger. Rather denies it partially to say the least. But for a low budget movie, the effects are good, the costumes are fine and the acting is good too. This may not be enough to make you happy, but for anyone who loves a movie with a few flaws that tries to go above and beyond with some mythical and mystical notions ... this will be enough

Although I got the impression the budget may have been tight, the makers of this film got everything out of it. The atmosphere of the forest was dark and the sense of foreboding it lent went along way towards making the movies low budget work well. The acting was good and the fact I knew none of them seemed to make it better. I was happy to stumble upon this film and would recommend it as a good watch if you like horror/supernatural films.
I'll admit that I'm not sharpest knife in the cutlery draw but, then again, I'm not exactly stupid either. That being said, I was lost when the end to this film eventually came into view. I think it was the last 20-30 minutes where I started to realise that I had very little idea of what exactly was going on. I'm still wondering now.
The locations are suitably bleak and moody and the acting was good. The film was a mystery tour, I enjoyed the journey, but I have no idea where it was we ended up.

The set design and the locations are very good but the acting and the story is absolutely terrible.
It's rare I dont finish the film and i had only 10 mins left

- GoofsSome of the clothing looks suspiciously modern. About halfway through, a captured bandit is being restrained and the leggings he is wearing look suspiciously straight and the cloth resembles denim. A glimpse of a child in a cave looks like any child from the year the film was made.
