Boarding a Viking vessel set for the new world, the ship is engulfed in a sinister fog, signalling the trouble to come.
Arriving in this brave new world, the Vikings face a grizzly fate as One-Eye unleashes the violent power within him.

Ratings and reviews

This is a brooding journey and movie. It is not an 'action' film but it has some brutal action scenes in it. If you like Pasolini, you might appreciate the mood. It is very pretentious but give in and let it wash over you - you might enjoy it. Great soundtrack too and stunning landscape of the isle of Skye.

Goes nowhere.

No it is. So bad
