ivorcogdell Admittedly, this was an impulse buy for me, a case of nice cover, I'll risk it. Unfortunately, this risk did not pay off. Reading other reviews, I find it was filmed in two weeks on a low budget - IT SHOWS ! Pathetic wannabe of an action film. A story that could have given wings, BUT too many daydreams / flashbacks, not enough budget to do the job.Quote "Nominated for best picture at seven film festivals", well I'm glad I did not have to sit through the others. The only "scrap" is right at the end,you cannot call it a battle, its appalling. But, to be fair, at least they did not have pointy headgear.This does not deserve a Viking funeral, it is not worth the materials it is made out of. To coin a phrase, "Run for the hills" if you see this coming to a DVD player near you.

rain_x_tiger This movie isn't the way it's poster shows, and I assure you that if you don't consider my comment as a friendly warning then you'll feel very sorry after or even before finishing this movie.Those who have written good comments about this movie doesn't know about the real sense of what is called a movie at all.Despite of it's cheapness, actors are so pathetic specially the children - They have successfully put this movie in entire mess from the very beginning. It has a very bad choreography, bad make-up, the brave uncle got a funny mustache that doesn't appear to be true. If you can't make it look real then why bother to have one? It was plainly better without it.This an ultimate insult to the audience.

citrusf2008 I enjoyed this little indie film. from reading the boards opinions vary greatly, but thats the subjective thing about film/art.I enjoyed the story, and the subplots. The actors contributed well to the storyline although I would have liked to see a bit more close ups but thats besides the point.I enjoyed the editing techniques which toggle between present and past.its amazing that viking villages still exists. I really enjoyed the authenticity of those longhouses , viking boats and splendid viking battle combined with a vikingish montage. very artistic.its obviously a low budget ( less than 5 million dollars) but its still a nice little indie movie regardless of some of the less than commendable remarks made here. I think Im taking a trip to visit scandinavia next summer to visit this place.F.Citrush Jr.

lorettaH304 My ancestors being of Scandinavian descent we selected to watch this movie at Bare Bones festival.We were expecting some gore and barbaric scenes however my husband and I were wonderfully surprised to discover not only a unique and interesting story but a movie fit for the entire family. Yes there were some fierce battles and fights but it was made in a somewhat non-gory, very "un- Hollywood" styled way so that even our grand children would feel comfortable watching. The director who was even there in person took time before and after the movie to answer any questions. L. Henson,
