Ratings and reviews

If you know nothing about the Norwegian Black Metal scene going into this then you will be very confused. The documentary is all over the place in a manner that you would expect of a free YouTube mini doc. It fails to provide much of anything original.

This is one of my favorite documentaries. But I also love Norwegian black metal. If you are a music or 90s pop culture fan, you may enjoy this as well. The scene and story are fascinating.

This documentary is awful. As I kept watching it I kept wondering is this really it? This feel like it was made by students in a classroom. Super poor quality and all over the place.
